Section 21. Residential Curbside Recycling Services
B. Obligations of Grantee
(5) Public Awareness Program - The City and the Grantee agree that a
primary element in encouraging the public to adopt source
reduction and recycling habits is to demonstrate the cost of
recycling versus the ultimate cost of not recycling. To that
end, the Grantee will highlight in the Public Awareness Program,
estimated savings expected in landfill costs as a result of
recycling. The Grantee will prepare an Introductory Packet of
information regarding the Citywide Singl e-Family Curbside
Recycling Program, approved in advance by the City, and will
distribute such packet with the recycling containers to each
eligible residence. The packet shall include, but not be limited
to: a) An informational brochure that detail s the program
elements and describes how they can participate; and b) doorknob
hangers or other methods encouraging use of the recycling
container and explaining the program.
The Grantee will assist with media events, make presentations to
community groups and businesses on an as needed basis, and attend
County wide meetings related to recycling, speaking on the City's
Curbside Recycling Program if needed. The Grantee also agrees to
assist in ~eveloping incentives to increase participation and tonnage
collected, and to encourage involvement of community and youth groups.
The Grantee and the City agree that the main purpose of an aggressive
public education program is to increase participation and diversion.
Beginning in the second year, if, in the City's judgment, it is
reasonably determined that the public education effort has not
resulted in high enough program interest, the Grantee will perform
reasonable public education activities at the City's direction at a
cost not to exceed $.10 of the monthly billing.

Section 21. Residential Curbside Recyclin9 Services
D. Funding and Rates for Collection
(1) Funding Sources The residential curbside collection program
will be funded by four sources: a monthly recycling fee to all
eligible residents; revenue from the sale of collected recyclable
material; savings in disposal cost of material diverted from the
landfill; and grant funds when available and awarded.
la) A monthly recycling fee charged to eligible residents is the
primary source of funding for this program. In general, it
will be allocated equally amon9 the customer base r~ceiving
said recycling service and will be determined by the
Grantee's operating expenses directly attributable to the
recycling program, less: revenue received from the sale of
collected recyclable material, the savings realized in
disposal costs of material diverted from the landfill, and
application of grant funds. The Grantee will use the billing
system to demonstrate that material sales, landfill diversion
credits and 9rants reduce the program's operational costs.
The purpose of providing this information is for the public
to continue to see how diverting waste from the landfill as
resu1 t of recycling produces savings. Specific fee
information is outlined in paragraph D.(2) below.
SECTION 2: This ordinance shall take effect and be in full force and
effect on the thirtieth day from and after its adoption.
