DESCRIPTION:
At the City Council meeting on June 19, 2012, the City Council adopted the collection rates for
all solid waste services provided within the City of Dublin. Construction & Demolition (C&D)
debris collection is a subset of the rates that were adopted. Since the rate adoption, Staff has
been approached by Amador Valley Industries (AVI) with a request to amend the rates for
cardboard and wood collection service. C&D collection for cardboard and wood have a tiered
cost structure where the larger bins cost less on a per cubic yard basis than smaller bins, with
the intent that the smaller bins would be picked up more frequently and, therefore, would have a
higher per collection charge. However, AVI has indicated that most customers are electing to go
with the largest bin size to reduce their cost of collection, which is having the unintended
consequences of depleting the supply of the largest size bins, especially where smaller bins
would have normally been chosen by the customer. Thus, AVI is proposing to amend the rate
schedule to have one consistent per cubic yard rate for the collection of C&D cardboard and
wood debris. Currently, the largest bin, which is the cheapest, costs $11.12 per cubic yard, and

AVI is proposing that this rate be applied to all service levels, thereby, reducing the cost of
collection services for smaller bins, and removing the disincentive for smaller bins. In addition,
AVI has proposed to add additional bin options for the collection of mixed C&D debris, in order
to provide customers with greater service selection. The rate change impact is depicted below.

7 Cubic Yards - - $152.88 $21.84
Staff supports this request and believes it will ultimately save money and provide greater
customer service to C&D users. For that reason, Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution
amending the rate schedule for C&D collection services.
