City of San Leandro Solid Waste Post Collection Services 2 DSTS features state-of-the-art transfer and recycling facilities and provides municipal solid waste (MSW) services and solutions for San Leandro and other Alameda County Cities. • Materials accepted include recycling, garbage, green waste, construction and demolition, mattresses, carpet, tires, electronic waste, appliances, and used oil. The transfer station is permitted to receive 5,761 vehicles and 5,600 tons of materials per day. • The transfer station’s hours of operation are Monday through Friday 4:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. and Saturdays 5:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., except holidays. The facility currently employs a workforce of about 280 full-time transfer drivers, sorters, technicians, heavy equipment operators and administrative staff. • The transfer station construction and demolition (C&D) recycling facility is Alameda County’s leading construction and demolition debris recycling complex. It was the first accredited certified mixed C&D debris recycling facility in Alameda County and its diversion rates are certified every quarter by the Recycling Certification Institute. The facility recovers clean lumber, metal, concrete, cardboard, paper, and more for recycling. Our diversion rates are recognized by the U.S. Green Building Council LEED rating system and by the counties of San Francisco, Alameda, and Contra Costa. • The Organics Material Recovery Facility (OMRF) and the Organic Materials Compost Facility (OMCF) can process up to 300,000 tons of municipal solid waste a year extracting important organic and recyclable materials. Currently, the facilities are processing almost 150,000 tons of MSW and eliminating 14,459 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions each year by capturing about 56,000 tons of organic material. This results in an additional greenhouse gas savings as it eliminates about 776 transfer truck trips to the landfill. • In 2011, WM constructed the first LEED Gold industrial building in San Leandro. The Organics Transfer Building collects yard trimmings and commercial and residential food scraps for composting. • DSTS is continuing its sustainability efforts by installing solar panels on the roof of its Administration building, OMRF, OMCF, and other buildings. This sustainability initiative also positively impacts the environment by reducing reliance on the grid or other sources of energy. The site’s solar panels generate 1,242,324 kWH/year. • Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) powers 52 WM trucks that transport materials from the transfer station to the landfill and to other destinations. CNG is derived from the landfill gas produced at the Altamont Landfill from waste collected in Alameda County. CNG powered vehicles have a direct, positive impact on Alameda County’s air quality and environment. • DSTS houses a Landscape Center that sells our own WM EarthCare™ OMRI certified product line of compost and mulch. • The facility houses an award-winning Education Center where students from throughout Alameda County can get a first-hand look at why waste diversion matters. Through WMAC’s long-standing agreement with StopWaste, which works with students, teachers, and school district staff across Alameda County to become leaders in waste prevention and proper recycling and composting in their schools, homes, and community. In a typical year, StopWaste uses the Education Center for 160+ classes/tours, which translates to a great learning opportunity for approximately 4,500 students.
