BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
CalRecycle offers cities and counties funding to implement projects and programs for
beverage container recycling and litter reduction activities through the City/County
Payment Program, also known as the Beverage Container Recycling Grant. The goal of
CalRecycle's beverage container recycling program is to reach and maintain an 80 -
percent recycling rate for all California Refund Value (CRV) beverage containers:
aluminum, glass, plastic and bi-metal.
The City has been receiving these funds for the past decade, which have been used to
support parks and right-of-way maintenance programs. The annual funding is
approximately $12,000, and helps to offset General Fund expenditures in the Street
Maintenance Program.
