In the Matter of Declaring )
Support for Assembly Bill 750 ) RESOLUTION NO. 91/
)
The Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors is committed to
recycling and waste reduction plans and programs in order to meet
the requirements of the California Integrated Solid Waste
Management and Recycling Act (AB 939, 1989) .
Assembly Bill 750 has been introduced by Assembly Member Burt
Margolin and would provide a financial incentive for the collection
for recycling of the more than 325,000 tons of wine and liquor
containers littered and landfilled in California annually. The
total cost to local government in California for the collection and
disposal of wine and liquor bottles is estimated at more than $20
million annually.
In the months since consumer refund values were increased to two-
for-a-nickel under California's beverage container recycling
program, recycling rates have increased significantly. The
enactment of AB 750 will assist Contra Costa County in meeting the
objectives of the California Integrated Solid Waste Management and
Recycling Act.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that, the Board of Supervisors
declares support for Assembly Bill 750.
PASSED AND ADOPTED ON April 23 , 1991, by a unanimous vote of the
Board members present.
