INFORMATIONAL STAFF REPORT
REQUEST: UPDATE ON IMPLEMENTATION OF NEW BURRTEC DEDICATED
ROUTES AND SERVICE DAYS FOR ALL REGULAR SOLID WASTE
AND RECYCLING COLLECTION (RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL)
SUBMITTED BY: Frankie Riddle, Director of Special Programs
DATE: April 14, 2011
CONTENTS: Current and New Burrtec Route Maps
Discussion
Per the new Franchise Agreement, Section 4.16, between the City of Palm Desert and Burrtec
Waste & Recycling Services, implementation of dedicated collection routes for residential,
commercial, and other program routes was to take affect in Palm Desert by the end of 2010.
Burrtec submitted its request to proceed with implementation of the dedicated route changes in
2010; however, staff recommended an implementation date after the holidays. As a result,
Burrtec is now requesting that implementation of the changes commence on May 16, 2011, and
be finalized by Friday, May 20, 2011. Burrtec has indicated that new routes need to be
completed by May due to impact/changes that will need to be made in other communities. Staff
is in support of this schedule.
The route changes were proposed to ensure that Burrtec is better able to assign the waste
generated and materials diverted from the landfill to the proper city. This will also ensure that
the City's waste tonnage, materials diverted from the landfill, and diversion rate can be more
accurately tracked.
Since the proposed new routes are more consolidated and are servicing larger blocks within
neighborhoods than the existing routes, Burrtec's services will be more efficient relative to less
time servicing the City, transportation and equipment costs, fuel costs, etc. In addition, AB 32
has a focus on decreasing the carbon foot print resulting from the solid waste industry and this
would address that issue as well.
