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.
