AdditionalJy, the City has established a successful recycling program at California State University, San Bernardino instalJing 14,000 bins throughout the campus to colJect recyclables. The City's education and promotion for recycling programs includes community outreaches, public service announcements, special public events, and newsletters. In an effort to meet the state mandate of 50% diversion, the City of San Bernardino Public Services Department partnered with San Bernardino Stadium to incorporate beverage container recycling for patrons. The Stadium utilized 20 bins for beverage container collection and will be doubling that amount with the 2002 season. Department of Conservation Block Grant funds for FY 1999/2000 were utilized to pilot the Stadium recycling program and to target a low participation residential area with increased education about beverage container recycling. The City is currently utilizing FY 2000/2001 Department of Conservation Block Grant Funds to establish a permanent recycling program at the San Bernardino Stadium and to pilot a multi-unit recycling program. The City of San Bernardino has been successful in partnering with various organizations and businesses to establish recycling programs and is continually looking for additional opportunities to increase diversion and partner with new companies and agencies to implement recycling programs. Changing the infrastructure of the National Orange Show by implementing a beverage container recycling program for attendees would move the City closer to the 50% diversion goal. Need The City of San Bernardino proposes to implement a beverage container recycling colJection program at the National Orange Show in San Bernardino. This is an under served public facility that does not have an established beverage container recycling program that diverts recyclable containers from their waste. They do have an established organic composting program and a cardboard recycling program. These two examples demonstrate their commitment to integrated recycling. The National Orange Show staff is eager to enhance their recycling efforts by implementing a beverage container recycling program. The National Orange Show hosts hundreds of events each year, which includes; concerts, trade- shows, festivals, year-round attractions and a Sports Center. The annual average number of people that attend events held at the fairgrounds is 1.5 million. The National Orange Show Fair is a five-day event held in May, this event alone has over 150,000 people in attendance. The fair has taken place every year since 1911, with the exception of four years during World War II, and has grown significantly over the years maximizing its 52-acre space. 1 In order to kick off the beverage container-recycling program, a pilot project is proposed. This would be implemented during the S7th Annual National Orange Show Fair, which runs from May 23-27, 2002. The concessions department reported selling 96,000 bottles of water during the 200 I year. Throughout the fairgrounds there are also a dozen soda vending machines that are filled only during events and generate 10,000 soda cans and water bottles a year. In order to maximize the usage of the beverage container recycling bins, a total of 120 bins would be necessary during the five-day National Orange Show Fair. This is the same amount of trash receptacles the fair has in place. The beverage container recycling bins would be placed in heavy foot traffic areas, near concession stands, at the entrances to the fair grounds and buildings. Bin placement would be reconfigured for other events during the year. The beverage collection containers that would prove to be the most efficient are the 32-gallon Toters made of at least 25% post-consumer recycled content. A baffle with a four and half inch opening on top of the containers would decrease the amount of contamination. Interviewing other cities that have developed similar programs made the recommendations for the bin type. By restricting the capacity size to 32-gallons, there is a decreased incidence of contaminating 32- gallons versus a 64-gallon bin. The phrase "Beverage Containers Only" will be hot stamped on the lid. A sweeper crew that the National Orange Show contracts with would be in charge of the removal of the filled bags of recyclables at the end of the day. During the fair only, a 40-yard roll-off bin would be in place to receive only those bagged recycled beverage containers and would be sorted by special service groups and charity organizations for redemption at certified recycling centers. Two permanent 3-yard bins will receive the bagged recyclable beverage containers for other events held at the National Orange Show when the recycling bins are emptied throughout the day. . Eight banners highlighting the recycling program will be displayed throughout the fairgrounds all year-round. The banners will have a picture of the containers and a phrase encouraging participants to recycle. The I-SOO-RECYCLE number and the funding agency information will also be on the banner. In further attempts to advertise the recycling message, the National Orange Show will display the Department of Conservation I-SOO- RECYCLE number and the message, "Recycle- it's good for the bottle, it's good for the can." This advertising screen displays various advertisements and faces out towards a major intersection. The ad will run for a year from the time of program inception. Additionally, the National Orange Show is also home to a Sports Center. This establishment has a full service restaurant, three bars and a snack stand. The yearly number of people that patronize the Sports Center is 35,000. This is an indoor event that would need 30 beverage container recycling bins. The ones best suited for beverage container collection are 30-gallon containers that are comparable to the size and of the trash receptacles. The decor in the Sports Center is stylish and the beverage container recycling bins would be a dark green that would match the color of the room. There is a single opening at the top of the container, clearly marked "bottles and cans only" and have the word "recycle" imprinted in large font on the side of each container. Imprint for funding agency would be located on the bin also. Patrons and employees will have access to the collection receptacles to recycle beverage containers. 2 , I Cleaning crews that have an existing contract with the National Orange Show that clean the fairgrounds will allocate some of their time to bagging the recyclable beverage containers, moving and cleaning the collection receptacles and changing out the liners. Staff at the Sports Center will also allocate time to maintaining the indoor recycling receptacles. The beverage container recycling receptacles would be emptied into, two three-yard bins, exclusively for recycling beverage containers by the cleaning staff. Special service groups and charity organizations will sort the bottles and remove for redemption at a certified recycling center. Outcomes During the National Orange Show Fair, the pilot program will have an outreach booth with recycling information, recycling trivia and incentives. Ongoing public service announcements will highlight the recycling program and the bin collection containers. The booth would service a maximum number of people that attend the fair each day. All persons visiting the booth would be asked the trivia questions in order to educate them about the recycling program. The pre and post data gathered at the booth via surveys will be put into a spreadsheet to gauge how participants recycle when they are at home and away. Design of the survey will be based on pre- existing forms, which have been utilized to gather data from other environmental outreaches. The amount of redeemed beverage container money collected by the service organizations would indicate the rate at which the public uses the recycling bins. Sustainability The National Orange Show will assume all responsibilities of program maintenance after the grant period has ended. A contact person has been established that will monitor the program during and after the grant period. Concessions will supply that person with the number of beverage containers sold throughout each event. Service and charity organizations will update the program monitor with the amount of redeemed containers and money generated from the program. All collection data will be reported to the City of San Bernardino Public Services Department for reporting to Department of Conservation. Additionally, the City is committed to providing staff for an information booth will be at the National Orange Show Fair for the 2003 year. Staff will survey booth visitors in regards to their recycling behavior and ask them recycling trivia to receive an incentive item. The success of this program will be a springboard for other recycling programs that can be implemented at the National Orange Show and serve as a model for other agencies. 3 2001/2002 Grant Application Budget Page (Attachment B) Grant Request Budget Financial Commitment & Matching Fundsl Resources Total Project Budget Personnel Services: Salaries and Wages (1) Staff Benefits (2) SUB-TOTAL Number of Positions 1$ Environmental Environmental $ Project Assitant 'p r 0 je c t s Assltanf --_..~- $16/hr X 80hrs -- ----.- 16/hr X 240hrs --...--- =$1280 =$ 3840 22% X 1280 281.bV 22% X 3840-$844.80 $ u 1561.60 $ 4684.80 $ 6 one one 0 246.40 ne Operating Costs (4) $ $ $ Banners Ory 8 800.00 800.00 AdvertisinQ siqn 6VO.00 . 600.00 Janitorial.Service 5V,VVV.vo 30,000.00 1500hrs@ 20.00/hr ~--- Printino Survevs 4000.00 4,000.00 Liners for bins 600.00 600.00 Incentives Visors QTY 200 168.00 168.00 I'~n "~I~Qr- ()TY 'i() 54.50 --~- ?4.?V ". .Lo+"tA' ary 300 186.00 186.00 40-varo ro II off ~, 118.75 bi 118.75 -___.__0-'- , , .3-yard bins QTY 2 1000.00 1000.00 SUB-TOTAL $ 6518.75 --p- 31008.50 $ "7-521.'2 :2 TOTAL BUDGET $ 70. 49-LJL;3 $ 35693.30 1$ 56190.33 (1) For each position, include classification, hourly rate and total number of hours to be worked (2) Benefits not to exceed 32 percent of salaries and wage, (3) Indicate the total number of units to be purchased and Y< J,-( unit Also include sales tax, shipping/delivery, and other fees.
