A search for county or city services for refuse services and a review of contract history revealed that Tracy Delta Disposal has been the sole provider of this service. It was discovered that San Joaquin county franchises this operation to private companies that operate in different cities throughout the county. Currently there are seven different companies: California Waste Recovery Systems (Galt, CA), Central Valley Waste Services (Lodi, CA), Allied Waste and Stockton Scavengers Assc. (Stockton, CA), Gilton Solid Waste Management, Inc. (Oakdale, CA), Roos Disposal (Ripon, CA), and Tracy Delta Disposal Service (Tracy, CA).
