R6
Municipalities need to solve their unauthorized waste bin problems by enacting city ordinances forbidding these practices, imposing fines, including stepped-up fines for additional violations, and impounding unauthorized bins. A Response on Recommendation R-1 is required from the Orange County Board of Supervisors. Responses on Recommendations R-1 through R-5 are requested from the IWMD. A Response on Recommendation R-6 is required from all 34 Orange County City 10 Councils. REQUIRED RESPONSES: ...
Response: Will Not Implement
Score: -1
Since the City of Costa Mesa does not have a single franchised hauler, a bin confiscation program would be more difficult to establish and monitor so we are not proposing to implement a bin confiscation program at this time.

The presence of non-franchise haulers and so-called “Ghost Haulers” bins, in cities which bypass the recycling system, needs to be corrected in order to establish the waste haulers’ confidence that their municipalities are looking out for their best interests. A Response to Finding F-1 is required from the Orange County Board of Supervisors. Responses to Findings F-1 through F-5 are requested from the IWMD.

Response: Disagree Partially
Score: 0
The City partially disagrees with the finding. The presence of non-franchise haulers and "Ghost Hauler" bins are but one avenue of bypassing the recycling system. The City of Villa Park enacted Ordinance number 2003-499, codifying Article 5-14 of the Villa Park Municipal Code titled "Unauthorized Containers - Notice of Violation" providing the City the necessary enforcement action to remedy non-franchised bins. The City of Villa Park also issued a blanket 24 hour notice to all non-franchise waste haulers informing them that any bin placed in the City will be automatically impounded per the Art...

The recommendation has been implemented. The City of Villa Park adopted Ordinance 2003-499 on January 27, 2004 providing the City an enforcement mechanism to impound unauthorized waste bins and impose fines. (Ordinance attached) Based on the City's review of County Integrated Waste Management Department records and known practices of collecting waste and recycling within the City of Villa Park, it is our contention that the issue of "Ghost Tonnage," in which a non-franchise hauler fraudulently allocates waste across cities, is the major issue facing the diversion goals of AB 939 and therefore ...

The Grand Jury recommendation has been implemented. The City of San Juan Capistrano does not tolerate unauthorized waste bins in the community, and has worked very closely with CR&R staff to keep tight control over bins in the city. The City has adopted an ordinance forbidding these practices and provided staff with ways to deal with the problem. The City's ordinance has been a model for several neighboring cities dealing with the same problem. San Juan Capistrano Municipal Code Sec. 6-3.14. Enforcement--Authority. (a) The City Manager and/or his or her designee shall have the authority to enf...
