Santa Ana's <br />allocation is $40,000. Applications were due in January and the City's <br />application has been approved to provide curbside pickup of universal <br />waste. Universal waste includes household batteries, florescent lamps, <br />items containing mercury, and electrical and electronic devices. This <br />waste is prohibited from being disposed of in landfills. <br />The curbside collection program will be made available for two weeks, <br />twice during the year or more frequently until the grant funds are <br />expended. Residents will be notified of the pick-up dates and will be <br />directed to call and make an appointment. It is anticipated that <br />residents will gather their old products and properly dispose of their <br />universal waste if this convenient method is offered. <br />An agreement is recommended with Curbside Inc. to provide these <br />collection services. Curbside Inc. has previously provided household <br />hazardous waste collection for Santa Ana residents and is currently <br />operating the City's battery recycling program. <br />25E-1 <br />
