7. DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND
The City participates in two CalRecycle programs: the Oil Payment Program and the Beverage
Container Recycling Program. An annual application is required, and funds are dispersed by
CalRecycle on a per- capita basis. The grant funds identified here are for CalRecycle programs in
Fiscal Year 13 -14. The City has until the end of Fiscal Year 14 -15 to expend the Oil Payment
Program funds, while the Beverage Container Recycling Container funds do not have a deadline.
Oil Payment Program
The City has been the recipient of CalRecycle Oil Payment Program grant funding since 1994,
and has utilized the funding to provide its residence services such as free door -to -door used oil
collection through At Your Door Special Collection. Residents can simply call At Your Door
ITEM 8/12/14
Special Collection through a toll -free number and make an appointment for their used oil to be
collected from an accessible location. As an essential component of the City's pollution
prevention efforts, the program provides residents with a convenient alternative to the illegal
disposal of used oil.
Furthermore, the grant funding is also used to support the City's certified used oil collection
centers, and for the provision of public education related to recycling.
Beverage Container Recycling Program
The City has received funds for this program since 1999. With the use of these funds, the City
obtains the services of the Discovery Science Center (DSC) and the Orange County Conservation
Corps (OCCC). Most recently, the City has used these funds to have OCCC perform
maintenance of storm channels throughout the City. On an annual basis, the City uses a portion
of these funds to have OCCC provide litter reduction and recycling activities during the City's
Third of July Celebration, Ride Share Health Fair, Treelighting Celebration, Treats in the Streets,
and other special events.
The City has also committed a portion of their grant funding to support the DSC Eco Challenge
Program, which is an interactive environmental exhibit that integrates different teaching practices
to acclimate sixth grade participants with techniques to protect the environment and promote
recycling. The program elements include a 50- minute in school assembly and take home
assignments, a two -hour field trip to DSC to interact with environmental exhibits, and a two -hour
teacher professional development program.
During fiscal year 2013 -14, the DSC's Eco Challenge utilized City- designated per- capita grant
funding to provide over 1,000 Orange Unified School District youth with an enhanced
perspective of recycling and resource conservation.
