Appendix C
City of Dublin Food Scrap Program Implementation Plan
On December 6, 2004, as part of a competitive bid process, Amador Valley Industries
(A VI) was awarded the contract to provide solid waste, recycling and organics services to
the City of Dublin. As part of the new franchise agreement food scrap will be provided
with the residential organics program. The new Food Scrap Program will begin on July
1, 2005 along with the other new services. The following is the proposed program
implementation plan of the Dublin Residential Food Scrap Program. All public education
outreach materials wiIl be developed by Gigantic Idea Studio.
Organics Carts
Toter Cart Company will be providing the new carts for Dublin residents. A green
organics cart with a green lid will be available to each residential household in the City of
Dublin. New technology has made it possible for the City and A VI to order the organics
cart with an in mold label applied. We are using the artwork that was developed by the
ACWMA that describes the ability to place food scrap into what has been known as the
green waste cart in the past. We think this constant reminder will increase the
participation in the organics program.
