BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
CalRecycle offers funding opportunities to help local government entities reduce, recycle and reuse solid waste which preserves landfill capacity and protects public health, safety and the environment. CalRecycle grant application procedures require the applicant governing body adopt a resolution to declare certain authorizations related to CalRecycle grant administration. The resolution would enable the City to apply for all CalRecycle grant program funding opportunities for which it qualifies for a five-year period.
The grant programs available to jurisdictions include financial assistance for food waste prevention, household hazardous waste, tire cleanup, organics and reuse initiatives. City staff continually monitors and pursues grant program opportunities to support City compliance with State-mandated legislative goals.
