RECOMMENDED ACTION:
To authorize the Chair of the Board to send letters of appreciation and

assisted in the successful Household Hazardous Waste "BOP Drop" collection
event of June 9, 1990 .
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The Hazardous Materials Commission and Solid Waste Commission jointly
organized the "BOP Drop" Household Hazardous Waste collection event at 7
locations in Contra Costa County. The event was held on June 9 , 1990, and
proved to be an outstanding success . Several thousand Contra Costa—citizens
participated in the event that collected nearly 2400 car batteries, 16,000
gallons of used motor oil, and 8,000 gallons of latex paint.
Dozens of volunteers from local industries and community organizations, civic
leaders, and concerned individuals worked with the County Health Services
Department and the commissions, to make this event a success . Volunteers
greeted the public, poured oil, scraped paint, controlled traffic, and helped
with other necessary tasks . They worked tirelessly, went home exhausted and
hopefully satisfied in their public service. Particular thanks are due to
businesses and organizations that coordinated this volunteer effort.
Personalized letters are being sent to every volunteer who participated in
the event, however, the Board of Supervisors can directly acknowledge the key
organizations who coordinated the volunteer support.
