IiiU Systems- <br /> <br /> ~ M~teo Disttk:l <br /> <br /> March 28, 1995 <br /> <br /> Mr. Rahn Becker <br /> Finance Director <br /> City of Burlingame <br /> 501 Primrose Road <br /> Burlingame, CA 94010-3997 <br /> <br /> RE: BFI's Yard Waste Proposal / Le_n_er of Intent <br /> <br /> Dear Rahn: <br /> <br /> I am pleased to submit BFI's letter of intent to the South Bayside Transfer Station Authority Joint <br /> Powers Authority (SBTSA). I remain confident that our letter addresses key points necessary for <br /> the SBTSA decision to start the program~ <br />~2.. <br /> <br /> As we stated in our original proposal, BFI has done extensive research and investigation of <br /> various residential greenwaste/yard waste collection programs to decide the most economical, <br /> efficient and environmental approach for the SBTSA. <br /> <br /> BFI recognizes that many cities are eager to launch a yard waste collection program became of <br /> AB939, the state legislation that requires cities and counties to divert 25 percent of their solid <br /> waste from the landfills by 1995 and 50 percent of the waste stream by the year 2000. Yard waste <br /> collection can play a sLtmificant role in meeting these goals, combined with other recycling <br /> programs and waste reduction. BFI can implement a curbside greenwaste program within six <br /> months after final authorization to do so. <br /> <br /> As stated in BFI's August 15,'1994 J'PA Yard Waste Proposal, our operational design: <br /> <br /> · Implement bi-weekly collection of yard waste and rotate the collection weeks with the <br /> pick-up of recyclables from our current curbside recycling program. ThLq would be <br /> designated as '!Environmental Day" in our promotion and public education. Under this <br /> scenario, a customer would leave out yard waste and recyclables on a designated day. <br /> They would rotate their pick-up day bi-weekly throughout the year. Each customer would <br /> be allowed to leave out up to three - 32 gallon can.q labeled "yard waste" on their <br /> designated "Environmental Day". All yard waste that our 12, two-person routes collect <br /> ..~ will be weighed at the San Carlos Trartqfer Station, recorded by jurisdiction for diversion <br /> <br /> 225 SHOREWAY RD. · P.O.
