Residential Food Waste Program:
SaniPac is prepared to start collecting food waste in yard debris cans and is requesting approval
from the Council to begin service effective 7/1/22. Included within this packet is a presentation
from SaniPac summarizing the program along with the educational efforts they would undertake
prior to program roll-out.
According to the EPA, 42.8 million pounds of food waste end up in the landfill which causes
increased methane emissions. Municipalities across the region are working with their waste
haulers to adapt their yard debris collection to include residential food waste.
Several years ago, SaniPac kicked off a pilot food waste collection program in Eugene which
was a great success and quickly became an option for all residents. SaniPac and Springfield Staff
have received several requests for a similar program in Springfield. Last year, SaniPac reached
agreement with Lane Forest Products that they could start collecting food waste with residential
yard debris and have it all processed by Lane Forest Products.
SaniPac has estimated that this program will require residents to pay an additional $0.62. If the
Council is aggregable to SaniPac moving forward with this program, this fee will appear in the
Proposed FY23 Master Fees and Charges Schedule later this year.
The program will follow regional partners and allow Springfield Citizens to recycle fruits,
vegetables, meat, bones, eggshells, and other food products. SaniPac understands the importance
of education and will spend two months reaching out to citizens across Springfield about the
upcoming changes and the rules.

MEMORANDUM
Annual Rate Adjustment:
Page 2
Under section 16.1 of the City's Franchise Ordinance, SaniPac can request rate adjustments
prior to June 30t1i of each year. This section states several factors that may be used to determine
the rate, including, but not limited to:
Rates charged by other cities
January Consumer Price Index, CPI -U, for Portland, OR
Rates required by Lane County
SaniPac is requesting a 5% CPI adjustment. This includes a 3.5% tipping fee increase from Lane
County at the landfill and an adjustment by SaniPac for increases in their operating costs. While
looking at their estimated costs for FY23, SaniPac calculated approxiamately a 9% overall
increase in operating costs primarily driven by the high costs of gasoline and steel, the two
major costs for SaniPac. However, after hearing from staff on Council direction around other
CPI increases, SaniPac has lowered their request to 5% and feel they can adequately support
their operations in the coming year with this rate adjustment. In the most commonly used 35
gallon residential container, this would result in a $0.97 increase in the monthly rate from $19.40
to $20.37.
If approved, these changes to the solid waste section of the Master Fees & Charges Schedule
will take effect July 1, 2022.
The public hearing and Council adoption of any changes to solid waste rates discussed tonight
will happen during regular session on May 23, 2022.
The last adjustment was authorized on July 1, 2021 and resulted in a 2.1% increase in disposal
rates or about a $0.40 per month.
SaniPac staff will be present at the work session to discuss their request.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Before implementing the new food waste program and bringing forward a final fee update on
May 23, staff would like Council's guidance on the proposed programmatic and financial
changes SaniPac is requesting.

Benefits of keeping food out of
the landfill
• In a landfill, food decomposes and creates methane,
which, when released in the atmosphere, worsens
climate change. Methane is 25 times as potent as
carbon dioxide at trapping heat in the atmosphere, so
achieving significant reductions in methane emissions is
critical for meeting our climate goals.
• Additionally, when we send food and yard waste to the
landfill, we're wasting a valuable resource that can be
put to better use creating energy, compost, and other
products that benefit our environment and economy.

• On average, Oregon households throw away 6.3 pounds
wasted food per household per week or 2.3 pounds per
capita, as reported in a diary tracking activity. D Of that,
4.9 pounds of wasted food per household per week (or 1.9
pounds per person per week) goes to trash and curbside
compost. The remainder goes to disposal pathways that
are not normally counted in Oregon, including in -sink
disposal, home composting, and as pet food.

Composters

Why We Don't Want D rnpostable Packaging and Serviceware
Every year; the Pacific Northwest -s compost industry turns hundreds of thousands of tons of yard and food wastes
into nutrient -rich compost for agriculture, nurseries; Ian dscaping businesses and home gardens -The quality
compost products that we create develop healthier and more resilient soil, reduce greenhouse gas emissions,
recycle nutrients, conserve water, and may reduce the use of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides-
`compostable" packaging and serviceware items have been an the rise for the past decade and they are
increasingly ending up in our facilities. These materials compromise our composting programs and limit many of the
OnVirn-lMF rnInI hJ%Pnafitar of ciIr'.r.A-tCAII r.r,mnn0ing
Whey don't a[ways compost: Not all 'certified' corn postable Stems will actually compost (break down) as fully or
quickly as we need them to- This is because certification standards test com posta bi I ity based on laboratory condi#ions. nt "Compostable" packaging or serviiceware delivered
Those conditions are not always replrcated iii the real wand (our facilities) which means that some "compostable'
Items don't fully compost- The result is a finished compost that rs contaminated with bits of partially degraded
"compostable" material.
Contamination happens: As a consumer- you mar sort properly — but your neighbor might not. when collection
2 programs accept compostable products, non-compostable look-alike items inevitably end up in the mix. These
materials then -must be removed. either at the start (whan we receive there) or at the end (as pieces of garbage mixed
in with finished compost)- Either way, this contamination Increases our opefatfng costs and degrades the quality of our
product. which makes the compost industry less economically viable.

Whey hurt resale quality: W don't want to produce finished compost that is contaminated with fragments of
packaging and servicewafe, and our consumers wont purctlase contaminated material. Contamination lowers the
value of our pfoduct, making it difficult and sometimes impossible to sel:L Whan fewer people use compost. its
environmental benefits aren't feafized.

• Introduced "Keep Springfield Beautiful" truck with community engagement contest.
We are thankful to have the opportunity to give back to the community we have been blessed to serve for many
years and look forward to continue to serve the citizens of Springfield.
In our multiple years of providing service we have worked diligently to find operational efficiencies which have
enabled us to provide affordable rates to our customers, however there are certain unavoidable costs which
ultimately affect the rate structure we would like to discuss with you. These costs include the approved Lane
County Landfill trash disposal fee increase, the effect of the CPI on doing business, and continued volatility of
fuel, and steel. We also strive to provide our driver's with a living wage to provide for their families, with
annual rate adjustments to keep up with cost of living increases. Additionally, for one of our donations to the
City of Springfield (the hauling and disposal of street sweeping waste), changes in locations that will accept this
material have caused the cost to Sanipac to increase over $75,000 annually.
In spite of our operational headwinds, we are sensitive to local economic conditions. In 2020 we did not request
a rate adjustment from the City due to the impacts of Covid-19 on Springfield residents. In 2021 we requested a
2.1% increase.
Attachment 3, Page 1 of 3
In April of this year Lane County Board of Commissioners approved a 3.4% increase to the disposal fees per ton
at Short Mountain Landfill, with a July 1St implementation date. Sanipac's largest operational expense is waste
disposal, and as such the impact of a landfill increase can be significant.
Like other businesses, we have been affected by the unprecedented rise in CPI in 2021/2022. As of today, the
US Western B/C CPI year over year (March 2021 to March 2022) stands at 9.0%.
Being a waste and recycling hauler, our business model also has burdened us with uniquely outsized costs.
Apart from disposal, Sanipac's largest costs include fuel and labor. The cost impacts of these categories have
outpaced the overall CPI and in the past year, increasing by approximately 63% and 14% respectively.
We understand the impact of rising utility costs for Springfield residents, and appreciated the Council's "5%"
guidance to staff to work to shield residents from the dramatically rising inflationary costs. As such we are
proposing an overall rate adjustment of 5% on the current rate structure, effective July 1St, 2022.
The impact of the 5.0% overall rate adjustment for the most common residential service (35 gallon trash cart
picked up once per week) would equal $0.97 per month, going from $19.40/month to $20.37/month. A full
adjusted rate schedule is attached.
We are also excited to introduce food waste into the Springfield curbside yard debris collection. With this
program all food can be put into the yard debris cart, including meat, bones, poultry, seafood, dairy, eggshells,
beans, bread, pasta, rice and other grains, fruits and vegetables, coffee grounds, and other plate scrapings. If you
can eat it, you can put it in the bin. Residents do not have to put food waste in their yard debris if they do not
want to, and the yard debris service is subscription based and non -mandatory. However, should the Council
allow this option, our processor will increase the disposal fees on all yard debris received (for the additional
food waste processing). The increase on yard debris if approved would be $0.62/month for each yard debris
subscribing customer, which is approximately 40% of Springfield homes. With the 5% CPI increase, the new
yard debris rate without food waste included (the current program) would be $6.43/month. With food included
that rate would be $7.05/month.
We look forward to walking through this request with council and answering any questions. We also look
forward to providing council with a tour of our facilities as well as a tour of EcoSort, our construction and
demolition materials recycling facility, at your convenience. Thank you in advance for your time and please let
us know if you need any additional information.
