Why Collection Day Route Changes Are Necessary
w Effective February 1, 2022, CR&R will be implementing revised collection
day routes to provide collection service to residents in a more efficient
and less disruptive manner
Re -Routing needed in order to service expanded recycling programs (3 -
Cart System) to comply with state law requirements & balance loads
w The re-route is intended to:
— Balance out loads to ensure all daily routes can be collected on time
— Increase Safety by reducing the daily number of miles traveled by
collection trucks and reducing left turns
— Reduce the total number of daily truck routes
— Further avoid high traffic and congested areas
— Reduces noise, traffic, and emissions for residents and businesses
w Many residents will have their collection day adjusted as a result of this
re-route •••• 14
What to Expect in Next Few Months

Resolution to change street sweeping days to better a line
with necessary refuse route changes (Nov 30th)
Bring forward a new Residential Refuse Hauler Contract that
incorporates these necessary modifications for City Council
approval (Jan 2022)
SB 1383 program rollout — including the implementation of
