STAFF REPORT
CITY COUNCIL
DATE: September 19, 2017
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM:
Christopher L. Foss, City Manager
SUBJECT:
Designate A.S.I. Cyber Concepts LLC as an Approved Collector of
Electronic Waste for the City of Dublin
Prepared by: Rebecca Parnes, Environmental Technician
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council will consider designating A.S.I. Cyber Concepts LLC as an approved
collector of electronic waste generated in the City of Dublin. This official design ation is
filed with the State of California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery. If
approved, this designation will streamline residents’ electronic waste (e-waste) recycling
experience and expand the City’s official e-waste recycling options.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the Resolution Designating A.S.I. Cyber Concepts LLC as an Approved
Collector of Electronic Waste for the City of Dublin.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None.
DESCRIPTION:
Local governments are required by the State of California to ha ve programs to manage
electronic waste (e-waste) to help facilitate proper e-waste recycling and disposal. The
City of Dublin currently has no designated e-waste drop off locations. Approving A.S.I.
Cyber Concepts LLC as a designated e -waste recycler on behalf of the City of Dublin
broadens e-waste recycling options for residents and expands City of Dublin’s program.
Electronic waste is made up of old appliances that had been powered by electricity.
State law prohibits their disposal in the landfill bec ause e-waste contains chemicals that
are hazardous. The City of Dublin’s current program to manage this material is
provided by the franchised hauler Amador Valley Industries which collects e -waste for
recycling from residents as part of the curbside large item pickup program.

A.S.I. Cyber Concepts LLC has been accepting e-waste for recycling since 1997 in
other parts of the Bay Area. They are an approved collector of e -waste with the State of
California as part of the Covered Electronic Waste Recovery and Recycling Program.
In June, A.S.I. Cyber Concepts LLC began a partnership with the Savers in Dublin
located at 7117 Regional Street to collect e-waste from the public. Before the
partnership, Savers staff turned away residents with old televisions because they were
unable to accept them for reuse or recycling. Since the partnership started in June
2017, A.S.I. Cyber Concepts LLC operating out of Savers has recovered an average of
51 televisions and monitors per week from residents and small businesses.
If the City Council approves A.S.I. Cyber Concepts LLC as a designated collector of
electronic waste on behalf of the City of Dublin, residents will only need to show proof of
residency for their material to be accepted at Savers. This will speed up the e-waste
drop off experience and reduce wait times. City Staff will also receive monthly and
quarterly reports documenting the total e -waste recovered for recycling. A.S.I. Cyber
Concepts LLC data would be included in required reporting to the State as increased e-
waste recycling from the newly designated collection program.
To formalize A.S.I. Cyber Concepts LLS as a designated collector of electronic waste
for the City of Dublin, Staff must complete a Proof of Designation form and file this with
the State. Staff recommends filing a Proof of Designation form for a two -year term
before making a longer term commitment. If for any reason, the City of Dublin wants to
end the designation before the end of the two year term, Staff can do so by notifying the
State Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery.
The City of Dublin can also choose to give other e -waste recycling collectors a similar
designation to further expand e-waste recycling options. Increased e-waste recovery
options broaden the City of Dublin’s programs and expand options for residents to
manage their e-waste in a manner that matches their needs.
NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH:
None.
