Proposed Refuse Collection
Schedule Changes
City Council Study Session
February 25, 2003
Refuse Division
■ The Refuse Division consists of 31 employees who are
responsible for collecting and transferring residential
refuse throughout the City
■ Refuse is collected from over 27,500 residents weekly
and transported to the City Yard where it is
consolidated and transported to a recycling facility at
Stanton
■ Refuse is collected Monday through Friday as well as
on Saturdays during the summer months (West
Newport Beach and Balboa Island rental properties)
and holiday weeks (entire City)
The Need for A Schedule Change (Continued)
■ By transferring 10 tons of refuse from the Friday
collection routes and distributing this tonnage
throughout the week, refuse crews can continue
operating a lighter Monday collection route and
decrease the additional tonnage on Friday's
route
— This proposal will help eliminate overtime and accumulated
paid leave on Fridays
— The proposal will also provide more uniform tonnage
collection amounts throughout the week
— Probable decrease in workers' injuries due to a more
balanced schedule
— Reduce liability from operating in peak traffic periods
The Need for A Schedule Change
■ The current refuse collection schedule has its
heaviest collection day on Friday
— The Monday collection day is left intentionally light to
facilitate the heavier summer schedule and the Equipment
Maintenance BIT schedule
— The Friday collection day, in the Northeastern part of the
City, is the farthest from the Corporation Yard
— Fridays often result in the refuse crew returning late to the
Corporation Yard due to a heavy schedule and peak traffic
causing overtime pay and accumulated time off

Summary
■ The General Services Department anticipates
a smooth implementation of this schedule
change.
■ If a resident is unsure of their collection day
or places their refuse containers out for
collection on the wrong day, refuse crews will
gladly return to a residence to collect their
refuse during a 30 day transition period
• Proposal requires no official Council approval
nor action; may be authorized by City
Manager
• Proposed change: week of March 17 -21
