City of San Leandro <br />Solid Waste Post Collection Services <br />3 <br />• DSTS staff conduct dozens of tours to community and business leaders from all over the country <br />and sometimes beyond. From San Leandro leadership to visitors from Japan and Mexico, an <br />introduction and tour of DSTS never fails to impress. <br /> <br />Making San Leandro More Sustainable, For Tomorrow® <br />WM is investing $1B in capital to automate our recycling infrastructure. This investment is targeted to <br />improve material quality and increase capacity. <br />Part of this investment is scheduled to break ground this year to make DSTS a Recycling Facility of <br />the Future through optimization and adoption of the best technology available. <br />Optimization for DSTS is creating a highly differentiated recycling infrastructure unparalleled in the <br />industry: <br />• Benefits for Employees – safer work environment, opportunities from an upskilling and career <br />pathing standpoint to continue to grow in the recycling business or look for opportunities in <br />other parts of WM. <br />• Benefits for Managers – more time to focus on plant operations vs. staffing concerns, more <br />time for individual conversations with employees and training. <br />• Benefits for Customers – more recycled material, higher quality material, and recovering <br />commodities not traditionally recycled. <br /> <br />Altamont Landfill and Resource Recovery Facility <br />Altamont Landfill and Resource Recovery Facility is a regional facility that provides safe and <br />convenient disposal services for communities, businesses and industries serving Alameda County <br />and surrounding cities. <br />This facility is engineered with environmental protection systems that meet or exceed rigorous <br />government regulations and are subject to highly regulated monitoring and reporting requirements. <br />Systems include engineered liners and covers, leachate collection and removal, and landfill gas <br />collection and control. <br />Altamont Landfill and Resource Recovery Facility is recognized for its sustainable practices and <br />leadership in landfill management. <br />Containment Design <br />The current fill area for the landfill (Fill Area 1) consists of an older Class III WM unit with a low- <br />permeability soil liner and leachate collection system (Unit 1), and a Class II unit with a composite <br />liner and leachate collection system. Fill Area 2 is a 250-acre unit that utilizes a composite liner and <br />leachate collection system. <br />Leachate Collection and Treatment <br />The leachate management system for Altamont is designed to detect and collect any leachate <br />generated in the landfill. Collected leachate is pumped to an onsite wastewater storage facility for <br />later use as dust control within the newer cell of the landfill. <br />Docusign Envelope ID: C78C62DE-8589-496F-8F5A-DEC38EE5853C
