FROM: J. MICHAEL WALFORD, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR Contra
DATE: February 14, 1984 Costa
SUBJECT: Recycling Committee Report County
Specific Requests or Recommendations & Background & Justification
RECOMMENDATION
The Recycling Committee recommends that the Board of Supervisors accept this report.
BACKGROUND
On January 18, 1984, the Recycling Committee met and the following actions occurred.
Mr. Bill Wahbeh, president of Bay Air Environmental made a presentation on their hazardous
waste transfer/storage facility and how it could relate to a household -hazardous waste
clean-up campaign. Staff was directed continue to work on a household hazardous waste
clean-up- campaign and attempt to obtain sponsors for the project.
Staff reported that the white office paper recycling program had recycled approximately
352 tons during the 1983 year which equates to 586 trees. Most of the old yellow note
pads have been used and are being replaced with white recyclable note pads. The staff
predicts a 10 percent increase in the paper recycling because of these new note pads.
Ms. Dianne McSwain, the Energy Incentive Specialist for the County, made a report to the
Recycling Committee and requested that the Committee recommend to the Board that February
be declared Employee Energy Suggestion Program Month (a separate Board Order sent from
the County Administrator's Office).
Sara Hoffman, Energy Coordinator, reported on the progress of the window film project
being conducted under the P.G. & E. rebate program. Eight of the twenty-four buildings
have had window film installed to date. The estimated yearly savings is $21,000 with
a payback in approximately six months.
