Waste Reduction
Program
In addition to the commercial recycling and organics programs provided by its commercial hauler, Valley Vista Services
(VVS), the City offers businesses a Recycling Bin Grant. This grant provides free recycling receptacles ranging from 7 to
50 gallons to support waste diversion efforts. The City's contracted Edible Food Generator Education and Outreach
Specialist works with local businesses to share tips on reducing food waste and to guide them in donating edible food.
The City also promotes small business hazardous waste disposal through the LA County Small Quantity Generator
Program. Valley Vista Services conducted a survey to identify other waste reduction and diversion activities businesses
are participating in, with the goal of improving overall waste diversion citywide.
þ 1050-SR-GOV
Government Source

The City held several record destruction days throughout the year as it transitions to an electronic records system. All
old records were shredded and recycled. This effort is in addition to the ongoing shredding program at City Hall, which
is serviced on a monthly basis.
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 2024, IWP diverted 23.17 tons of organic material.
þ 2060-RC-GOV
Government Recycling
Programs
The City participates in recycling and organics recycling at City Hall, its community/event center and its park facilities. All
shredding program vendors recycle material after. All green waste from parks and other public landscapes are recycled
and composted to the highest extent possible either through its franchised commercial hauler Valley Vista Service or
contractor West Coast Arborists. The City schedules universal/ hazardous waste pick up for batteries, lightbulbs,
electronic waste, and expired chemicals accumulated throughout the year from its facilities. The City donates or sells
unused furniture and equipment through an exchange vendor. The City provides recycling services (paper shredding, e-
waste recycling, and textile recycling) to the community at a variety events and funds disposal for its battery and bulb
program in partnership with Ace Hardware.
þ 3030-CM-CSG
Commercial Self-Haul
Greenwaste
The City continues to allow residents and their contracted landscapers to haul and divert green waste. New processes for
commercial self-hauling, including by landscapers, are being developed and are planned for implementation in 2025.
The City's Construction and Demolition (C&D) deposit program requires reporting on diverted materials—including
green waste—in order to qualify for a deposit refund.
þ 3035-CM-COR
Commercial Organics
Recycling
The City's commercial franchised hauler, Valley Vista Services offers green waste and food waste recycling services to
multifamily residents and businesses. In 2024, VVS opened up an anerobic digester at the Grand Central Transfer Station
in the City of Industry and is now processing a majority of Diamond Bar organic material at the new facility. VVS
performed a survey in 2024 to update their third party diversion data and identified several businesses utilizing third
party haulers and/ or self hauling/ backhauling material to a distribution center.

þ 3040-CM-FWC Food
Waste Composting
Valley Vista's commercial food waste recycling program, diverted 299.17 tons of green waste, 284.09 tons of which was
food waste in 2024. VVS recently completed construction of their anaerobic digester at their Grand Central Recycling
Transfer Station and a majority of the tonnage was processed there. Otherwise, earlier in the year, before construction
completion, food waste was processed at Puente Hills MRF for anaerobic digestion. One limited collection permittee
services Walmart Market, diverting an additional 23.17 tons of food waste. Albertson’s, Sprouts, and Target have
established internal composting programs to manage their food waste efficiently.
þ 3070-CM-OTH Other
Composting
In addition to the City’s food waste recycling programs provided by Valley Vista Services (VVS), the City and VVS co-
sponsor food waste recycling workshops. These workshops aim to educate multi-family residents and business owners
about proper sorting techniques and other program details. 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.

In 2024, 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. This year the program expanded to include 3rd and 4th grade student in addition to the usual 5th and 6th grade
students. The program also expanded to incorporate private schools, for which two participated, seeing the most
significant improvement in post test scores from their pre exam. Discovery Cube program provides 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. 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. The City continued its Arbor Day poster contest and celebrates
winners at Earth Day.
þ 9040-HH-EDP
Education Programs
The City actively promotes local hazardous waste programs through a wide variety of outlets. Program-specific flyers
and postcards are distributed at City facilities, the Diamond Bar Library, during events, and with hauler newsletters with
customer billing inserts. 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 2024, the Used Motor Oil Recycling program events, for example, was
promoted through magazine ads, EnviroLink articles, the City website, and social media. Used motor oil recycling kits,
which include a drain pan, funnel, filter bags, and filter griper, 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 and in surrounding cities through various promotional outlets. Additionally, the
City advertises both waste hauler HHW curbside collection programs through several channels, including the
Environmental Services hotline. Furthermore, the City continues to promote and support its universal waste drop-off
center in partnership with Ace Hardware, facilitating the collection of batteries and bulbs.

Household Hazardous Waste Programs: Diamond Bar (2024)
Program Name Program description
þ 9000-HH-PMF Permanent
Facility
The City does not have permanent HHW collection/ processing facilities but relies on community partners to provide
local drop off solutions for common HHW items. The City has three certified collection centers for the disposal of used
motor oil and filters. Additionally, Diamond Bar Goodwill accepts electronic waste, and Ace Hardware in Diamond Bar
serves as a drop-off location for household batteries and light bulbs. For the safe disposal of sharps, the Diamond
Bar/Walnut Sheriff's Station, located in the neighboring City of Walnut, provides 24-hour collection boxes. Unwanted
medications can be dropped off at two pharmacies within the City. The Sherwin-Williams in City of Industry and the
Dunn-Edwards in Chino Hills, participates in the PaintCare Program to accept used paint. These services are promoted
on the City’s website and through various media channels periodically. Furthermore, the City promotes County
Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) collection events and the SHARPS and curbside HHW services provided by At Your
Door Special Collections from both waste haulers.
þ 9010-HH-MPC Mobile or
Periodic Collection
The City's contract with Waste Management provides At Your Door Special Collections to offer curbside recycling
services for household hazardous waste materials. Additionally, the City actively promotes the Los Angeles County
Household Hazardous Waste Roundup program. Each year, Los Angeles County sponsors an HHW roundup event in
Diamond Bar. The City ensures residents are well-informed about these events and services by advertising through
various media outlets, including newsletters, social media platforms, and the City’s website.
þ 9020-HH-CSC Curbside
Collection
In 2024, the residential At Your Door curbside HHW collection program provided by Waste Management successfully
collected 9.64 tons of material, with 88% recycling rate. Through other curbside collection programs, residential hauler
collected 70.96 tons of e-waste and white goods. Commercial hauler, Valley Vista Services, collected 2.14 tons of HHW
and E-waste.
þ 9045-HH-EWA Electronic
Waste
The City continues to promote the residential At Your Door Curbside HHW Collection program provided through Waste
Management. In 2024, the AYD program collected 9.64 tons of electronic and hazardous waste. The commercial
curbside collection program collected 2,707 pounds of e-waste in 2024. The City also promotes the Golden Springs
Drive Goodwill and county events in Diamond Bar and surrounding cities as a drop-off location for e-waste. It has
advised some residents of an additional option to drop off e-waste at the Grand Central Transfer station in the
neighboring City of Industry.
þ 9050-HH-OTH Other HHW In addition to promoting several HHW programs for used motor oil and filters, medications, sharps, e-waste, battery,
bulb, and paint, the City also promotes car battery and tire recycling locations throughout the City and free mail-back
programs for medications and sharps. The City's local hazardous waste guide provides local drop off programs for
common household items and lists county events and hauler on-call collection programs all in one handy HHW guide
provided to residents and community members at events and community centers.

Disposal Rate Calculation: Diamond Bar (2024)
Definition of Terms
"Disposal" - Resources Code – PRC 40192. (a) Except as provided in subdivisions (b) and (c), “solid waste disposal,” “disposal,” or “dispose” means the final deposition of
solid wastes onto land, into the atmosphere, or into the waters of the state. (b) For purposes of Part 2 (commencing with Section 40900), “solid waste disposal,” “dispose,” or
“disposal” means the management of solid waste through landfill disposal, transformation, or EMSW conversion, at a permitted solid waste facility, unless the term is
expressly defined otherwise.(c) For purposes of Chapter 16 (commencing with Section 42800) and Chapter 19 (commencing with Section 42950) of Part 3, Part 4 (commencing
with Section 43000), Part 5 (commencing with Section 45000), Part 6 (commencing with Section 45030), and Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 47901) of Part 7, “solid
waste disposal,” “dispose,” or “disposal” means the final deposition of solid wastes onto land.
Reporting-Year Disposal Amount (tons) – Defaults to the total tonnage disposed in the Reporting-Year by a jurisdiction as reported to the Recycling and Disposal
Reporting System (RDRS). This total disposal contains all jurisdiction waste that was disposed in CA landfills (including Green Material ADC), transformation facilities, EMSW
facilities, and exported out-of-state (including Green Material Potential Beneficial Reuse Exported), except for declared disaster debris disposal and disposal in Class II
facilities, as those two types of tonnage are no longer tracked by jurisdiction of origin. Any changes will require you submit a Reporting Reporting Year Disposal Modification
Certification Sheet (PDF). See User's Guide or contact LAMD representative if uncertain.
Disposal Reduction Credits – the EAR calculator will subtract these credits from your requested total in the Reporting-Year Disposal Amount field. Requesting credits will
require you submit a Reporting Year Disposal Modification Certification Sheet (PDF). Descriptions of these credits can be found on that sheet. See EAR User’s Guide
or contact LAMD representative if uncertain.
Reporting-Year Population – January 1st estimate of the number of inhabitants occupying a jurisdiction in the Reporting-Year as prepared by the California Department of
Finance (DOF)
Reporting-Year Employment – the estimate of the annual average number of employees by jurisdiction in the Reporting-Year as prepared by the California Employment
Development Department (EDD).

you do not need to fill out the certification request.
If 3. Green Material ADC (AB 1594) box is checked: Pursuant to Public Resources Code (PRC) Section 41781.3 [(AB) 1594 (Williams, Chapter 719, Statutes of
2014)], beginning in the 2017 EAR jurisdictions are required to include information on plans to address how green material that is being used as ADC will be
diverted. Jurisdictions can review disposal facilities that assigned green material ADC and the amount by using the RDRS Reports: Jurisdiction Disposal and
Beneficial Reuse by Destination.
More information and brief instructions for using the inflow/outflow map is available on CalRecycle’s Green Material Used as Alternative Daily Cover (ADC)

3. If the jurisdiction is not meeting the requirements of Section 41780 as a result of not being able to claim diversion for the use of green
material as alternative daily cover, and if sufficient capacity at facilities that recycle green material is not expected to be operational before
the jurisdiction's next review pursuant to Section 41825, then the jurisdiction should include a plan to address the barriers identified in the
second question that are within the control of the jurisdiction.
Our jurisdiction has submitted a request to facilities that have assigned green material ADC to our jurisdiction to adjust the tons assigned
as we believe they may be misallocated
•For reporting entities that check this box, the following questions may still require answers if there was green material assigned at
the time this EAR was made available for editing. If the tons were changed in RDRS after the date the EAR opens for reporting by
jurisdictions, please note that revised information in the answer to the first question below including the tons adjusted, facility
