SUMMARY
This program is designed to meet the recycling needs of local
institutions of higher learning, resorts, and the general public by
providing recycling containers and associated collection services
in convenient, easily recognizable locations.
JUSTIFICATION
Informal community surveys conducted at events that promote
recycling, indicate that the public would actively participate in
dropoff recycling programs providing the containers are located in
convenient locations. Universities, colleges, resorts, and malls
are locations that are well recognized within the community, have
a large volume of people that visit the facilities on a daily
basis, and have a large volume of solid waste. Dropoff locations at
these facilities would enable the institutions, businesses and the
general public the opportunity to conveniently recycle significant
portions of their waste stream.
INTRODUCTION
Recent legislation and increased public awareness concerning
recycling and solid waste management issues are demanding that
cities become more innovative in dealing with solid waste generated
in their municipality. Universities, colleges and resorts have
extensive and varied waste streams that would greatly benefit from
recycling efforts and positive waste management programs. These
facilities are also well recognized and utilized within the
community and should make excellent community dropoff locations for
recyclable materials.
SCOPE OF WORK
The City of Bakersfield is proposing to set up a series of five
dropoff recycling locations throughout our municipality. These
sites will be distributed throughout Bakersfield and will be set at
the local university, college, shopping mall, a local public
resort, and in a small section of the community that does not have
a private sector recycler in the immediate area. This will be done
in an attempt to make recycling financially feasible and convenient
to the institutions, to private businesses, and to the public at
large. Beverage containers make up a large portion of the
residential waste stream and a large portion of the waste stream
generated by certain institutions and private sector businesses
such as bars, restaurants, cafeterias, resorts, etc.. This program
will enhance the recycling of beverage containers in our
municipality.
The five sites willy be located at California State University,
Bakersfield, Bakersfield Community College, the Rio Bravo Resort
Community, the Valley Plaza Mall and the Westchester community. The
two sites located at institutions of higher education will make
recycling opportunities available not only to the public that
attend or live around these institutions, but also to the
institutions themselves so they can recycle products from their
extensive waste stream. The Rio Bravo Resort Community is located
in the farthest northeast portion of Bakersfield and has no
convenient recycler in the immediate area. This community has an
extensive population, a large number of people who use the area for
recreational purposes (there are two golf courses, a lake, two
county parks and the Kern River in this area), and an extensive
resort area all without convenient recycling services. The Valley
Plaza Mall is located in the center of Bakersfield and will be a
convenient location for a large segment of the city to dropoff
recyclable materials as more than 100,000 individuals visit this
mall every week for shopping, dining and various forms of
entertainment. The Westchester community is a progressive community
within Bakersfield that has an active improvement association. This
site will not only service local residents and businesses within
the community, but funds generated from this site will go to
community improvement projects that will renovate an older area of
Bakersfield.
All five dropoff recycling sites will have three 25 cubic yard
roll-off containers for collection of recyclable materials. These
three containers will have eight separate compartments that will
house the materials collected. The materials collected will be
California redemption glass, plastic, and aluminum, with newspaper,
cardboard, and computer paper also being accepted. The containers
will be clearly marked as to materials collected in each designated
area of the container, and the containers will be serviced and
materials delivered to local recyclers by the Sanitation Division,
City of Bakersfield.~
Records relating to the quantity of materials collected and the
value of those materials will be kept by the Sanitation Division,
City of Bakersfield.. Monies collected from these projects will go
either into the Sanitation Fund to further local recycling efforts,
to the participating institutions to offset cost associated with
collecting these materials at their sites or into community
improvement projects.
The City of Bakersfield is requesting funds from the Division of
Recycling to cover the cost of rolloff containers at four of the
five proposed dropoff recycling locations. We will cover the cost
of putting containers at the Westchester location, all servicing
and maintenance of the five sites, and all required signs. The
budget breakdown for this project covers a 24 month period of time,
from November 1, 1991 to October 31, 1993, yet this project will
continue as an ongoing recycling project that will be budgeted and
supported by the Sanitation Division, City of Bakersfield. The
Department of Conservation, Division of Recycling will be covering
36% of the project cost and the City of Bakersfield will be
covering 64% of the project cost for duration (24 month period) of
this program. Please see budget breakdown sheet for exact dollar
figures.
DRAFT
The City of Bakersfield has been focusing recycling efforts in the
areas of public education, promotional events, and promotion of
existing private sector recyclers. In December 1990, we hired a
Recycling Coordinator/Supervisor to formulate a series of recycling
programs that will enable Bakersfield to meet recycling mandates
required under Assembly Bill 939.
The City of Bakersfield has had extensive experience in
coordination of recycling programs. Programs include recycling of
polystyrene trays (five million trays are projected to be recycled
in 1990-1991) in the Bakersfield City School District, a commercial
cardboard recycling program, Christmas tree recycling in 1990 and
1991 (23,000 and 45,000 recycled in 1990 and 1991 respectively),
and telephone book recycling in 1990 (45 tons).
Mike Sides is the Superintendent of the Sanitation Division for the
City of Bakersfield. He is a Registered Sanitarian that has been
working with solid waste and environmental health issues for 15
years. Mike coordinated a wide range of recycling programs for the
City that include but are not limited to office paper recycling,
telephone book recycling. Christmas tree recycling, commercial
cardboard recycling at a local mall and litter clean up days.
Greg Sanders is the Recycling Coordinator/Supervisor hired by the
City of Bakersfield in December 1990. Greg was previously with the
County of Kern and coordinated recycling projects involving
telephone books, Cihristmas trees, household hazardous wastes,
agricultural pesticides, development of a solid waste management
curriculum for sixth grade students throughout the Kern County
schools, coordinating a promotional event "Recycling Day" in 1989,
and office paper recycling in Kern County office buildings.
The City of BakersfJ. eld has an extensive Sanitation Division that
will carry on this program following the 24 month project period.
This division has a staff of 59 that manages the solid waste
requirements of 45,000 residences and 3,500 commercial accounts. We
have three rolloff trucks that will service the recycling locations
on a bi-weekly basis.
IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE
1. Order containers
2. Tamper-proof containers
