2.2 Trash Generating Areas <br />2.2.1 Generation Categories and Designation of Areas <br />The process and methods used to identify the level of trash generation within the City of <br />San Leandro are described in this section and illustrated in Figure 2-1. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Figure 2-1. Development of Trash Generation Areas <br /> As a first step, trash generation rates developed through the BASMAA Trash Generation <br />Rates Project were applied to parcels within the City of San Leandro based on current land uses and 2010 household median incomes. A Draft Trash Generation Map was <br />created as a result of this application. The draft map served as a starting point for the City to identify trash generating levels. Levels of trash generation are depicted on the <br />map using four trash generation rate (gallons/acre/year) categories that are <br />symbolized by four different colors illustrated in Table 2-2. <br /> <br />Table 2-2. Trash generation categories and associated generation rates (gallons/acre/year). <br />Category Very High High Moderate Low <br />Generation Rate <br />(gallons/acre/year) > 50 10-50 5-10 < 5 <br /> <br />The City of San Leandro then reviewed and refined the draft trash generation map to <br />ensure that trash generation categories were correctly assigned to parcels or groups of <br />parcels. City staff refined maps using the following process: <br /> <br />1. Based upon our knowledge of trash generation and problem areas within the <br />City, staff identified areas on the draft map that potentially had incorrect trash <br />generation category designations. <br />2. Trash generation category designations initially assigned to areas identified in <br />step #1 were then assessed and confirmed/refined by the City using the <br />methods listed below. <br /> <br />330
