1. (a) The alternatives shall include, but not be limited to, the following methods for accomplishing separation of the recyclable materials from the waste stream:

   1. (1) separation of recyclable materials at the source of generation, including curbside and mobile collection systems;
   2. (2) drop-off recycling centers;
   3. (3) buy-back recycling centers;
   4. (4) manual material recovery operations;
   5. (5) mechanized material recovery operations that produce a product which has a market; and
   6. (6) salvage at solid waste facilities.
2. (b) The jurisdiction shall consider changing zoning and building code practices to encourage recycling of solid wastes, such as, rezoning to allow siting of a drop-off recycling center in residential neighborhoods or revising building codes to require adequate space be allotted in new construction for interim storage of source-separated materials.
3. (c) The jurisdiction shall consider changing existing rate structures to encourage recycling of solid wastes.
4. (d) The jurisdiction shall consider the methods which it will use to increase the markets for recycled materials, including, but not limited to, changing governmental procurement programs to promote market development by giving purchase preferences to recycled products or otherwise specifying their use.
5. (e) The jurisdiction shall encourage handling methods which preserve the integrity of recovered materials so that they remain usable raw materials for manufacturers of recycled content products. For this purpose, the jurisdiction shall consider the extent to which separation of recyclable materials from waste can be performed as close to the point of generation as possible.

Each jurisdiction shall analyze the recycling diversion alternatives affecting residential, commercial, and industrial wastes. The analysis shall take into account existing recycling programs and their possible expansion in addition to the areas of concern specified in section 18733.3 of this Article.
