October 12, 1987 Costa 90U* White Paper Recycling Program and Integration wit erna suBJ�cT; Operations Committee SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION RECOMMENDATION 1. Request the General Service Department to reinstate the white office paper recycling program. 2. Abolish the Resources Committee and direct the Internal Operations Committee to have a monthly agenda item to discuss solid waste and other resource matters. FINANCIAL IMPACT Reinstatement of the white office paper recycling program will result in an additional labor cost to be borne by the General Services Department. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION%BACKGROUND The County White Office Paper Recycling Program has been in existence for several years. It has grown from a pilot program in the County Administration Building to serving most of the County buildings in the Martinez and the Stanwell complex in Concord. Recently, the General Services Department has ceased separate collection of the white paper. The Committee feels that continuation of the white office paper recycling program is important and that the General Services Department should resume separate collection. The General Services Department should attempt to reduce collection cost as much as possible, but continue the program. If the County is to continue encouraging other local governmental agencies and business to increase recycling efforts it is important that the County implement its own recycling programs. In an effort to reduce duplication of staff efforts and to better coordinate meeting schedules the Resource Committee recommends that the Committee be abolished and combined with the Internal Operations Committee. The same Board Members serve on both committees. The Internal Operations Committee should schedule a set time at one of their monthly meetings to discuss solid waste and other resource related items.
