The City realizes the new standardized container program will cause fewer containers to
be left at the curb. Additionally, the curb in many areas where the trash collection vehicle
stops is already painted red. There are also safety and property damage concerns with
on -site service. Mr. Harriers also noted the City is also studying its street sweeping
program and the effect of large no parking areas. Additionally, the City is revisiting its
development standards, thereby requiring more on -site parking for new residential
subdivisions.
LARGE ITEM COLLECTION PROGRAM
Ms. Revak reported the Large Item Collection Program began on June 18, 2001, and will
run through the week of August 20, 2001. The first two weeks of the program produced
99.64 tons at a total cost of $2,190.00. White Goods collected during this period totaled
351.40 pounds amounting to a $313.76 credit to the District.
MINI TELEPHONE BOOK RECYCLING PROGRAM
Ms. Revak informed the Committee of the upcoming PacBell Yellow Pages distribution
occurring July 16 through August 27, 2001. The District will again participate with bins
located in front of City Hall and at the Orange Coast College Recycling Center for
collection of old directories.
Ms. Revak advised the District would take advantage of the closed loop recycling
program with PacBell and Daishowa America. Daishowa is again paying $50.00 per ton
for the PacBell phone directories. Under this program, phone books collected and
shipped to Daishowa America will be converted back into new telephone book paper,
saving valuable forests and reducing landfill usage.
Ms. Revak further apprised the Committee of the contact made with Baskin Robbins to
ascertain the number of redeemed ice cream cone certificates that were donated to the
schools in the 2000 School Telephone Book Recycling Program and learned that only 49
out of 500 certificates were redeemed.
The meeting was adjourned at 10:10 a.m.
