Explanation
Each year the California Department of Resources and Recovery (CalRecycle)
offers funding opportunities authorized by the legislation to assist public and
private entities in the safe and effective management of their waste stream. This
funding program was created to assist organizations with establishing convenient
beverage container recycling and litter abatement projects, and to encourage
market development and expansion for beverage container materials. The City of
National City applied for $14,923 but received an award of $15,378 because all
of the available funds for fiscal year 2010-2011 were not applied for and the
remaining funds were reallocated to other cities and counties according to their
population. Since fiscal year 2005-2006 National City has applied for and
received this grant and has utilized the funds for our beverage container
recycling program, public education in the National City Elementary School
District, purchasing of park equipment from recycled materials, and recycled
items handed out at City events to increase awareness of the need to recycling.
Accepting the grant provides us the necessary funds to continue these programs
and has no impact on the General fund.
