BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The California Public Resources Code (Section 47000 et seq.) requires cities and counties to provide household hazardous waste collection programs for the safe collection, recycling, treatment, and disposal of hazardous waste generated by households that should be separated from the solid waste stream. San Bernardino County (County), along with the cities/towns within the County, have developed a countywide cooperative program for the collection and management of household hazardous waste and pharmaceutical waste excluding controlled substances. This program, known as the HHWCP, is operated by SBCFPD’s HHW Section. SBCFPD contracts with all of the cities and towns within the County, excluding the City of Fontana who operates its own program, for participation in the HHWCP.
Existing agreements with the City of Big Bear Lake (Big Bear Lake), City of Colton (Colton), City of Rancho Cucamonga (Rancho Cucamonga), City of Redlands (Redlands) and City of Upland (Upland) for participation in the HHWCP end on June 30, 2022. Big Bear Lake, Colton, Rancho Cucamonga, Redlands and Upland desire to continue to protect the welfare of their residents and personnel through the removal of hazardous waste from homes so that the waste will not pose a danger in the event of a fire or other emergency incident. The recommended agreements will allow these cities to continue to participate in the HHWCP through June 30, 2027.
Approval of the recommended agreements will formalize the terms, conditions, and obligations of each party as they relate to participation in the HHWCP. In accordance with these agreements SBCFPD will be responsible for managing household hazardous waste generated by the residents of Big Bear Lake, Colton, Rancho Cucamonga, Redlands and Upland. SBCFPD will also be responsible for providing annual waste reports to the cities and the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle). For Big Bear Lake, Colton and Redlands, SBCFPD will operate and staff a HHW collection facility on these cities’ property. As for Rancho Cucamonga and Upland, these cities will operate and staff their own HHW collection facility, with SBCFPD providing various services associated with the HHWCP, including the removal of waste and the training of city staff.
