Head. I live in the southeast sector of the city. My impression is that we are not in a convenience zone, because there is no supermarket, excluding a 7eleven that meets the criteria of the revenue mark. So i think it might have been answered, but im not clear. All of those Small Businesses, all of those conveniences stores, do they have to pay the 100 or they are not in a convenience zone . Actually the southeast sector and the whole eastside of the city is served by scrapyards and existing metal recyclers. Okay. So they can establish a zone there and that creates nearby what is called nearby convenience. That kind of exempts the supermarkets. Okay. So you are okay there. Say you have got this kind of odd schizophrenia with lots of things over on 3rd street, nothing over on the west side and the north side. But that is why you are okay there in terms of providing recycling. Okay. And commissioners, just for your reference in the back of your binder is a google map of all the recycling
Adjust things and there is another bill planned for this lifethreateningive session in january. So i mean the timing is right in terms of if there were some recommendations coming out of San Francisco, there is a vehicle for us to talk to the folks up there. Great. This convenience zone, is that unique to california . It is. Its very unusual. I am from the east coast and grew up with the bottle bill there and its very different. Its very successful here and they are talking about using it as a national model. There is an effort to try to create more jobs by creating more recycling infrastructure. Because many states dont have anything at all and the stuff is just thrown out all over the place if you are driving across the country. They are looking at this particular law as a value and its funny re the real odd duck in california because of our density. There is no place else quite like San Francisco. Okay. Commissioner ortizcartagena . I just have one question to clarify some thoughts
Planned to be existing . Okay. Commissioner dwight . To me it sounds like an innovation opportunity in a city that provides innovation and ecology and the component through some kind of notification, some mobile application for arranging the people who have the goods to those that want to collect it. And it seems like its something that we have the opportunity to perhaps take a leadership position on in recommending to sacramento. Have you all talked to recology about what their view of this whole thing is . They understand the problem. They run into the largest buybacks, one at pier 96 on the port and the one at tunnel road and they used to operate seven or eight other ones. They want to see the material handled. Its sort of there is an old garbage guy adage that you want to get your hands on everything and keep it, but they understand that their major role is providing the kind of background coverage for everything. As you were pointing out earlier, this is valuable material that pic
Less time, you know . And it creates this pressure. 100 a day is an onerous for a Convenience Store it is. The 100, its the funny thing, its the 100 to the Convenience Store or supermarket and that feels unlevel not a level Playing Field there. Right. Director dickendrizzi . So just a couple of points. Just to sort of in terms of starting lets say from fresh or anew. A supermarket opens. Its what establishes the creation of the convenience zone and i think kevin talked about this. If that supermarket didnt open, then the Small Businesses, can they choose on their own to do redemption or is it against the law if you are not in a con [sraopbs ] necticut Convenience Center . You couldnt choose to do it on their own. I mean they would have to go through a process to be proactive in that respect. That is one of the key identifiers. In some ways by default the Small Businesss in the area and in our situation its more likely that its going to be a Small Business that it will be absorbing it.

The blue ones are the existing centers and the salmoncolored ones that are ones that are recently no longer existing or planned to be existing . Okay. Commissioner dwight . To me it sounds like an innovation opportunity in a city that provides innovation and ecology and the component through some kind of notification, some mobile application for arranging the people who have the goods to those that want to collect it.
