Highway 59 Merced, CA 95348 ITEM 4a DATE: June 3, 2021 TO: Technical Review Board FROM: Marty Yerrick, Deputy Director RE: Information: Merced County Regional Waste Management Authority monthly update SUMMARY The following is an update on the Merced County Regional Waste Management Authority operations and activities for May 2021. REQUESTED ACTION For information only. BACKGROUND Historically, these reports were oral updates provided monthly to the Technical Review Board and the Governing Board. However, in an effort to maximize meeting time while also maintaining the agency’s commitment to transparency and information sharing, these reports are now provided in writing as part of the monthly agenda process. Staff is available to discuss this information or answer questions that may arise. UPDATES The following is provided to the Technical Review Board and Merced County Regional Waste Management Authority (RWA) Board, as informational items for the month of May 2021: Battery and Portable Electronics Drop-Off The following is information on how to provide battery and portable electronics drop-off locations within your communities with the Big Green Box: With the Big Green Box, it is no longer necessary to pay large fees to waste management companies, fill out complicated paperwork, or look tirelessly around your city or county for a responsible drop-off location. Thanks to the Big Green Box, it is now easy to do the right thing with your used batteries and portable electronics. Once purchased, the Big Green Box will be shipped to your agency, home, office, or business, completely assembled and ready to be set in any location of your choosing. As batteries and other 008 electronic devices are used up, simply place the individual items in a separate bag OR cover the terminals with clear packing tape and place them inside the Box (the bags/tape prevent unintentional discharges or short circuits). Once your Big Green Box is ready to be shipped, simply call 1-800-Go- FedEx to schedule a pick-up, free of charge, or give the box to any FedEx ground driver that stops by your agency, home, office, or business. Please contact the Big Green Box by calling: (877) 461-2345 or email the Big Green Box at: [email protected] for more information. Billy Wright Entrance Improvement Project: Taylor Backhoe Services (TBS) Contractors have begun work on the two resource recovery pads at the Billy Wright Landfill, shown to the right. The new pads must be built prior to July 1, 2021. The Authority anticipates some delays during construction activities and equipment transfer to the site and has allowed for an alternative drive approach for TBS to enter away from the public scales. The specifications require that one scale always be operational during the entire length of the project. Ascent Environmental is also processing an Addendum to the 2006 Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Billy Wright landfill organics processing area.
