In 1993, Pacific Waste Services began to collect source-separated green waste from
Chula Vista generators as part of the City's source reduction and recycling program. At

into a 60-month agreement with Organic Recycling West, with two optional extension
terms of two years each. Pacific Waste has continued to deliver the City's green waste to
Organic Recycling West throughout the term of the agreement. The change to
"alternative daily cover" will stabilize the program for several years, produce modest
increases in diversion, and reduce costs for the City and Pacific Waste Services. (Special
