FILE NUMBER
Adopt a resolution supporting the City's application for a recycling
grant of $40,000 from the County Regional Recycling and Waste Diversion
Grant Program to provide curbside pick-up of universal waste.
DISCUSSION
The County of Orange has allocated $1,000,000 countywide to promote local
and regional waste diversion and recycling efforts. Santa Ana's
allocation is $40,000. Applications are due at the end of the month and
staff is recommending that the money be utilized to provide curbside
pickup of universal waste. Universal waste includes household batteries,
florescent lamps, items containing mercury, electrical and electronic
devices. This waste is prohibited from being disposed of in landfills.
To encourage proper disposal of these items, a curbside collection
program will be made available for two weeks, twice during the year or
more frequently until the grant funds are expended. Residents will be
notified of the pick up dates and will be directed to call and make an
appointment. It is anticipated that residents will gather their old
products and properly dispose of their universal waste if this convenient
method is offered.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
This collection program is expected to increase the proper disposal of
universal waste, this reducing the disposal of waste in the County
landfills.
