One way that the County supports its waste reduction efforts is through surcharges on waste disposal.\r\n\r\nA Solid Waste Planning Fee (SWPF) was adopted in 1984 at $0.15 per ton disposal at landfills, incinerators, and transfer stations, through resolution by the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors. The current fee rate, at $0.78-per-ton, was adopted in 2009. This fee generated $1.3 million in fiscal year 2021 for the County\u2019s Recycling and Waste Reduction Fund. Revenue from the SWPF is expended only on countywide solid waste, recycling, and waste diversion planning, programs, and activities.1<\/sup>\r\n\r\nPor ejemplo, el condado de Santa Clara ha concedido $250 000 d\u00f3lares de ingresos del SWPF para apoyar el lanzamiento de Joint Venture Silicon Valley's programa piloto de recuperaci\u00f3n de alimentos en todo el condado<\/a> en 2021. Otro programa que abarca todo el condado es el programa de educaci\u00f3n y demostraci\u00f3n sobre compostaje<\/a> en colaboraci\u00f3n con la Extensi\u00f3n Cooperativa de la Universidad de California. Este programa ofrece una formaci\u00f3n de maestro compostador, as\u00ed como clases de compostaje comunitario como recursos t\u00e9cnicos.\r\n\r\n \r\n

Se implementa un recargo local por residuos para cumplir con los requisitos estatales de reciclaje y reducci\u00f3n de residuos s\u00f3lidos.<\/h2>\r\nEl condado de Santa Clara tambi\u00e9n cobra una tasa de implementaci\u00f3n de la ley AB 939, con el fin de cumplir los requisitos establecidos en la Ley de Gesti\u00f3n Integrada de Residuos S\u00f3lidos de California de 1989, promulgada por Proyecto de ley 939 de la Asamblea de California<\/a> (AB 939). Este proyecto de ley estatal permiti\u00f3 a los gobiernos locales imponer tasas por residuos s\u00f3lidos que se utilizar\u00edan para sufragar los costos de preparaci\u00f3n, adopci\u00f3n y aplicaci\u00f3n de un plan integrado de gesti\u00f3n de residuos.\r\n
\u201cCAP\u00cdTULO 8. Autoridad local encargada de las tasas<\/h6>\r\n
41900. Cada ciudad y condado deber\u00e1 demostrar que dispone de una o varias fuentes de financiaci\u00f3n para sufragar los gastos de preparaci\u00f3n, adopci\u00f3n y aplicaci\u00f3n del elemento o plan, tal y como exigen las secciones 41003, 41230, 41303 y 41430.<\/strong><\/h6>\r\n
41901. Una ciudad, condado o ciudad y condado pueden imponer tasas en cantidades suficientes para pagar los costos de preparaci\u00f3n, adopci\u00f3n y aplicaci\u00f3n de un plan integrado de gesti\u00f3n de residuos elaborado de conformidad con este cap\u00edtulo. Las tasas se basar\u00e1n en los tipos o cantidades de residuos s\u00f3lidos y se utilizar\u00e1n para sufragar los costos reales en que incurra la ciudad o el condado en la preparaci\u00f3n, adopci\u00f3n y aplicaci\u00f3n del plan, as\u00ed como en la fijaci\u00f3n y recaudaci\u00f3n de las tasas locales. Al determinar el importe de las tasas, la ciudad o el condado incluir\u00e1 \u00fanicamente los costos directamente relacionados con la preparaci\u00f3n, adopci\u00f3n y aplicaci\u00f3n del plan y con la fijaci\u00f3n y recaudaci\u00f3n de las tasas locales.<\/h6>\r\n
41902. Una agencia local puede cobrar directamente las tarifas autorizadas por este cap\u00edtulo o puede, mediante acuerdo, disponer que las tarifas sean cobradas por una empresa de transporte de residuos s\u00f3lidos que preste servicios de recolecci\u00f3n de residuos s\u00f3lidos a la ciudad o al condado.\u201d<\/h6>\r\n \r\n
<\/h6>\r\nEste recargo se adopt\u00f3 por primera vez en 1992, a $1 por tonelada, como un resoluci\u00f3n<\/a> por la Junta de Supervisores del Condado de Santa Clara. Desde 2009, el recargo asciende a $4.10 por tonelada. Este total se compone de una tasa de $1.50 que financia los costos de preparaci\u00f3n, adopci\u00f3n e implementaci\u00f3n de planes jurisdiccionales de gesti\u00f3n integrada de residuos, as\u00ed como una tasa de $2.60 para el Programa de Residuos Dom\u00e9sticos y Peligrosos. Los ingresos procedentes de esta tasa se remiten trimestralmente a las jurisdicciones en las que se recaudan. Por ejemplo, la ciudad de San Jos\u00e9 utiliza los ingresos de la tasa AB 939 para financiar programas de reciclaje y de residuos dom\u00e9sticos peligrosos. Se espera que los ingresos de todo el condado procedentes de este recargo alcancen los $1,6 millones para el a\u00f1o fiscal 2021-2022.\r\n\r\n \r\n

Ciudad de San Jos\u00e9<\/h2>\r\nSan Jos\u00e9 es un l\u00edder<\/a> in the use of economic incentives and disincentives to achieve waste reduction and diversion. These include an aggressive pay-as-you-throw residential rate structure for waste collection, waste disposal surcharges for collection service providers, per-ton disposal surcharges, hauling fees, and diversion incentive payments for recycling contractors.\r\n\r\nThe City of San Jose, one of 15 jurisdictions in Santa Clara County, achieved a reported 69% diversion rate in 2019, one of the highest in the country. San Jose uses $1.50 per ton from the countywide $4.10-per-ton AB 939 fee on landfill waste disposal to fund City recycling efforts. The earnings from the $1.50-per-ton fee, totaling $1,2 millones en el a\u00f1o fiscal 2019-2020<\/a>, se depositan en el Fondo Integrado de Gesti\u00f3n de Residuos, que la ciudad utiliza para el mantenimiento de sus programas de reciclaje, incluido el desv\u00edo de residuos org\u00e1nicos, as\u00ed como para la financiaci\u00f3n del personal.2<\/sup>\u00a0 Adem\u00e1s de las tasas AB 939 que se aplican en todo el condado, San Jos\u00e9 financia sus programas de reciclaje comercial mediante una tasa anual AB 939 por residuos s\u00f3lidos comerciales ($2,7 millones en el a\u00f1o fiscal 2019-2020) que pagan Servicios Republic<\/a>, la empresa de transporte de residuos con contrato exclusivo de San Jos\u00e9. El importe de la tasa por residuos s\u00f3lidos comerciales lo fija el Ayuntamiento. Estos ingresos cubren los costos de la divulgaci\u00f3n del reciclaje empresarial y la administraci\u00f3n del contrato de franquicia. Los programas de reciclaje adicionales se financian con subvenciones de CalRecycle<\/a>.3<\/sup>\r\n\r\nSan Jos\u00e9 tambi\u00e9n cobra un cargo aparte. Impuesto sobre las instalaciones de eliminaci\u00f3n de residuos<\/a>, a $13 por tonelada, en los vertederos situados dentro de los l\u00edmites de la ciudad, lo que genera ingresos para el fondo general de la ciudad. Los datos de ingresos de 2002 a 2013 muestran una disminuci\u00f3n constante de los ingresos anuales procedentes del impuesto (de $16,3 millones en 2002-2003 a $10,7 millones en 2012-2013) a medida que disminu\u00eda el tonelaje anual de residuos depositados en vertederos. Sin embargo, la eliminaci\u00f3n en vertederos ha aumentado con el incremento de los niveles de generaci\u00f3n de residuos y el crecimiento de la poblaci\u00f3n, lo que ha generado unos ingresos anuales constantes de $12-13 millones al a\u00f1o desde 2013.\r\n\r\n \r\n

Conclusiones<\/h2>\r\nLas partes interesadas han expresado su preocupaci\u00f3n general por la vinculaci\u00f3n de los ingresos a las toneladas eliminadas, dado que alcanzar el objetivo de cero residuos generar\u00eda cero ingresos.4\u00a0<\/sup> As of 2021, neither the City nor the County have made recent updates to per-ton surcharges, with the last AB 939 fee increase occurring in 2010, from $3.55 to $4.10 per ton, and the last Solid Waste Planning fee update in 2009 to $0.78 per ton. However, the commercial solid waste AB 939 annual fee is adjusted every year, with approval from the City Council, in accordance with changes in the Consumer Price Index.\r\n\r\nAs an added challenge, the passage of California Proposition 26 in 2010 limits the ability of local governments to create new fees, and requires two-thirds voter approval for increases to taxes and fees, which can be a lengthy process. AB 939 enabled a unique opportunity for local governments to establish fees on waste disposal. Government officials from both Santa Clara County and the City of San Jose have recommended that similar surcharge laws include a system to regularly review and update the fees.\r\n\r\n \r\n
