To: From: Zero Waste Advisory Commission Ken Snipes Director Austin Resource Recovery Date: October 14th, 2020 Subject: Director’s Monthly Report to the Zero Waste Advisory Commission Clean Creeks Program Austin Resource Recovery and the Watershed Protection Department have begun working together to develop the newly established Clean Creeks Program. ARR will be hiring eight dedicated full-time employees that will focus on general litter abatement in creeks. Watershed Protection will provide ARR with priority cleaning areas based on customer complaints and known high-litter areas around drainage culverts. Watershed’s contractor will continue to clean encampments located in creeks. Homeless Encampment Cleanings FY 21 To address the timely clean-ups of encampments, Austin Resource Recovery is creating a dedicated crew to provide daily collection at the 28 Violet Bag sites. ARR is also planning an expansion of the Violet Bag program and plans to closely mirror the number of sites that Public Works maintains each month (approximately 60 sites). Public Works will continue to provide monthly cleanings to approximately 60 encampment sites. Also, ARR and Public Work are partnering to develop a self-cleaning pilot at two encampment sites that will encourage residents to clean the area and place unwanted items in a dumpster. Starting in October, the three-month pilot will be conducted at the Highway 71/Packsaddle Pass and Highway 183/Cameron Road sites. The pilot will be evaluated to determine overall success and the information reported to City Council. Recycle and ReUse Drop-Off Center As the positive cases are declining and Austin-Travis County has moved to Stage 3 of COVID-19 risk-based guidelines, ARR has re-opened the Recycle and ReUse Drop-Off Center for appointment only services. RRDOC staff continued to perform home pick-up services of household hazardous waste for the customers already scheduled through September. The appointment drop-offs at the RRDOC began Tuesday, September 8th, and continued Monday through Friday throughout the month. The RRDOC appointment program expanded to include Saturdays starting October 3rd, 2020. The current 6 days per week schedule will continue until further changes in the COVID-19 guidelines. Customers will be required to wear a mask and will be asked to keep social distancing in mind while dropping off their items. Resumption of Brush and Bulk Collections Beginning the week of October 12th, brush collection routes will resume, and bulk collection will resume the week of October 26th. Customers will receive postcards in the mail informing them of their scheduled collection date. Back in March, Austin Resource Recovery decided to suspend bulk and brush collections to focus resources on essential weekly collection services. Resumption of Extra Trash Fees “Extra” trash fees was reinstated on September 7th, 2020. ARR waived fees effective March 27th through September 7th, 2020, in response to the COA Stay at Home Order and COVID-19. An estimate of Revenue foregone during this time was over $64,000(based on last year’s numbers). Fix-It At Home Series To continue to provide repair education while in-person Fix-It Clinics are suspended, the Circular Economy Program hosted Fix-It At Home!, a free on-line series of interactive workshops teaching basic repair skills taught by paid local instructors this summer. We hosted 20 classes on topics such as sewing repairs by hand, sewing machine basics, bicycle maintenance and guitar adjustments, including 2 Spanish-language classes. Nearly 300 people attended the series, and over 800 registered and received a link to view the recording. The series was well-received, with 90% of post-event survey respondents rating their overall satisfaction as an 8, 9 or 10. (on scale of 1-10). The program will make videos from the workshops available on-line for ongoing repair education.

The first such study was published in 2015 and is titled Austin’s 2015 Community Diversion Study. The study focused on estimating diversion from both ARR-serviced properties and commercial properties. Commercial properties include retail businesses, food service establishments, professional offices, industrial properties, institutional facilities, government facilities, and multifamily properties five units and larger. According to Austin's 2015 Community Diversion Study, Residential Waste Diversion Rate (city serviced accounts) represents approximately 15% and the Community Diversion Rate (accounts serviced by private waste haulers) represents approximately 85% of the total citywide wastage.

This amount includes $1.5M for new positions: ten Operators, one Inventory Control Specialist, and the addition of eight positions to form a Clean Creeks Program. Major Citywide cost drivers add over $1.1M* to the budget, while major department-wide cost drivers are reduced by almost $1.2M. ARR’s approved budget includes funding for increased temporary employees, additional office space, and increased Fleet fuel and maintenance expenses, along with other smaller increases. Major reductions to the ARR budget include a significant decrease in debt service payments due to repaid debt, a decrease in capital appropriations due to one-time Capital Fund transfers within the Clean Community Fee budget amendment, and a significant reduction in funding for the Department’s Master Plan as it nears completion. * Dollar figures may not align as only major changes (greater than $100k) are summarized.

Upcoming classes can be found at http://austintexas.gov/fixit 2020 Service Day Change Austin Resource Recovery has initiated a curbside collection day change for 9,413 customers (4.5%) beginning the week of September 21. This modification aims to rebalance routes and maximize route efficiencies by making fewer trips to the landfill and processing facilities, reducing wear and tear on collections vehicles, shortening excessively long workdays for operations staff and ultimately providing better customer service. Customers affected by the change have already been notified with a letter and email, but the department is also notifying customers via a reminder postcard, hand-delivered cart tags, a press release, and with alerts to Austin Recycles App and MySchedule subscribers.

The first such study was published in 2015 and is titled Austin’s 2015 Community Diversion Study. The study focused on estimating diversion from both ARR-serviced properties and commercial properties. Commercial properties include retail businesses, food service establishments, professional offices, industrial properties, institutional facilities, government facilities, and multifamily properties five units and larger. According to Austin's 2015 Community Diversion Study, Residential Waste Diversion Rate (city serviced accounts) represents approximately 15% and the Community Diversion Rate (accounts serviced by private waste haulers) represents approximately 85% of the total citywide wastage.
