Senior Associate

Philip Mainolfi is a SWANA Certified instructor of Zero Waste Principles & Practices who has also facilitated public workshops and presented at conferences regarding SB 1383 requirements as drafted, implementation challenges, and strategies for compliance and funding. Mr. Mainolfi is assisting several agencies, including the cities of El Monte, Lawndale, Manhattan Beach, and Santa Ana, and the Central Contra Costa Solid Waste Authority and County of San Diego, with updating franchise agreements, drafting municipal code language, and/or implementation of SB 1383 draft compliant programs.  He has presented at several regional workshops on SB 1383 implementation requirements.

In the world of solid waste, SB 1383 is being described as the biggest legislative milestone since the adoption of AB 939. Many jurisdictions across the state (particularly ones without organics collection programs) are anxiously anticipating the final adoptions of SB 1383, but implementing SB 1383 may not be as challenging as anticipated.  HF&H has been at the forefront of understanding SB 1383 requirements since the original drafts were released. We have been engaged with CalRecycle staff, have hosted two SB 1383 Local Government Summits, and are assisting a number of agencies with determining how they will achieve SB 1383 compliance.  HF&H has helped jurisdictions evaluate which requirements should be designated to franchise haulers (or other third parties) and which should be handled by local government staff, subsequently ensuring that franchise agreements and ordinances reflect those responsibilities.

This presentation will:

• Provide a big-picture summary of SB 1383, highlighting requirements that will likely have the biggest impact on local jurisdictions.
• Describe practical steps local jurisdictions can take now to ensure that their agencies are SB 1383-compliant.
• Spotlight local governments that have recently adopted or modified franchise agreements to meet SB 1383 requirements.
