The Public Works Department has updated the Zero Waste Implementation Plan (ZWIP) of 2010.
This effort of updating the plan is now known as the ZWIP Update, and was approved by City Council in July, 2018.
Brief summary: The ZWIP Update assesses Alameda's current disposal data to discover just how close Alameda is to "Zero", and offers 5 ambitious strategies to get us to our goal.
- Support zero waste culture in Alameda
- Conduct targeted technical assistance with commercial and multi-family sectors
- Create a food recovery program and enhance organics management
- Update Alameda's construction and demolition debris (C&D) recycling ordinance and conduct outreach
- Expand high diversion franchise agreement with waste hauler
If you're interested in any of the details, a copy of the final draft can be found here.
