  1. Napa’s Innovative Diversion Based Contract: An Update Presented by: Tim Dewey-Mattia Napa Recycling & Waste Services Sara Gallegos City of Napa

  2. October 1, 2005 – City and NRWS enter into 10-year diversion based contract • City owns MDF, NRWS provides collection services and operates the facility • City collects rate $, pays disposal at transfer station ($60/ton) • Share of material sales revenue: 70% City/30% NRWS

  3. MDF Flow and Weight Points

  4. Compensation for Contractor (NRWS) Components of Compensation: Operating and Capital Cost Payments (Based on 2004 RFP proposals + CPI/PPI) Base Profit Margin (automatic 3%) Annual Diversion Incentive Payment (or Debit) – Incentives above 50%, Debit below 50% Share of Material Sales Revenue – 70% City/30% Contractor (NRWS) Processing Fee for Throughput Over Baseline (processing above 80,550 tons/year)

  5. Successes • Close partnership on all levels • Increased diversion, new programs • Increased processing totals at facility • Increased revenue from material sales

  6. State leaders in e-waste recycling • Most per capita – 1.1 million pounds in 2007 • Over 100 tons e-waste & appliances at Jun 08 event – REUSE included

  7. Sample of “Partnership” and Innovation – Color Glass Sorters

  8. Challenges • Diversion incentive has floundered • Revenue split leads to marketing challenges • City = “new garbage company” • Funding issues with new programs

  9. Lessons • Brings jurisdiction and contractor together as diversion team • It’s good business to recycle • Limitations – City’s inability to fund new programs because of added costs • With Zero Waste, may need to come up with new rate structure

  10. Solutions • Local will: Zero Waste Ordinance • Action on State level: • Fix regulatory hurdles for composting permitting, take away subsidies for landfilling • increase diversion requirements to 75% • Recognize recycling/composting’s powerful place in the fight against climate change
