9 SBWMA Collected HHW SBWMA $658,000 per year WM Door-to-Door accepted 473,113 lbs. Shoreway accepts 1.3 million lbs. Electronics Batteries Lamps Latex paint Motor oil and filters Antifreeze (About 75% of eligible HHW)

10 Expected Impact of no WM DTD Short-term Residents need to use current programs Tower Road facility and temporary events Specific waste drop-offs Shoreway drop-off available Future Board decides any additional options

11 Options 1. Extend Waste Management at Your Door 2. Partner with County HHW Programs 3. HHW programs at Shoreway 4. Waste Management DTD at San Carlos 5. New DTD proposals 6. Others

12 Extend Waste Management at Your Door Approve proposed agreement Five year term Increased pricing Current Door-to-Door program Residents use it Even with existing programs Users appreciate door collection Five days per week, Mon - Fri Four trucks assigned

13 Partner with County HHW Programs Increase advertising Tower Road Permanent HHW (Thu-Sat) Temporary events 12 proposed locations in 2017 Including 6 events in SBWMA Additional events possible Abandoned waste from jurisdictions Door-to-Door service coming Lifeline service only Initially, one day per week Retail and other drop-offs for certain HHW e.g. paint, e-waste, batteries, lamps, oil, etc.

14 HHW programs at Shoreway Analyze possible permanent HHW Facility Limited space Close proximity to Tower HHW Facility Additional events for SBWMA residents Increase current infrastructure E.g. add oil-based paint Mon-Sat 8:30 am to 4:00 pm

15 Waste Management Door-to-Door at San Carlos Research utilization of SBWMA property for Waste Management terminal for DTD Benefit reduced transportation cost to Tracy Requires new negotiation

16 New Door-to-Door Solicit new proposals from all available vendors Could include all HHW or lifeline only Still need to transport to collection site
