SUBJECTt
NEED FOR EXPANDED PUBLIC EDUCATION CAMPAIGN REGARDING PLASTICS
RECYCLING
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) SI BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION'
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Refer to the . P.Lastics Recyc1.ina_1ask
Force to review the need for expanded public education regarding
plastics recycling.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Frustration has been expressed by
many citizens regarding which plastics are recyclable and which are
not. I have received complaints from some who say. they set out
plastics expecting the items to be picked up but they' are left on the
curb. Councilman Taylor Davis of Pittsburg has received similar
complaints . Since regular garbage is picked up first, the left-behind
plastics items are subject to being blown around the yards and
streets . Councilman Davis and I believe a flyer should be developed
for distribution to the public describing which plastics are
recyclable and which plastics are not with some explanation as to why.
We also believe that while this educational effort proceeds, the
"unacceptable plastics" should still. be picked up for disposal.
