BACKGROUND
The City of Palo Alto’s Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Program began in Fall 1983
as a pilot program. The City’s program was developed in response to increased
community concem about the impact of storage and disposal options for small quantities
of HHW. Palo Alto became the first municipally funded HHW program in the nation.
Today it serves approximately 13 percent of the households and sets standards for other
communities to follow.
Passage of AB 2948 (Tanner Bill) in 1986 required the establishment of county
hazardous waste management policies and programs. The plan adopted by Santa Clara
County includes a countywide HHW Program, which consists of a series of mobile HHW
drop-off events that move to different jurisdictions for each event; and permanent HHW
collection facilities that will be added in the future. In 1991, the County of Santa Clara_
Department of Environmental Health held its first mobile HHW drop-off event.
The City of Palo Alto chose not to join the countywide program because of the high
initial cost and the fact that the City program offered a higher service level and higher
recovery rate of hazardous waste for residents. Currently, the County and 14 cities
participate in the countywide Program -- Campbell, Cupertino, Gilroy, Los Altos, Los
Altos Hills, Los Gatos, Milpitas, Morgan Hill, Monte Sereno, Mountain View, San Jose,
Santa Clara, Saratoga and Sunnyvale. Current annual participation levels for these
agencies range from 1.4 percent to 7 percent of households.
DISCUSSION
The countywide HHW Program is currently funded by a number of revenue streams
including grants, sales of recycled paint, small business waste disposal charges, and
contracts with each participating jurisdiction. The HHW subcommittee of participating
jurisdictions recommended creating a more stable funding mechanism to ensure
consistent revenue to meet residents’ HHW disposal needs and to construct three
permanent collection facilities. The Solid Waste Commission of Santa Clara County
voted to supporta funding mechanism that would apply a fee of $2.80 for each ton of
HHW disposed at landfills located within the county or taken to non-disposal facilities
located within the county which will be transported for disposal to landfills located
outside of Santa Clara County. The $2.80 is composed of two parts as described in
Exhibits B and C of the agreement: $1.30 per ton to assist in funding the cost of
preparing, adopting, and implementing the integrated waste management plan; and $1.50
per ton to fund the operation of a Countywide HHW collection program.
The County Integrated Waste Management Program (CIWMP) would collect and
distribute the $2.80 per ton fee. It will then refund the fee to Palo Alto, except for $0.17
per household ($4,412/yr) to pay for abandoned HHW disposal at nonprofit charitable
reuse organizations.
CMR:256:00 Page 2 of 3
The fee cannot be implemented without the approval of all jurisdictions in the County.
All 15 cities and the unincorporated area of the County must approve the attached agency
agreement in order for collection of a Countywide AB 939 Implementation Fee to begin
by July 1, 2000.
In the event that one or more jurisdictions fails to approve the agreement by July 1, 2000,
the fee will not be collected. The City of Pal0 Alto’s HHW program or funding
mechanism would not be affected. The other 15 agencies (cities and county) would
continue to have an unstable funding source for HHW programs which could increase
costs, reduce service levels, decrease recovery rates of hazardous waste, cause
inconsistent service from year to year, and increase educational costs. Cost increases
may even force stoppage of the countywide program forcing other communities to
individually pursue plans for handling their HHW.
RESOURCE IMPACT
The County estimates it will collect $225,000 per year from the City of Palo Alto (based
on 1998 disposal tons). The County anticipates that it will return all funds to the City
except for $4,412 per year t° cover the cost for abandoned waste disposal at nonprofit
charitable reuse organizations within Santa Clara County. Funds are available in the
Refuse Fund for the anticipated cost of the abandoned waste disposal.
POLICY IMPLICATIONS
This agreement furthers Program N-49 of the Palo Alto Comprehensive Plan.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The agreement is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under
Section 15273, of the CEQA guidelines.

AGENCY AGREEMENT FOR COUNTYWIDE AB 939 IMPLEMENTATION FEE
EXHIBIT C
COUNTYWIDE HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS
WASTE PROGRAM HHW FEE (HHW Fee)
PROGRAM FUNDING SOURCE
HHW Program services are directly mandated .under AB939, which establishes statutory
authority to provide for funding to support planning and implementation of integrated waste .
management programs. The HHW-Fee of $1.50 per ton collected as part of the AB939
Implementation Fee will be the primary source of HHW Program funding.
Funds derived from the HHW Fee will be allocated among four types of HHW service costs as
follows:
A~ Fixed Program Costs will’be apportioned based on the number of households in each
participating jurisdictiion. The number of households will be determined at the beginning of
each Fiscal Year by statistics compiled by the Department of Finance, Demographic
Research Unit in their most recent Report E-I, "Population Estimates for California Cities
and Counties".
B. Abandoned Waste Disposal Cost will be apportioned based on the number of households in
all cities and towns in Santa Clara County and in the unincorporated area of the county.
C. Variable Cost Per Car to provide a base level service to 3% of households in all participating
jurisdictions.
D. Discretionary Funding funded on tonnage generated per participating jurisdiction.
2.FIXED PROGRAM COST
Funds shall be distributed on a per household basis for fixed program costs. This portion of the
funds shall be distributed directly to the Countywide HHW Program. fixed program costs
funding shall be calculated at $1.12, $1.19, and $1.24 per household for fiscal years 2001
through 2003 respectively. Fixed program costs may include, but are not limited to 4.5 full-time
equivalent staff members, facility leasing costs, vehicle lease costs, office supplies, county
administrative overhead, training costs~ equipment and facility maintenance, union negotiated
salary and benefit increases and state mandated facility closure costs.
.3. ABANDONED WASTE DISPOSAL COST
Funds shall be distributed on a per household basis for abandoned waste disposal at $0.17 per
household. This portion of the funds shall be distributed directly to the Countywide HHW
Program. All jurisdictions throughout the COUNTY contribute to this cost including
jurisdictions not participating in the AGENCY AGREEMENT FOR COUNTYWIDE
HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION PROGRAM. The abandoned waste
AGENCY AGREEMENT FOR COUNTYWIDE AB 939 IMPLEMENTATION FEE 10
disposal cost portion will fund disposal of HHW illegally abandoned at nonprofit charitable reuse
organizations. For the purposes of this agreement, the PUBLIC RESOURCES CODE SECTION
41904 defines a nonprofit charitable reuse organizations as follows:
(1) "Nonprofit charitable reuser" means a charitable organization, as defined in Section
501(c)(3) of the federal Intemal Revenue Code, or a distinct operating unit or division of the
charitable organization, that reuses and recycles donated goods or materials and receives more
than 50 percent of its revenues from the handling and
sale of those donated goods or materials.
4.VARIABLE COST PER CAR
The Variable Cost Per Car is the cost associated with actual labor, waste disposal, transportation
and other services provided to the residents at the County HHW Collection Facilities and Mobile
Events. This portion of .the funds shall be distributed directly to the Countywide HHW
Program. The Variable Cost Per Car is estimated to be approximately $60 per ear for Fiscal Year
2001. The estimated cost per car will be adjusted annually to reflect actual service costs. After
fixed costs and abandoned waste costs are allocated on a per household basis, the variable cost
per car will be used to calculate the costs to service 3% of households across all participating
jurisdictions. If the level of 3% of households is not reached, the Countywide HHW.Program
will use the remaining balance of funds, in cooperation with the CITIES, to increase public
outreach and!or provide additional services in that jurisdiction the following year.
5. DISCRETIONARY FUNDING
The Discretionary Funding portion will be allocated based on the tons of waste generated within
each jurisdiction and after allocation of fixed cost, abandoned waste disposal cost and variable
per car cost. Discretionary Funds will be paid as directed by each jurisdiction. Discretionary
Funds must be used for HHW purposes. Options for how to spend these funds include, but are
not limited to, increasing the number of residents served in the jurisdiction by the Countywide
HHW Program, subsidizing curbside used motor oil collection, funding HHW public education,
or providing special programs such as do0r-to-door collection of HHW for the elderly and/or
disabled.
6. PROGRAM FUNDING PASS-THROUGH
Annual funding calculations include HHW Fees collected on behalf of all County jurisdictions.
CITIES, at their option, may participate in the Countywide HHW Program by entering into the
AGENCY AGREEMENT FOR COUNTYWIDE HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE
COLLECTION PROGRAM. CITIES NOT participating in the Agency Agreement will receive
their pro-rata share of funding received by the COUNTY from the HHW Fee, with the exception
of funds for the abandoned waste disposal cost, described above.
If CITIES NOT participating in the AGENCY AGREEMENT FOR COUNTYWIDE
HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION PROGRAM desire to permit residents
to participate in HHW Program services on an emergency basis, then services to these residents
AGENCY AGREEMENT FOR COUNTYWlDEAB 939 IMPLEMENTATION FEE 11
will be provided on a cost recovery basis. A charge equal to the published rates charged to
Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generators will be billed to the CITIES. A CITIES’
representative must call the Countywide HHW Program appointment line to schedule an
appointment for the resident. The pro-rata share of liability will be shared as defined in Section 6
of the AGENCY AGREEMENT FOR COUNTYWIDE AB 939 IMPLEMENTATION FEE.
