Council Member Sandy Nurse requests information on waste diversion numbers and their impact on export costs. She also emphasizes the need for financial support to help Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) implement the new clean curbs rule, estimating a cost of $5 million.
- Nurse asks for email updates on organic waste diversion numbers and their relation to export costs.
- She highlights the financial burden on BIDs to install containers for the clean curbs rule, citing an example of a BID with $400,000 annual revenue needing $100,000 for implementation.
- Nurse suggests that since the Department of Sanitation proposed the rule, they should provide funding to help BIDs comply.

you, chairs.
1:12:24
Actually, you both asked my questions, but I did want to follow-up on the, you had mentioned that you were seeing some promising numbers in the waste diversion, organic waste diversion as it relates to export costs.
1:12:41
And I was wondering if maybe in the next couple days you could send an email with what you're seeing so we can understand the ratio of costs.
1:12:51
And also what you project.
1:12:53
Should we hopefully get back on track with making this mandatory?
1:12:59
So I wanted to request that.
1:13:04
And yeah, I also just want to I guess since they already asked, I won't bother, but just want to double down on the comments that the new rule, the clean curves for bids, you all put forth this rule.
1:13:16
We do need help.
1:13:18
And we think you should pick that cost up.
1:13:20
I think it's like $5,000,000 we've costed out to help bids get on track, get these containers installed.
1:13:28
It's going to be very costly for them.
1:13:30
Even just my I have one bid now.
1:13:33
They're like a $400,000 annual revenue.
1:13:38
It's going to be like $100,000 just to get that up and running.
1:13:42
It's a very long bid, so we do need help.
1:13:46
And we think that since you all put this forward it would be great for you to follow through with the solution part.
