CalMAX (California Materials Exchange)

CalMAX is a networking catalog designed to help businesses find markets for non-hazardous materials they have traditionally discarded. CalMAX helps businesses, industries, and institutions save resources and money. The old saying, "One man's trash is another man's treasure" works for businesses, schools, and industry, too! 

For more information visit the California Integrated Waste Management Board at www.ciwmb.ca.gov/CalMAX/.

 


Prepaid Deposit Plan 

All users of San Joaquin County (County) disposal sites listed below must pay a cash disposal fee, except for those who have been authorized to use the Prepaid Deposit Plan:

    Foothill Sanitary Landfill
    Lovelace Materials Recovery Facility and Transfer Station
    North County Recycling Center and Sanitary Landfill
   

The Prepaid Deposit Plan requires that non-cash customers pay an advance deposit in order to use a County disposal site without paying cash for disposal fees. This enables the customer to "draw" from the account during the month as waste is brought to the site.

The County will keep a monthly record of the waste quantities disposed and the corresponding disposal fees. At the end of each month, the County will subtract the total monthly disposal fees from the advance deposit. Payment is due in the Solid Waste office by the end of the month in which the bill is submitted.

The amount of deposit required (for each disposal site used) is determined by the following schedule:

 

Prepaid Deposit Schedule

Average Monthly Charge

Prepaid Deposit Required

 $ 0  -  $50 $150
 50  - 150 450
150  - 300  600
300 - 500 1,000
  500  - 1,000 2,000
Over $1,000 Minimum of $3,000
OR average monthly charge
rounded to nearest $100

 

The County will periodically review the monthly disposal fees and adjust the amount of advance deposit accordingly.

Customers will not be allowed to use County disposal sites on a non-cash basis if the advance deposit funds have been used up or have habitually fallen below the required deposit amount.

Recycling Market Development Zone (RMDZ)

San Joaquin County is one of 40 designated recycling market development zones within California.  The RMDZ program, developed by the California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB), works with  local jurisdiction to help them meet their 50 percent landfill diversion goals.

San Joaquin County RMDZ Mission

To divert significant quantities of recovered resources from San Joaquin County's landfills by  stimulating usage of recycled materials by manufacturers by helping create local markets for recyclables and products made from recyclable materials.

What is RMDZ?

  • A three-way partnership between your business, local government, and the California Integrated
    Waste Management Board (CIWMB)
  • A nexus of local landfill diversion and economic development efforts
  • Loosely modeled after federal and state Enterprise Zones
  • A program that gives you a competitive edge

What RMDZ Does for You

  • Low interest loan program up to $2 million
  • Active business development
  • Increases demand for collected materials, not just diversion
  • Unlike virtually all other CIWMB programs

RMDZ Key Benefits That Work

  • Local, continuous and increasing demand for materials diverted from landfills
  • Industrial jobs and tax revenues
  • Net reduction in transportation costs to get materials to market
  • Goes beyond "Command and Control" aspects of AB 939

Who are the Players?

  • Your Chamber of Commerce
  • California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB) and Business Assistance Staff
  • Technical Assistance Division: technical assistance and program liaisons to zone administrators
  • Loan divisions pre-screening and processing of loan applications

Zone Administrator

  • Pivotal link between CIWMB and recycling-based business
  • "Local sales office" for the program

Recycling-based Business

  • Competent, motivated processors and manufacturers willing to initiate or expand use of recycled feedstock
  • Usually the biggest risk, take in an RMDZ loan deal

Our thanks to Greater Stockton Chamber of Commerce for the RMDZ information.
