Telephone Book Recycling Program with Schools
Director Worthington requested an update on the 1999 School Telephone Book
Recycling Program. Ms. Thompson reported an additional private school was added
to the program — Vineyard Christian School. Twenty -six schools are participating in
the District program. The flyers, posters and bins have been delivered and the
program is in progress. Ms. Thompson informed the Committee of calls received
from three schools indicating they would be unable to track the number of books per
•
class, and proposed the prizes still be awarded, allowing the individual schools to
distribute.
Press releases were sent to the newspapers, however, none of the papers have
published the information. Staff proposed an advertisement be placed in the local
papers and suggested running the ad two times during the course of the program.
Ms. Revak presented a draft certificate for a Baskin Robbins ice cream cone. 500
certificates will be produced and awarded as prizes.
Director Schafer suggested contacting Home Depot in the future for sponsorship in
the program.
Director Worthington suggested staff begin contacting other potential sponsors after
the first of the year.
Beverage Container Grant - Amendment to Grant
Ms. Thompson presented an update on the District's Beverage Container Recycling
• Grant. The Grant was scheduled to terminate on October 30, 1999, however, due to
the Fairview Park construction timeline and other staff limitations, an extension is
needed to accomplish the tasks outlined in the grant program.
