As part of their waste contract for business and commercial waste services in the City of Santa Clarita, Burrtec Waste Inc. is required to build a Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) in the Santa Clarita Valley. This task has proven to be difficult, especially with regard to the site selection portion. At the request of the City Council, the City’s Public Works staff drafted a public process for the selection of a new committee that will help the City Council select that site. The recommended process will involve a new Site Selection Committee of 15-20 members, to accomplish this task.
Solid Waste Sub-Committee and City Councilmembers Laurene Weste and Marsha McLean both agreed to recommend to the full City Council, a process to include the community by creating a new Site Selection Committee to help select a site for the Valley’s MRF. The Sub-Committee will bring the item to the Santa Clarita City Council for consideration after the first of the year.
