BACKGROUND
In late March 1973, the Chula Vista Junior Wbmens. Club, supported by the Environmental
Control Commission, approached the City regarding the establishment of a glass
reclamation center. Staff investigated the project and found it to:lbe feasible and
worthwhi 1 e.
Briefly, the Chula Vista Junior Womensl Club contracted with the Chula Vista
Sanitary Service for two metal bins, which would be placed on City land adjacent
to the Animal Shelter. The operation has been cleared with the Coastal Regional
Commission and meets the security and liability conditions of the City. No cost
would be incurred by the City under the terms of the agreement.
On May 30, 1974, the Chula Vista Junior Womensl Club contacted staff and indicated
their unwillingness to continue the project. Their reasons for the discontinuation
of this effort was a lack of club participants and outside assistance. At this
time, the Womens Club requested the City find another sponsor for the glass center
since it was their opinion it is a worthwhile effort and should not be abandoned.
After contacting many organizations and service groups, staff met with the El
Camino District of the Boy Scouts of America and they indicated a willingness to
sponsor the glass center operation.
The Chula Vista Wornens' Club has terminated the operation of the glass center on
August 7, 1974, and the Boy Scouts will hopefully begin operation on August 14, 1974,
for an initial gO-day period. There is every indication from the Boy Scouts that
if the operation proves successful they will continue the glass center indefinately.
