| 20260121 | LA County | Los Angeles | City Council | Item | (10) 23-1032 COMMUNICATION FROM THE CHAIR AND MEMBER, ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE, relative to terminating the Removing Barriers to Recycling (RBR) Program component of the RecycLA solid resources franchise hauling contracts. SUBMITS WITHOUT RECOMMENDATION the following recommendations of the City Administrative Officer (CAO): 1. FIND that the City cannot continue funding the RBR Program. 2. INSTRUCT the Bureau of Sanitation (BOS) to: a. Terminate the RBR Program provision of the RecycLA personal services contracts for exclusive franchise commercial and multi-family solid resources collecting and hauling for all 11 zones Citywide, encompassing the following agreements: i. Arakelian Enterprises, Inc. dba Athens Services (C- 128879) ii. Consolidated Disposal Service, LLC dba Republic Services (C-128880) iii. Universal Waste Systems, Inc. (UWS) (C-128881) iv. USA Waste of California, Inc. dba Waste Management (C-128878) v. CalMet Services, Inc. (CalMet) (C-128875) vi. NASA Services, Inc. (NASA) (C-128876) vii. Ware Disposal, Inc. (Ware) (C-128877) b. Provide written notice of termination to the RecycLA service providers with termination of the RBR to occur on January 31, 2027, upon the anticipated expiration date of the current contracts listed above, with notice to occur at least one calendar year prior to the effective termination date. c. Complete all audits of the RBR Program, address any discrepancies including any reimbursements owed to the City, issue liquidated damages as appropriate, and pursue the resolution of outstanding liquidated damages owed by current RecycLA service providers through the RBR payment reconciliation process and other means, as necessary, prior to the termination of the contracts on January 31, 2027. Fiscal Impact Statement: The City Administrative Officer (CAO) reports that adoption of the above recommendations would activate a required one-year notice period for RecycLA service providers to terminate the RBR Program by January 31, 2027 and could mitigate costs to the Citywide Recycling Trust Fund (CRTF) by up to $2.49 million per month should new waste collection contracts not be in place by February 1, 2027, which may then result in an equal amount of savings to the General Fund in reduced subsidies and appropriations required to support CRTF obligations in 2026-27. Adoption of the above recommendation to instruct the BOS to seek any owed reimbursements and resolve outstanding liquidated damages due to the City prior to the expiration of the current RecycLA contracts may result in additional revenue to the CRTF and further reduce its reliance on the General Fund, impacts of which are unknown at this time. Financial Policies Statement: The CAO reports that the above recommendations pursue compliance with the City's Financial Policies in that, to the extent possible, current operations will be funded by current revenues, and that special funds are to reimburse the General Fund for all direct expenditures and related costs provided to support their programs. | January 21, 2026 LA County Los Angeles City Council Item #10 |
