Weber Ave., Third Floor <br />Stockton, California 95202 <br />SUBJECT- HANDLING OF ELECTRONIC/UNIVERSAL WASTES AT THE <br />FOOTHILL SANITARY LANDFILL <br />Dear Mr. McClellon: <br />This letter memorializes how the County's Foothill Sanitary Landfill will comply with new <br />regulations related to Electronic and Universal Wastes. <br />A132277, effective January 1, 2006, places enhanced requirements on appliance recycling with <br />significant impacts on solid waste facility operations. In order to reduce the potential illegal <br />dumping impacts of this increased regulation, the County's Department of Public Works, Solid <br />Waste Division has elected to continue to accept the following appliances at County owned Solid <br />Waste facilities, includinp- the Foothill Sanitary Landfill (FSL), at no additional charge to the <br />customer — washers/dryers, trash compactors, space heaters, dehumidifiers, water heaters, <br />furnaces, ovens/stoves and dishwashers. Until further notice, there will continue to be a $12.50 <br />fee for appliances containing Freon — such as water dispensers, freezers, air conditioners, and <br />refrigerators and a $15.50 fee for CRT's and televisions. <br />In addition, the County in conjunction with Foothill Inc. has implemented the following new <br />procedures at the FSL: <br />1. Cashiering staff, until further notice, will hand out the attached brochure to customers. In <br />addition, cashiering staff will ask customers about the contents of their load. If the <br />customer indicates their load contains any major appliance or electronic/universal wastes, <br />the customer will be instructed to inform the load checker at the working face. <br />2. Load checking staff at the working face, to the extent that it's safe and practical, will <br />remove major appliances and electronic waste believed to contain materials requiring <br />special handling and place these items in the appliance recycling area; <br />
