A U-Waste Recycling event with the City of Costa Mesa (CCM) is scheduled for
Saturday, June 17, 2006 at the City Corporation Yard. HMR USA, Inc. will
provide all labor, equipment and transport trailers to run the event including
removal of all material from the collection site the date of the event. Within ten
business days following the event, HMR provides a report detailing the amount of
various materials collected. HMR complies with all Federal, State and local laws
and will provide proof of workers compensation insurance, proof of commercial
general liability insurance and commercial automobile liability insurance with the
Costa Mesa Sanitary District named as additional insured. The success of an U-
Waste Day is based on how well the event is promoted. The cost is dependent
on pounds collected; with 25,000 pounds collected, cost is $1,000; 25,000 to
50,000 pounds is breakeven — no costs; and with 50,000 pounds, HMR pays
$1,000 ($500 each to CMSD and CCM).

Mr. Fauth reported on a small battery recycling program offered by Curbside
Inc. The program includes a leak proof five and one-half gallon container with
a hole in the top. The container is labeled indicating it is for small batteries
only and is designed to be placed in a high traffic area where the effort to
dispose of the batteries is minimal. The bucket can hold 90-100 batteries.
When full, the sponsoring agency or business will contact Curbside for
collection and a replacement container will be left at the location. Public
Agencies pay after the batteries are collected and the entire cost for the
program is $175.00 per bucket and includes recycling of batteries, collection &
transportation, cost of bucket and insurance.
Mr. Fauth reported Orange Coast College Recycling Center on Adams Avenue
