The District made a $3.5 million retrofit to its Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) in summer 2020 to improve diversion and increase revenue of recycled materials. Even with increased contamination in the recycling stream during the pandemic (from 20% to 30% year-over-year), the MRF has increased its diversion by one percent (1%). The MRF is also on track to increase revenue $1.1 million/year.
Bulk Handling Systems (BHS), the system designer and manufacturer, installed three pieces of equipment: (1) a cardboard separation screen, (2) an optical sorter to recover bottles and cans from residue line, and (3) a fiber optical sorting system that separates smaller brown-grade cardboard (like cereal boxes) from newspaper and junk mail.
The District anticipates the payback on the capital is about three years, while the upgrades will last at least ten years. The increase in revenue is achieved by lowering facility operational costs, improving the quality and marketability of recyclables, and recovering more recyclables like California Redemption Value (CRV) bottle and cans. This investment ultimately benefits rate payers and allows for future investments in technology that furthers efficiency and diversion, including robotics and other artificial intelligence systems.
You can read more about the report out on the Residential Single Stream Fiber and Residual Recovery Retrofit in the February 2021 board packet.
Here is a video of the fiber (aka paper) optical sorting system. On the left you can see the newly separated brown-grade cardboard, which has a higher market value and makes the paper bale quality higher.

Monterey Regional Waste Management District (MRWMD) will no longer able to accept any amount of treated wood waste (TWW) starting January 1st due to a change in state regulations overseen by the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC). DTSC defines TWW as wood treated with chemical preservatives to prevent wood rot and decay from weathering, insects, and fungus. Examples of TWW include treated decking, fence posts, pilings, landscaping timber, sill plates, and guardrails.TWW is considered hazardous waste and is accepted only at Class I Hazardous Waste Landfills that manage the most toxic materials. As a Class III Non-Hazardous Municipal Solid Waste Landfill that manages the least toxic materials, MRWMD will reject all loads containing TWW. Any loads found containing TWW will be subject to return to the customer, penalties, and potential criminal violations of illegal disposal of hazardous materials by a regulatory agency.
There are two TWW disposal options moving forward: (1) Arrangements can be made for pick-up by a certified hazardous waste contractor known by CalRecycle or (2) TWW can be taken directly to Class I Hazardous Waste Landfills.
Where is the closest Class I Landfill?
Clean Harbors Buttonwillow
2500 W Lokern Rd,
Buttonwillow, CA 93206

Why is TWW Toxic?
According to the DTSC, TWW contains hazardous chemicals that pose a risk to human health and the environment. Arsenic, chromium, copper, creosote, and pentachlorophenol are among the chemicals used to preserve wood and are known to be toxic or carcinogenic. Harmful exposure to these chemicals may result from touching, inhaling or ingesting TWW particulate (e.g., leaching liquids, sawdust and smoke).
Why can’t I take TWW to MRWMD anymore?
The statute (HSC 25150.7) and regulations (22 CCR 67386.1 et seq.) that allowed TWW to be accepted at MRWMD due to alternative management standards are due to expire after December 31, 2020. Starting January 1st, 2021, all TWW managed in California will have to be stored and manifested as hazardous waste and transported to Class I hazardous waste landfills for disposal. For more information, visit DTSC’s TWW information page.

The Last Chance Mercantile (LCM) closed in March in response to COVID-19. Due to budgetary and safety constraints, LCM has remained closed and store employees were laid-off, while the District reassesses the best path forward. You can read the full press release explaining the economic necessity of the closure.
At the October 23rd meeting, Director of Communications Zoe Shoats provided the Board of Directors a verbal update on the LCM reopening plan. Members of the public were given an opportunity to provide comments, which they can do at every Board Meeting. Scheduled meetings, future agendas and past meetings can be found on the Governance page.
On October 8, the LCM task force met with former LCM employees for a second time. The LCM task force includes Tim Brownell, Director of Operations, Peter Skinner, Director of Finance and Administration, and Zoe Shoats, Director of Communications. At the meeting, the task force heard details from staff about their proposal to operate the store, including suggestions for increasing revenue and reducing operating costs.
The task force appreciated the research and thought that went into their proposal. Moving forward, the task force will be creating a District-operated store model based on many of their recommendations. The task force plans to share the draft model with the former staff for their input and recommendations.
Simultaneously, the task force has been working on securing interest from potential third-party operators. On Wednesday, October 21, the District released a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for the operation of the LCM store. The RFQ was sent directly to local organizations whom District staff identified could be a good fit.
The RFQ was also posted on the MRWMD homepage under the bulletin board section, as well as industry message boards on the Solid Waste Association of North America (SWANA) and Northern California Recycling Association (NCRA) websites. Responses to the RFQ are due by November 30 at 1 p.m. Staff will evaluate all responses to the RFQ, finish analysis of a staff-run District-operated model, and bring all options to the Board for consideration at the January meeting.
District staff appreciates the public’s continued support of the Last Chance Mercantile. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to reopening as soon as it is possible.
To publicly comment, you can attend virtual Board Meetings. For questions related to the RFQ, please contact lcmrfq@mrwmd.org.
The District is accepting Requests for Qualifications (RFQ) for the operation of the Last Chance Mercantile in partnership with the Monterey Regional Waste Management District. Should your organization be interested in submitting a response to this RFQ, please do so no later than 1 p.m. on Monday, November 30. The RFQ can be found here.
If desired, staff at the Monterey Regional Waste Management District will make themselves available to answer any questions you may have to assist in the formation of your response. We also welcome any requests for tours of the facility.
Per the RFQ, please direct all future correspondence related to this RFQ to lcmrfq@mrwmd.org.

Before you bring fire debris to the District, you must go through the correct process.

You can find resources for 2020 Fire Recovery on the Monterey County Office of Emergency Services website or Santa Cruz County Fire Recovery Environmental Health Resources website.
The EPA has also established a hotline for communities impacted by the Carmel, River, and Dolan Fires. If you have questions about Phase 1 of Debris Removal or questions about the status of your property, you can contact the EPA at (415) 793-8794.
You can read the District’s complete Fire Waste Screening and Acceptance Procedure that outlines the steps you must take.
