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 and should be separated from the solid waste stream.
SBCFPD recognized the need to work in conjunction with the County’s cities/towns to properly manage the disposal of household hazardous waste. Accordingly, the County of San Bernardino and the cities/towns 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 Household Hazardous Waste Collection Program (HHWCP), is operated by SBCFPD’s HHW Division. SBCFPD contracts with the County’s cities/towns, excluding the City of Fontana who operates its own program, for participation in the HHWCP.
Existing agreements with the Big Bear City Community Services District (BBCCSD), City of Highland (Highland), and City of Needles (Needles) for participation in the HHWCP are all scheduled to end on June 30, 2021. BBCCSD, Highland, and Needles desire to continue to protect the welfare of its 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. The recommended agreements will allow their participation in the HHWCP to continue for five more years through June 30, 2026.
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 BBCCSD, Highland and Needles. SBCFPD will also be responsible for providing annual waste reports to the applicable public agency.
