The City of Temple City, California has contracted with Arakelian Enterprises, Inc., (dba Athens Services) for over thirty (30) years to provide solid waste collection, transport and disposal services. During that time, Athens provided manual hand-tossed mixed-waste and green waste collection services to the residents of Temple City.
California had implemented new waste management laws (Assembly Bill 1594, AB 1826, and Senate Bill 1383) that significantly altered how solid waste was collected and disposed of, impacting costs for both waste generators and service companies. Additionally, on August 18, 2020, the City of Temple City was penalized by CalRecycle for not having a separate waste collection system in place to meet State requirements. As a result, the City faced potential fines of up to $10,000 per day if a compliant program wasn't implemented by January 1, 2022. Despite requests, the State had declined to delay this mandate. To avoid these fines, the City and Athens developed a cost-effective plan to meet State requirements. That plan would cause this service style to grind to halt on July 1, 2021.
So to capture this historic, and now dying, method of collection I traveled out to Temple City in 2021, and found this great crew who allowed me to film.
