DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND The City participates in California's Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) Beverage Container Recycling Payment Program. The City must submit an application to CalRecycle to secure the grant funding. The program provides opportunities for local governments to receive funds for beverage container recycling programs. The focus of the program is to reach and maintain an 80% recycling rate for all California refund value beverage containers made of aluminum, glass, plastic, and bi-metal. The City has received funding for this program since 1999. With the use of these funds, the City obtains the services of Orange County Conservation Corps (OCCC) and acquires recycling containers for recycling and litter collection. Recently, the City has used these funds to have OCCC perForm maintenance of storm channels through the City. Furthermore, the City uses a portion of the grant to have OCCC provide litter reduction and recycling activities during the City's 3�d of July Celebration, Ride Share Health Fair, Tree Lighting Ceremony, Treats in the Streets Autumn Festival, and other special events. 7.
