SUBJECT: Household Hazardous Waste Activities STa coux`�
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION
Commend the Joint Household Hazardous Waste Committee for all of
their efforts in implementing the Household Hazardous Waste Plan,
and endorse the Committee' s efforts to organize, publicize and
conduct a Household Hazardous Waste Collection Day scheduled for
June 9, 1990.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
None; Assembly Bill 2448 (Statutes of 1987 ) provides that the
California Integrated Waste Management Board reimburse counties
for costs incurred by the Household Hazardous Waste Collection
Day.
BACKGROUND
Providing residents with collection, recycling and disposal
options for household hazardous waste is an issue at the
forefront of public concern, and is being addressed by the
Hazardous Materials Commission and the Solid Waste Commission
through the Joint Committee on Household Hazardous Waste. The
Committee is in the process of implementing Phase I of the
Household Hazardous Waste Plan, which will provide collection and
recycling options for used oil, latex paint and car batteries.
The Committee is working to establish a pilot program for
collecting used oil at marinas in Antioch. It is hoped that this
project will be a model for other marinas, particularly those in
the east part of the County. In addition, the Committee is
developing an incentive program to encourage more service
stations to accept used oil from the public.
The Committee is also planning a Household Hazardous Waste
Collection Day, which is scheduled for June 9, 1990 . There will
be four locations in the County ( in the East, West,
North-Central, and South-Central areas) , which will accept used
oil, latex paint and car batteries.
