INTERNAL OPERATIONS COMMITTEE
DATE: May 9, 1988
Coirty
SUBJECT: White Paper Recycling Program
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) •OR RECOMMENDATIONS) & .BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:'
Request the County Administrator to determine from the Purchasing
Agent the 'cost Of using recycled paper versus the cost of
purchasing new paper, including determining whether purchasing
recycled paper ,through the State .would be cost-beneficial. Once
this information is , obtained the County Administrator should
report this information back to our Committee with the request
from the , Community Development Department to expand the white
paper recycling program to West County.
BACKGROUND:
As a part of our periodic review of recycling programs in the
County, .. the Community Development Department reported to our
Committee May 9, 1988 on the status of the white paper recycling
program. The Community Development Department has identified six
additional County buildings in West County that are considered
viable locations to which the white paper recycling program could
be expanded. However, to accomplish this -expansion would require
an additional County General Fund appropriation of $7,600 per
year.
Our Committee. was advised by staff from the Community Development
Department that the County currently does not purchase recycled
paper because it .is more expensive than new or unrecycled paper.
Before deciding whether or not it is cost-effective to expand the
white paper recycling program, 'we would like to explore the
feasibility of using recycled paper in County offices and have,
therefore, made the above recommendation.
