SUMMARY
This report provides an update on the solid waste, recycling, and organic materials services Waste Management of Alameda County (WMAC) provides Hayward residents and businesses under the City’s contract that commenced March 1, 2015. This report also shows WMAC’s progress toward meeting contractual performance targets, and summarizes the City’s compliance with the Alameda County Waste Management Authority’s (ACWMA) mandatory recycling ordinance. The report provides an overview of outreach activities conducted to inform residents, businesses, and multi-family property managers about the variety of services available under the City’s contract with WMAC. Since the WMAC contract commenced in 2015, the number of subscriptions to recycling and compost services by Hayward residents and businesses have increased each year, and the tonnage of material recycled and composted continues to increase annually.
