This grant provides free recycling receptacles ranging from 7 to 50 gallons to enhance diversion programs. The City's contracted Edible Food Generator Education and Outreach Specialist collaborates with several businesses to provide tips to reduce food waste and guide them on donating edible food. The City also promotes a Small Business Hazardous Waste Disposal through the LA County Small Quantity Program. þ 1050-SR-GOV Government Source Reduction Programs The City continued its source reduction programs in 2023. þ 2030-RC-OSP Commercial On-Site Pickup All commercial waste generated in the City is taken to either Grand Central Recycling or Pomona Valley Transfer for mixed waste processing. In addition to mixed waste processing, some businesses also implement source-separated recycling programs. The City has issued one Limited Collection Permit (LCP) to Imperial Western Products (IWP), authorizing them to collect food waste from Walmart. In 2023, IWP diverted 57.8 tons of organic material. þ 2060-RC-GOV Government Recycling Programs City recycling programs continued in 2023. þ 3030-CM-CSG Commercial Self-Haul Greenwaste As part of the City's adoption of SB1383 regulations, numerous commercial properties are obligated to engage in private landscapers for hauling green waste materials to composting/mulching facilities. This requirement has been incorporated in the municipal code to ensure compliance. The City may develop monitoring and reporting systems to track commercial landscaper hauling in the future. The franchise commercial hauler does collect source-separated green waste from large generators, primarily the Diamond Bar Golf Course. þ 3035-CM-COR Commercial Organics Recycling In 2023, the City's commercial franchised hauler serviced 266 customers, including 31 multi-family generators. 165 of these customers were enrolled in an organics recycling program, and 73 had obtained waivers. By the end of the year, 26 customers were neither enrolled in the program nor granted a waiver. These customers were primarily new businesses, and the issue was addressed in 2024. Valley Vista’s organics recycling program successfully diverted 279.05 tons of organic material in 2023. All organic material is initially processed either at the Grand Central or Pomona transfer stations with its final destination being Puente Hills MRF. þ 3040-CM-FWC Food Waste Composting Valley Vista's commercial food waste recycling program, which serves 62% of its customers, diverted 274.65 tons of food waste in 2023.

Food waste collection pails are distributed at these workshops and are also available for pick-up at City Hall on an ongoing basis. The City has supported businesses in implementing food waste recycling programs by providing kitchen organics collection containers. The City also continues to offer composting and vermicomposting workshops through LA County’s educational contractors. These workshops provide valuable information and offer backyard composting and vermicomposting bins at discounted rates.

The City and two franchise haulers continue to promote the online exchange website Freecycle.com, this site allows residents to offer free items to the public instead of landfilling.

Additionally, the city's haulers have information on their websites, email out informational notices to customers, and provide information on their social media platforms. þ 5010-ED-PRN Print (brochures, flyers, guides, news articles) The City uses various print media to communicate with residents effectively. The monthly Diamond Bar newsletter is mailed to all residents and businesses, providing essential updates and information. Additionally, advertisements are placed in local newspapers to reach a broader audience. The City also distributes informational flyers at all community events, ensuring residents stay informed about local initiatives. Quarterly billing inserts, distributed through both franchised haulers, have proven highly effective in promoting available programs as part of the weekly services. Furthermore, waste haulers include comprehensive information on all environmental programs in the welcome packets mailed to new residents, helping them integrate seamlessly into the community's sustainability efforts. SRRE Programs Page 26 of 67 þ 5020-ED-OUT Outreach (tech assistance, presentations, awards, fairs, field trips) In 2022, the City celebrated Earth Day with a series of engaging activities and educational opportunities. The event featured several environmental organizations, including both waste haulers, who provided information on environmental incentives and solid waste and recycling regulations. Attendees could participate in a compost and vermicompost workshop, receive compost containers and pick up free mulch, and enjoy an appearance from the City's mascot, "Rocky" the recycling raccoon. The City continued its partnership with Discovery Cube to conduct recycling and compost education programs in schools and at the Earth Day event. Throughout the year, waste haulers performed waste audits using their SMART truck technology and other methods. They followed up with generators for in-person meetings as needed to educate them on correct sorting and disposal practices. þ 5030-ED-SCH Schools (education and curriculum) The City continues to collaborate with Discovery Cube to provide an educational program targeting schools within the city. The program, called Eco Challenge, includes a comprehensive presentation at school sites covering various environmental topics such as waste reduction, composting, proper sorting techniques, beverage container recycling, and the identification and proper disposal of household hazardous waste. Following the presentation, students participate in a field trip to the Discovery Cube in Santa Ana and are provided take-home resources to reinforce the content and share it with family members. The program is specifically designed for 5th and 6th-grade students, with a target of reaching approximately 1,000 students annually. It is offered to all 11 schools within the Walnut Valley and Pomona Unified School Districts. This initiative represents a significant educational outreach effort. Additionally, the City continues to offer a school recycling bin grant, providing schools with up to five bins for beverage container recycling. This grant aims to support and enhance recycling efforts within the schools. þ 9040-HH-EDP Education Programs The City actively promotes all city and local hazardous waste programs through a wide variety of outlets on an ongoing basis.

Educational efforts are reinforced through the City's media outlets, including the EnviroLink monthly electronic newsletter, the monthly city newsletter, the City website, DBTV Channel, and social media platforms. Each of the City's waste haulers maintains a Diamond Bar-specific website that highlights available programs and provides instructions for participation. In 2023, the used motor oil recycling program was extensively promoted through magazine ads, EnviroLink articles, the City website, and social media. Used motor oil recycling kits, which include a drain container, funnel, filter bags, and shop towels, were distributed to interested DIYers during several community events and from City Hall. The City also supports Los Angeles County's annual Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) roundup events in Diamond Bar through various promotional outlets. Additionally, the City advertises both waste hauler HHW curbside collection programs through several channels, including the Environmental Services hotline.
