REVIEW OF SOLID WASTE SERVICES PROPOSALS
This memorandum summarizes the results of the solid waste proposal review
performed by HF&H Consultants, LLC (“HF&H”) for the City of Hermosa Beach
(“City”).
BACKGROUND
The City of Hermosa Beach released on March 13, 2012 a Request for Proposals for
Integrated Solid Waste Management Services (“RFP”). On May 7, 2012, the City
received four proposals. HF&H performed a preliminary review of the proposals and
prepared a summary of each proposal. Written questions clarifying the proposals were
sent to each proposer on May 30, 2012, and each proposer was also provided an
opportunity to review and comment on the accuracy of the written proposal summary.
PROPOSALS REVIEWED
HF&H reviewed proposals submitted by the following companies:
• Arakelian Enterprises, Inc., dba Athens Services (“Athens”), a family-owned
business with significant operations in Los Angeles County, as well as
surrounding counties.
• Consolidated Disposal Service, LLC (“CDS”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Republic Services, Inc., the second largest solid waste hauling company in North
America.
• Crown Disposal Inc. (“Crown”), a privately-held company with operations in the
Los Angeles County.
• USA Waste of California, Inc., dba Waste Management of Los Angeles,
(“WMLA”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Waste Management, Inc., the largest
solid waste hauling company in North America.
A summary of key evaluation metrics is provided in Attachment 1. A further summary
of the evaluated proposals is contained in Attachment 3.
KEY TERMS OF THE RFP
The term of the agreement is seven years beginning January 1, 2013, with an option to
extend the agreement for up to 24 additional months at the City’s sole discretion. The
July 5, 2012 2 City of Hermosa Beach
exclusive scope of this agreement includes residential, commercial and roll-off
collection services, with the exception of construction and demolition debris collection.
A summary of the key services and contract terms requested by the City in its RFP is
provided in Attachment 2.
The City’s RFP included the draft franchise agreement that the successful proposer
would be expected to execute. The agreement identifies in significant detail the various
solid waste collection and recycling services to be provided. The scope of services
contained in the agreement is comprehensive, specific, and tailored to meet the needs of
the customers within the City of Hermosa Beach. Therefore, unless significant
exceptions were proposed or significant enhancements added to the City’s desired
terms, all of the proposals would offer similar services.
Residential Proposal Options
Proposers were provided the opportunity to propose on two residential collection
methods:
Option 1: Cart System – Separate collection of refuse and recyclables in hauler-provided
carts to be collected using an automated arm. Customers would be charged based on
the size and number of refuse carts provided.
Option 2: Manual Single Stream – Combined collection of refuse and recyclables in
customer-provided containers, with solid waste to be processed at a material recovery
facility to recover the recyclables prior to landfilling. Customers would be charged a flat
monthly rate regardless of the quantity of waste placed for collection.
Included in Attachment 8 are excerpts from the September 13, 2011 HF&H presentation
to the City Council related to the comparative advantages of the two options above.
Green Waste Collection Program - Proposers were also instructed to propose an opt-in
green waste program under each option. Under Option 1, the hauler may charge a
monthly fee for green waste carts as part of the volume-based rate structure. Under
Option 2, green waste collection is to be included at no additional cost as part of the flat
monthly rate.
DETAILED PROPOSAL MATRIX

proposer to disclose.
9. “Unique Proposal Features,” identifying proposed terms that exceed the
minimum requirements of the RFP.
July 5, 2012 4 City of Hermosa Beach
Proposed Rate Revenue
Proposed rate revenue represents all customer charges that would be paid by
residential and commercial customers in the City to the contractor based upon the
proposed rates. This is the best method to compare overall costs.
Proposers were asked to propose monthly rates for various services to be provided
under the new agreement. The rates are adjusted annually based on changes in a
weighted rate adjustment formula using published price indices for labor, fuel,
equipment, disposal and “other” costs. Proposers were permitted to propose alternative
adjustment methods for disposal, as detailed below under Rate Adjustment Parameters.
See page 3-7 under Rate Adjustment Terms for detail. Total proposed first-year rate
revenues were calculated by multiplying the proposed rates for each type of service by
the number of customers receiving that service (see Attachment 4).
The current single family residential rate structure is a flat monthly fee for all customers
for unlimited service. Under Option 1, rate revenue will depend on the number and size
of refuse carts selected by the customer. Rates for all proposers were applied to a
standardized cart distribution for comparison purposes.

higher diversion for an additional cost.
July 5, 2012 5 City of Hermosa Beach
Rate Adjustment Parameters
The draft agreement provides for annual rate adjustments based on published price
indices. The RFP permitted proposers to propose an alternative method of adjusting the
disposal component of the rates. A significant decline in disposal tonnage over the last
several years has resulting in some landfills in the region seeking additional disposal
tonnage at reduced rates. However, the anticipated closure of the Puente Hills Landfill
in November 2013 adds uncertainty to the long-term disposal market. The parent
companies of CDS and WMLA own landfills, which provides greater control over
future disposal cost increases. Athens and Crown utilize various landfills owned by
other entities in the region. All proposers offer the City guarantees of capacity for the
term of the agreement at their processing and transfer facilities and, for CDS and
WMLA, their landfills.
Proposed disposal component adjustors, and other proposed rate adjustment benefits
and limitations include:
Athens:
5% annual increase to disposal component.
5% cap on total annual adjustments, with changes above 5% rolled forward to
subsequent years.
An adjustment for increased green waste costs due to the closure of Puente Hills in
2013 (green waste is used as alternative daily landfill cover or “ADC”) and the
subsequent use of Athens’ composting facility in Victorville. The increase would be:
o Option 1: $0.30 per green waste cart per month
o Option 2: $0.31 per home per month
CDS:
Disposal cost increases based on the change in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”),
capped at 2% per year in years two and three, and capped at 3% in subsequent years
The total annual adjustment would have a floor of 0% (no rate decreases).
Crown:
Disposal cost increases based on the change in the CPI.
5% cap on total annual adjustments, with increases above 5% rolled forward to
subsequent years.
WMLA:
Disposal cost increases based on the change in the CPI.
In Table 2 below are projected rate revenues over the contract term, based on the
proposed adjustment methods:

Experience
Proposer experience for all four proposers is summarized starting on page 3-1 of
Attachment 3. Below are service highlights:
Athens provides exclusive services, including both automated and manual
residential collection, to cities throughout Los Angeles County, with a significant
presence in the San Gabriel Valley. In the South Bay area, Athens exclusively
services the cities of Redondo Beach and Palos Verdes Estates. Athens provides
street sweeping services to the City of Hermosa Beach.
CDS has been the exclusive solid waste service provider for the City of Hermosa
Beach since 2001. CDS provides exclusive services, including both automated and
manual residential collection, to cities throughout Los Angeles County. In the South
Bay area, CDS exclusively services the cities of El Segundo (residential), Hawthorne
(residential and commercial), Rolling Hills (residential), and Inglewood (residential
and commercial, beginning August 1, 2012).
Crown provides exclusive residential and commercial services to the cities of Santa
Paula and San Fernando, and to the community of Playa Vista, and exclusive
commercial service to the Santa Monica-Malibu School District and the City of
Beverly Hills. Crown provides non-exclusive commercial services in cities
throughout Los Angeles County.
WMLA provides exclusive services, including both automated and manual
residential collection, to cities throughout Los Angeles County. In the South Bay
area, WMLA provides exclusive residential and commercial services to the cities of
Inglewood (until July 31, 2012), Manhattan Beach and Rolling Hills Estates, and
exclusive residential and non-exclusive commercial services to the City of Carson.

Waste Diversion
The City of Hermosa Beach is part of the Los Angeles Regional Agency, or LARA, 16
cities that submit a combined report to CalRecycle under AB 939. LARA’s 2010
diversion is approximately 70%. This diversion percentage is used for AB 939
compliance purposes and includes source reduction and other recycling activities
performed by parties other than the franchise hauler, such as independent recyclers and
self-haulers. The diversion rates for hauler-collected material only are generally far
lower than citywide diversion rates. The City of Hermosa Beach’s 2011 diversion rate
for hauler-collected solid waste was 26%. Proposers were asked to propose a
guaranteed diversion rate for hauler-collected waste and to describe programs to be
implemented to achieve this rate. Proposed diversion rates for waste collected under
the agreement are summarized below.

Current 26%
July 5, 2012 8 City of Hermosa Beach
If the diversion amount guaranteed is not achieved, the agreement provides for
liquidated damages of $25 per ton for each ton that the contractor falls short of the
guarantee. The highest diversion rates were proposed by Crown. Two key components
of Crown’s plan to reach the higher diversion levels are:
1. Processing of Residential Refuse – Under Option 1, residential refuse is not required
to be processed, as recyclables are to be separated into the recycling carts. Crown
proposes to process the refuse to recover recyclables not separated by the customer
into the recycling cart.
2. Processing of Commercial Refuse – Crown proposes to process commercial refuse to
remove recyclables prior to landfilling.
3. Restaurant Food Waste Program – Crown proposes to include a restaurant food
waste program as part of its base proposal at the same rates as refuse service for
equivalent size containers.
For comparison, recent contracting processes in the South Bay beach cities resulted in a
guaranteed diversion rate of 75% in Redondo Beach and 62% by the end of the term in
Manhattan Beach.
Food Waste Diversion Programs (Optional)
Proposing food waste diversion programs was optional under the RFP. The number of
restaurant food waste programs in the region is growing, and such programs can
increase commercial diversion rates in cities with a heavy restaurant concentration. Few
residential food waste programs have been implemented in the region, and those in
place have shown limited improvement in recovery rates. Proposed programs for the
City of Hermosa Beach are listed below:
Athens proposed:
o A three-month residential pilot program, at no additional cost, in which
customers may place food waste in the green waste cart. After the closure of the
Puente Hills Landfill, Athens proposes to take its green waste to its Victorville
facility for composting. Athens proposed a rate increase for green waste costs to
be effective at the time that Puente Hills Landfill closes. At this point, food waste
may be added to the green waste.
o Restaurant food waste collection for an additional cost to be negotiated.
CDS proposed:
o A six-month restaurant pilot program at no additional cost.
July 5, 2012 9 City of Hermosa Beach
o A six–month residential bagged food waste program at no additional cost. The
cost to the City and residents to continue the program would be the cost of the
food waste bags. Food waste bags can be placed inside the green waste or refuse
carts, with recovery of the food waste bags at a material recovery facility.
Crown proposed
o To immediately implement an on-going restaurant program to divert food and
food-soiled paper, collecting food waste at the same cost as refuse.
WLMA proposed:
o A six-month restaurant pilot program at no additional cost.
Optional Household Hazardous Waste Programs
Proposers were asked to propose a rate for door-to-door collection of household
hazardous waste (HHW). The cost for this program is proposed as a cost per residential
dwelling unit (single and multi-family) per month. Proposers were also provided an
opportunity to propose alternative HHW programs, including drop-off events.
Table 5: Optional HHW Programs
Proposer Door-to-Door
Call-In Other Optional HHW Programs
Athens $0.45/home/mo. Two drop-off events per year instead of door-to-door
program for the same cost.
CDS $0.44/home/mo. Sharps drop-off/mail-back program at no additional
cost.
Crown $0.45/home/mo. At no additional cost, one annual HHW drop-off
event, mail-back Sharps program, one annual e-waste
event, and publicizing of Los Angeles County events.
WMLA $0.99/home/mo. Alternative limited participation door-to-door
program for up to 286 participants per year for
$0.56/home/mo.
Residential Recycling Incentive Programs (Optional)
Proposers were provided an option to propose residential recycling incentive programs,
such as gift cards or coupons to neighborhoods with higher recycling participation.
CDS and WMLA proposed programs for an additional cost. Crown proposal includes a
program. Details and costs for each program are included on page 3-12.
July 5, 2012 10 City of Hermosa Beach
Exceptions to the Franchise Agreement
The only company to take any exceptions to the draft franchise agreement included in
the RFP was WMLA, which took 25 exceptions to the draft agreement language,
ranging in level of significance, addressing extraordinary rate adjustment procedures,
fuel usage, billing procedures, audit scope limitations, time limits on container repair
and other terms. See page 3-13.
Safety
Proposers were asked to submit the status of their Biennial Inspection of Terminal, or
“BIT,” report. All of the haulers provided Safety Compliance Report/Terminal Record
Update certifications with a Satisfactory status.
Proposers were requested to submit their Experience Modification Rate, which is
determined by the National Council on Compensation Insurance. This helps to measure
the efficacy of a company’s safety program. A rating of 1.0 is average, with lower
numbers being preferable. All proposers, except Crown, had factors more favorable
than average. Crown’s rating was 1.08, versus a 1.0 average. Crown noted that this
lower than industry average rating was due to the company’s inclusion of a higher
percentage of material recovery facility employment versus route driver employment
compared to other companies in the industry. (Crown indicates that the rating is for the
combined operations of Crown and Community Resource Recovery and Recycling.)
Safety issues in the solid waste industry are more heavily concentrated at solid waste
processing and disposal facilities than on collection routes.

A three-year history of the EMR is shown on page 3-11.
Legal Disclosures
The RFP required the proposers to describe certain legal actions meeting the disclosure
requirements that occurred in the past five years against the entity submitting the
July 5, 2012 11 City of Hermosa Beach
proposal, its key personnel, or affiliated companies in the State of California. See page
3-14 of Attachment 3 for details.

An organization called “Montebello Residents for Honest Government PAC”
established a website www.stopathens.org. Athens provides exclusive residential
service in this city, while multiple haulers compete to provide commercial service. The
city awarded Athens an exclusive commercial agreement, to be effective after a required
five-year notice to existing commercial haulers ends. This agreement was awarded
without a competitive process. The cities of Lawndale, Manhattan Beach and Rancho
Palos Verdes, in which Athens proposed, received information from third parties
referring the City to the www.stopathens.org website, which includes a range of
negative allegations against Athens. See Attachment 7 for a response from Athens
regarding assertions made on this website.
Crown’s sister company, Community Recycling and Resource Recovery (CRRR), had a
fatal accident at its composting facility in Lamont last year, which has attracted media
attention. The Kern County Board of Supervisors voted to fine CRRR and revoke its
permit. The Court issued a stay of closure as the parties work out legal disputes. The
facility continues to operate at this time. See page 3-15.
Unique Proposal Features
Proposers were permitted to include contract enhancements over and above RFP and
contract requirements. These are summarized on pages 3-16 and 3-17 (unique proposal
features) and page 3-13 (other diversion programs). These generally involve community
support and minor recycling program enhancements, and the results of the latter would
be reflected in the guaranteed diversion rates.
Athens’ Alternative Term Proposal
The City contracts with Athens for street sweeping services through June 30, 2013.
Athens proposes to negotiate street sweeping cost savings for significant term
July 5, 2012 12 City of Hermosa Beach
extensions of the street sweeping agreement and the solid waste agreement. See page 3-
16 for additional information.
Regarding financial savings from contract extensions, each proposer would likely
propose additional savings if it is offered a longer term agreement. If the City is seeking
to enter into a longer term agreement with a proposer, it may consider soliciting similar
offers from the other competitors for comparison.
Reference Checks
HF&H conducted reference checks for the four proposers. HF&H contacted each
proposer’s references regarding the proposer’s performance in the areas of customer
service, program implementation, and working with the public agency. HF&H then
solicited an overall rating reflecting each city’s satisfaction with their hauler. All
proposers received combined ratings “above expectations” and no hauler received any
overall rating from a customer below a “satisfactory” rating.
Table 8: Reference Check Summary
Proposer # of References Ratings by Municipal

Athens 16 4.3
CDS 13 4.1
Crown 5 4.6
WMLA 11 4.1
(1) 1 = Unsatisfactory, 2 = Below Expectations, 3 = Satisfactory, 4 = Above
Expectations, 5 = Exceptional Performance
Interviews
The City staff, with HF&H, interviewed the three lowest cost proposers. The City did
not interview WMLA due to proposed rate revenue that was 40% above current rates
and 12% higher than CDS, which was the next highest cost proposer.
Overall Observations
1. All the proposers are experienced and successfully providing services in other cities.
Reference checks for all companies were positive, as shown in Table 8.
2. All proposals will result in an overall cost increase for ratepayers, as shown in Table
1 on page 4 of this report. (Note that, under Option 1, residential costs may increase
July 5, 2012 13 City of Hermosa Beach
or decrease depending on the number and size refuse carts selected. The residential
rate would decrease under Athens’ Option 2 proposal.)
3. Crown and Athens proposed similar costs over the seven-year contract term, with
Athens slightly lower by 1% as shown in Table 2 on page 6. As shown in Table 4 on
page 7, Crown proposed significantly higher diversion at 60% to 65% versus 35% to
40% for Athens under its base (lowest cost) proposal.
4. Under Athens’ alternative proposal, diversion is increased to 42.5% to 50%, versus
Crown’s 60% to 65%, but Athens proposed costs would increase by 5% compared to
its base proposal, resulting in Crown having the lowest costs by 4% over the contract
term.
5. CDS, the incumbent, has the largest financial resources of the proposers
interviewed, which can provide greater financial stability, while minimizing service
transition issues. The CDS proposal achieves lower diversion (31% to 35%)
compared to Crown and Athens, and results in costs that are 17% to 20% higher than
the lowest cost proposer over the contract term as shown in Table 2 on page 6.
6. The costs of Option 1 (cart system) and Option 2 (manual single stream) are similar,
with a variance of approximately 3%, depending on which proposer is selected as
shown in Table 1 on page 4.
Summaries of cost over the contract term and proposed diversion rate guarantees are
recapped in Tables 9 and 10 below.

PROPOSER FOOD WASTE PROGRAMS - OPTIONAL
Athens Residential - Athens offers to conduct a three-month pilot program for residential food waste diversion. Pilot
program will include approximately 10% of residents. Athens can provide residential and/or commercial
food waste programs for an additional cost, and currently provides such programs in the region.
Food waste may be added to residential green waste carts after the closure of Puente Hills Landfill and the
corresponding rate increase for green waste is in force. Under Option 1, rate increase will be $0.30 per green
waste cart per month. Under Option 2, the increase will be $0.31 per home per month.
CDS Restaurant - CDS offers, at no additional cost, a six-month commercial food waste/organics pilot program to
be started by the end of the first year of service.
Residential - Under residential collection Option 1, CDS offers a residential organics pilot program that
permits inclusion of food waste and other organics in brightly colored bags to be placed in refuse or green
waste carts for removal at CDS’ transfer station. Residents would be provided six months worth of bags
initially, and additional bags upon request. The only additional cost will be for bags after the initial six month
supply. Bag cost and distribution method would be determined with the City after initial results are obtained.
This program would permit residents without space for green waste carts to recycle green waste in these
bags. Residents with green waste carts are expected to only place food waste in the bags.
Under Option 2, food and green waste would be collected through this bag program, eliminating the need for
a green waste truck. This would be an on-going program and not a pilot.
Schools will participate in an on-going bagged food waste diversion program at no additional cost.
Disneyland is currently running this program as a pilot.
Crown Restaurant - Estimating at least 100 participating food waste generators producing approximately 3,250 tons
of compostable food and food-soiled paper per year. Based on each customers’ container storage capacity and
wastestream, Crown will provide either:
Two bins, one for compostables and one for remaining waste which will be processed to recover
recyclables
One split bin, with separate compartments, one for compostables and one for either recyclables or refuse
to be processed to recover recyclables, or
A cart for commingled recyclables and a bin for all other waste, which will be processed to remove non-
compostables and then processed as food waste.
Cost of program at no additional charge – same rate as proposed for refuse.
Residential – Does not recommend initiating a residential food waste program at this time. Crown notes its
program to process residential refuse will provide for a larger increase in diversion.

PROPOSER DOWNTOWN AREA ALTERNATIVES – OPTIONAL
PROPOSERS ALL PROPOSED COSTS AS REQUIRED FOR EXISTING PORTER SERVICE
Athens Athens suggests replacing bins with roll-off compactors. Alternatively, Athens suggests using a small
collection vehicle to collect waste directly from the businesses.
CDS CDS suggests the following enhancements be made:
Implement a bagged organics program (which contains odor producing material).
Implement a monitoring and tracking system, time-stamping visits to each customer to help allocate
porter service.
Construct a chain-link lid over Lot A to keep out birds and scavenging activities, allocating costs to
porter service customers.
Provide locks for all recycling containers next to Lot A.
CDS will consider working with community-based groups to collect recyclable materials as a cost control
measure, or work with businesses to pilot other workable solutions.
Crown Crown recommends re-opening Lot B, covering Lots A and B, and installing split compactors. Enclosures
would be reconfigured to accommodate compactors at Crown’s cost. Crown offers solar powered split bins
with a back up 120 volt single phase power option.
Businesses would be issued electronic keys and access would be monitored to determine allocation of costs
based on frequency of access. Proposes issuing each customer a container for commingled recyclables and
for remaining solid waste. The remaining solid waste would be processed as food waste.
Costs to be negotiated.
WMLA Will work with the existing porter service, adjusting services based on heavy holiday demand and other
service variations. Notes that full participation of the downtown businesses in a food waste program may
generate enough food waste for a separate route that collects organics directly from the businesses and
transports them to a processing facility without taking the potentially odor causing material into the shared
bin enclosure.
Suggests that the City install additional surface and groundwater protection features, such as Abtech.

Athens’ StopAthens.org Response
You have asked us to respond to some “blog” information that provides misinformation and
absolute falsehoods. We are not typically asked to respond to information disseminated about our
company from anonymous sources, but we are happy to reply in this instance because we are
confident our response will provide the city a more accurate representation of Athens Services if this
issue arises. In addition, HF&H has evaluated Athens Services on several occasions and has
recommended us as a potential waste hauler to several cities as a result of this evaluation. We
certainly believe that these evaluations have been vetted out and HF&H would not recommend a
hauler if these issues were current, or even fact. As a case in point, we have been awarded a waste
contract where this very issue arose and once the final decision was made by the City Council, the
issue never manifested itself during contract implementation or service. The competitors simply
went away and will again possibly surface during the contract deliberation in Hermosa Beach. This
is a typical behavior that our competitors and local unions use to try and discount the fact that
Athens Services is one of the most qualified waste haulers in Southern California. Most City Officials
and Staff Members see right through this “anonymous” attack on an outstanding municipal vendor
like Athens. During our consultant-participant relationship in the past 3 years you (HF&H) have not
experienced anything the like of what this blog has indicated. Also remember that this blog has no
“new information”, and is simply a byproduct of misinformed competitors that can mask their
identity by using the internet. This behavior is one of the unfortunate consequences of the
anonymous internet use. I am sure anyone looking at this will understand, can appreciate, and
probably has experienced this internet style assault, especially elected officials and City Staff.
The information you have asked about is garnered from a website that claims to be maintained by,
“Montebello Residents for Honest Government.” This website is actually maintained by the main
consultant to several of our waste company competitors. As would be expected of a website
constructed and maintained by industry competitors, under the guise of a grassroots group of
concerned citizens, the website is replete with inaccurate and blatantly false information about
Athens Services. It is most unfortunate that competitors and special interest can take a “free shot”
via this horrible website which demonstrates truly the worst the internet has to offer. The owners of
Athens Services have built a tremendous value add company based on family values and service,
both to our customers and employees. Athens demonstrates to all of our contracted cities these
values on a daily basis, and when asked, each city will give us the highest regards for our attention
to detail and service model. Most important is that our partner City’s Staff and Elected Officials are
reminded that they made the right decision by selecting Athens as their waste hauler and landfill
avoidance business partner. Following are some examples of the erroneous information
disseminated to you in the past by an anonymous party or parties:
The website states, under a heading "Montebello Superfund Site," that Athens operated one of the
region's worst landfills, now a major federal Superfund cleanup site, while doing business as the
"Operating Industry" company. This statement is false. Athens has never done business as
“Operating Industry Company,” owned any such entity, nor played any role whatsoever in the
operation of the so-called "Montebello Superfund Site.” Rather, the site was operated for years as a
mining related venue, later opened as a landfill in 1948 by the City of Monterey Park and a private
operator, subsequently taken over by Operating Industries, Inc., and eventually shut down and
labeled a Superfund Site. Jack Arakelian had a partnership interest in Operating Industries in the
early 1970’s. Jack Arakelian never had any ownership of Arakelian Enterprises dba Athens Services,
Athens’ StopAthens.org Response Attachment 7
July 5, 2012 7 - 2 City of Hermosa Beach
nor did Athens Services take waste to this facility.
The website refers to antitrust allegations. This case dates back over 23 years to an alleged incident
between one of our senior executives at the time, and another business associate. Our firm chose to
enter a no contest plea, not admitting any wrongdoing but not contesting the allegations in a public
forum. As such, and since that incident there have been no violations and Athens Services has a
spotless record versus the majority of our competitors in the industry.
The website further states, under the heading "Operational Safety Violations," that OSHA has cited
Athens for illegally forging a CHP officer's signature of "scores of fake vehicle repair certifications"
and further lists a host of other serious safety violations attributable to Athens. It even purports to
cite to a Los Angeles Times story to corroborate the allegations. In reality, the cited article indicated
West Covina Disposal, not Athens, was the operator who committed such acts -- a completely
separate company which, at the time, Athens was not affiliated with in any fashion. Indeed, in part
to try and solve these very problems, which the website accuses Athens of committing, the City of
West Covina later worked with Athens to take over the waste hauling contracts at issue in order to
remedy this situation. Indeed, Athens still has a contract with the City of West Covina and we have
a very good working relationship with and positive reputation in the city, which we are confident
both city staff and council will verify. In addition Athens Services currently received a “Certificate
of Achievement” from the California Highway Patrol for consecutive satisfactory ratings on our
motor carrier safety and terminal inspections, a far cry from this anonymous internet assault.
The website additionally cites, under the heading "Environmental Violations," various SCAQMD
violations. Athens’ state of the art materials recycling facility utilized a series of highly innovative
technologies that initially created various issues, but such temporary problems were remedied in
full and the issues abated. The reason for these temporary issues and problems was twofold: one,
the design, construction, and utilization of a groundbreaking and state of the art materials recycling
facility created a host of new challenges for Athens and its team. Second, such issues may have been
minor indeed but for the efforts of a plaintiff's class action firm that utilized a "phone tree" for the
surrounding citizens to constantly call the SCAQMD to claim the presence of various "odors" in the
area and alleged resulting "harm" to the community. Based in large part on these complaints,
Notices of Violation were routinely issued based on such simple calls and complaints without any
form of environmental or scientific testing. As to the multiple Notices of Violations, those were
almost entirely created by a small group of residents that sued Athens and then routinely called the
SCAQMD in the hopes of adding some validity to their lawsuit – and, with no testing or
environmental equipment of any kind, the SCAQMD would often issue the notices based solely on
such calls. Our last Notice of Violation of this type was received in October of 2007. Theses NOV’s
and the lawsuit were later remedied and dismissed following an inspection of the facility by a panel
of AQMD officials. Since that time our MRF has been operating virtually NOV free and the
SCAQMD issues have also been fully resolved. A very important point here is that some of the
equipment purchased and installed was later found to be defective and the contractor and
manufacturer of the equipment took responsibility for correcting those issues. The Athens Material
Recovery Facility (MRF) is a fully enclosed facility that employs the most technologically advanced
environmental impact mitigations. It is the highest diverting mixed waste MRF in California and we
invite City Staff, City Council and Residents to tour the facility at any time to form their own
opinion.

Finally, with respect to our company’s reputation- Athens Services has provided exemplary waste
collection and recycling services to cities throughout Southern California for 53 years. The
allegations regarding political manipulation and pricing are absolutely false. We have exclusive
contracts in 20 cities, some dating back to the 1960’s, and non-exclusive contracts in many more. Our
reputation for providing consistently excellent service at highly competitive rates has earned us the
trust of these communities to continually meet and exceed ever-more stringent AB 939 mandates.
Our long history of community involvement and philanthropy has solidified positive relationships
in each of our stakeholder communities as we are confident will be verified through our references.
This should address your questions regarding the stopathens.org website.
Unfortunately we cannot control internet postings or anonymous information disseminated to cities
about our company. However, because of our proven record of being an industry leader with
respect to service, innovation and community support, we are confident our well-earned, positive
reputation continues to be the standard by which we are judged in our communities and our
industry. Athens Services will add value to your community so both City Staff and Elected Officials
can focus on the Mission, Goals, and Objectives while implementing your daily action plans.
