Memo to Mayor and City Council <br />1996 SCORE Grant Proposals <br />February 26, 1996 <br /> <br />3. Recycling Education <br /> <br />Page 3 <br /> <br />In December of 1995, we implemented a corrugated cardboard recycling <br />program. However, because the program did not begin until late 1995, we <br />did not have an opportunity to do much education or advertising about the <br />program. Since then, I have found that many residents are preparing <br />their recyclables incorrectly. <br /> <br />Therefore, I am requesting $4,536.00 in 1996 SCORE funding to address <br />the problem. If the grant is received, the education program may include: <br /> · Discussion with haulers about what materials are not being <br /> properly prepared for recycling and any problems they have <br /> encountered on the residential recycling route <br /> · Articles in the Star News <br /> · Direct mail reminding residents of what is recyclable and how to <br /> prepare the recyclables <br /> · a magnet for residents to stick on their refrigerator reminding <br /> them of recycling days and/or what is recyclable <br /> <br />Requested Action <br /> <br />Council motion to approve SCORE grant proposals and direct staff to proceed <br />with grant application. <br /> <br />s:Xplanning\kendraXccscore.doc <br /> <br /> <br />
