The StopWaste Environmentally Preferable Purchasing Policy was enacted to:

Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement for Waste Management, enacted by and between the public agencies of Alameda County in February, 1990.

Amended on 07/30/13.

As part of the Strategic Workplan adopted in July, 2010, the WMA and Recycling Boards directed staff to
convene a Franchise Task Force to examine member agency hauling, disposal, and processing
agreements. The objective is to provide recommendations to member agencies that will enable
Alameda County to reach the highest diversion rate without significant adverse consequences (e.g.,
harm to public health, cost, etc.). This memo contains those recommendations.

Pursuant to the Alameda County Charter ( Measure D ), this plan identifies a comprehensive strategy for reaching the county's waste reduction goals.
