Fortunately, HF&H has the time, talent, and track record to provide powerful options and solutions for all your diversion goals.

Expert Guidance

HF&H clients benefit from our deep knowledge of the recycling and solid waste industry and our understanding of long-term community needs. We help you increase diversion volumes and achieve solid-waste reduction compliance by:

• Developing, implementing, and monitoring customized programs and services to meet or exceed your objectives; including hard-to-reach sectors such as multi-family, commercial, and C&D generators.

• Managing franchise agreements to facilitate optimal recycling and solid waste operations and ensure contractor compliance.

• Tracking new and pending legislation to ensure that our clients are prepared to comply with new regulations.

• Increasing used oil, used oil filter, and bottle and can recycling volumes through grant administration and program development.

Did you know? You can use AB 939 fees and grant funds to offset the cost of HF&H contract management services.

HF&H offers a broad range of fully integrated services, which we tailor for every city and public agency we serve. We provide the expert guidance necessary to achieve or surpass diversion mandates and goals.

AB 939 Implementation Services:

Annual Report Services:

We monitor and complete necessary documents, including: CIWMB Annual Reports; Disposal Modification and Alternative Adjustment Method forms; SB 1066 Time Extension Applications; Creation of a New Base Year; and Sewage Sludge Diversion Credit Applications.
