The City of San Leandro receives approximately $85,000 annually from Waste Import Mitigation grant funding for the purpose of implementing landfill diversion programs. The City has used this funding to provide no-cost recycling and food recycling to businesses through our hauler, Alameda County Industries. The Alameda County Waste Management Authority has adopted new eligibility criteria for cities to receive future allocations of Import Mitigation funding. As part of these new criteria, the City must formally adopt a goal to divert waste from landfills by 75% by 2010. The City of San Leandro will not receive future Import Mitigation funding if it does not adopt this goal by July 1, 2008. In addition, the City must adopt a Civic Green Building Ordinance by July 1, 2008 and a Civic Bay Friendly Landscaping ordinance by July 1, 2009.
