Proposed Project Description and Goals (24 Points)
Cleary describe the project and goals. The responses must explain how the proposed project provides convenient beverage container recycling opportunities in California.
Note: Scores in this section will be multiplied by two, for a maximum score of 24.
1. Describe the proposed beverage container recycling project in detail to include the type of infrastructure/equipment and the amount needed to implement the project (e.g., beverage container recycling bins, water refill stations, baler, vehicles, litter abatement, and cleanup projects along the United States and Mexico border, etc.) . Ensure all information is consistent with what is included in the Grants Management System (i.e., Detail tab, Budget tab, Site tab, etc.).
• Note: Out of State beverage containers collected as part of the litter abatement and cleanup projects cannot be funded under this grant program.
The City of Napa (Napa) is requesting funding to establish new water refill stations and enhance existing recycling infrastructure for the collection of beverage containers within our public use areas, which have been reduced to trash only collection due to ongoing contamination and theft. Specifically, we are requesting funds for 1:) the purchase and installation of 20 permanent outdoor beverage recycling containers and 10 water refill stations to be placed throughout Napa’s public parks and recreation ar eas; 2:) the purchase of replacement parts for existing Smart Waste Bigbelly Collection systems, including, solar panels, side panels, and/or doors, and; 3:) the purchase of educational wraps on the new recycling containers to promote source separation of beverage containers and reduce contamination.
Beverage containers and water refill stations will be placed along walkways, adjacent to play structures and next to restrooms within 9 underserved, high traffic locations throughout the Napa community. The number of containers for each identified common way and park has be determined by location size and current annual use data. Funding will cover the purchase and installation of 20 permanent Smart Waste Bigbelly collection bins and 10 water refill stations.
Temporary component costs include installation, hardware, container liners, outreach, and personnel costs. CRV material will be collected, source separated, weighed, and donated back into to the community recycling program on a weekly basis.
The Smart Waste Bigbelly collection systems are durable, theft proof, high capacity, and solar equipped. Their design includes an internal compactor to increase collection capacity five times the standard 55 gallon collection bin, and are equipped with int ernal sensors that provide real time capacity data via email and/or text allowing for collection staff to improve operations and manage costs. Each location equipped with a Smart Waste collection system will reduce collection time by 80% and reduce collect ion costs by 75%, reducing C02 emissions and increasing fuel savings. In addition, the theft proof design eliminates any overflow and/or visible waste issues. The Smart Waste collection system provides the needed high capacity, durable, long -term solution to successfully collect and recycle beverage containers in our community common ways and parks (See Attachment 1: Smart Waste Big Belly Collection System).
2. Identify the target audience and geographic area where activities will take place. Target audience includes the population benefiting from the project, residents, visitors, etc.
Geographic area should include project site information and location detail.

Narrative Proposal
Beverage Container Recycling Grant Program, RBC36 (FY 2024–25) and RBC37 (FY 2025–26) 3 Napa was founded in 1847, it is the largest city and the county seat of Napa County with a population of 79,263. As the second-largest city in California's Wine Country, Napa Valley is a primary tourist destination with over 3.85 million visitors coming through and using our public facilities each year. The surrounding area includes the towns of Yountville, Oakville, Rutherford, St. Helena and Calistoga and outlying areas that are collectively referred to as the Napa Valley and constitute an additional 14,712 residents. The City of Napa Parks and Recreation Services Department provides residents with access to more than 54 parks that cover 800 acres of park land. The City’s park system consists of a variety of recreation attractions, such as parks, open space, playgrounds, sport fields, a golf course, the Napa River, Lake Hennessey and miles of natural and paved trails for walking, biking and hiking. In addition to parkland resources, the Parks and Recreation staff maintains over 21 acres of landscaped areas throughout the city
3. Identify any project partner (i.e., governmental agencies, businesses, and organizations and describe their role in implementing the proposed project). If no project partner is required, explain why. Identify any or all in-house staff role in the implementation of the proposed project.
Napa Recycling and Waste Services (NRWS), Napa's franchise waste and recycling hauler, will provide beverage container collection bins located at Napa Corporation Yard for all beverage container material collected from the public use areas. NRWS will service the bins weekly and weigh the collected material. NRWS has been the franchise hauler for the City of Napa for the last 17 years, together we have successful reached our City's 75% diversion goals as well as the State's.
Arbuckle Consulting is the contracted grant manager for Napa’s Recycling Grant and will oversee the grant administration including data collection, reporting and payment requests for the project. Arbuckle Consulting specializes in developing and implementing recycl ing programs and grant administration and has extensive experience in both public and private sectors, with 18 years of experience with designing and implementing recycling programs. Napa is confident all objectives will be met over the course of the grant life.
4. Describe the project goals and objectives. It must be clear, quantifiable, measurable, and achievable, in supporting the proposed grant project. Identify the goals and objectives to be accomplished before the grant term ends.
• For example: with water refill station projects, provide an estimate on the number of single use water bottles diverted from the waste stream.
The primary project goal is to establish new water refill stations and enhance the existing recycling infrastructure to increase beverage container recycling and stop contamination and theft. Napa will establish a new water refill stations and expand its current technology-based beverage container collection program throughout the community.
Objective 1: Purchase 20 dual sided beverage container recycling bins, installation materials, and equipment with the capacity to collect approximately 3,000 lbs. of CRV beverage containers for recycling per week (72.28 tons annually); serving approximate ly 93,000 Napa Valley residents and millions of tourists that come through our community annually.

Please refer to the Work Plan for a timeline of activities.
Need (12 Points)
Clearly describe in detail why the project should be funded.
1. Describe the existing beverage container recycling program and program history for the area or population focused on or served. Include California Redemption Value (CRV) materials currently collected, days/hours of operation, program strengths and weaknesses. If there is no existing beverage container recycling program, explain why.
Although the City of Napa’s residential and commercial recycling program has been successful, it is not conducive to Napa’s recreational areas and parks, which require specialized collection to maximize diversion. Napa successfully installed 26 Bigbelly co llection containers in 2022, which helped us reduce ongoing contamination and increase diversion in our parks. However, these 26 units only cover a small portion of our recreation and park areas. The majority of our parks and common areas still have trash only receptacle.
Napa staff currently collects material from MSW and the Bigbelly recycling bins 5 to 7 times per week, collecting approximately 5,700 tons of CRV materials per year from the Bigbelly's. The other "old" recycling containers are collected separately and are put into the bed of a facility truck and taken to the City of Napa's Corporation Yard. Due to the high levels of contamination of the collected material from the mixed recycling bins it is impossible for staff to determine which bags are recycling and whic h are MSW. Thus, 50% of material currently collected from mixed recycling containers are being thrown into the landfill.
A majority of Napa Valley residents and millions of tourists utilize our recreation and park areas on a regular basis, our current mixed recycling collection system makes it impossible for staff to keep up with variable use patterns of

Narrative Proposal
Beverage Container Recycling Grant Program, RBC36 (FY 2024–25) and RBC37 (FY 2025–26) 5 each park, even with everyday pickup and the addition of 20 Bigbelly units, bin overflow is an ongoing problem . This barrier has led to unmanageable contamination and regular overflow of the mixed recycling bins. Our staff does not have the time nor reso urces to go through and source separate out recyclables from the mixed bags of trash and recycling that are currently collected. In addition, the design of the "old" recycling containers allow for easy theft, thus all CRV material is stolen thwarting any i ncentive to put additional staff time and resources into source separating material (see Attachment 2: Collection Bin Pictures).
Usage and collection methods in public spaces are unique from standard curbside collection practices and in order for recycling programs to be successful in public spaces we need to expand our technology based Smart Waste Bigbelly collection program that w ill allow Napa to enhance its public use recycling program in a safe and cost - effective manner that can serve as a model for improving public use recycling programs statewide.
2. Describe in detail the existing beverage container recycling program’s gaps and barriers.
Explain how the grant funds will help address these gaps and barriers (e.g., lack of funding for infrastructure, personnel resources, etc.). Include the current California Redemption Value (CRV) volumes collected and estimate the number of CRV containers to be recycled as a result of this project . If there are no current CRV volumes collected, provide an estimate of the number of CRV containers to be collected for this proposed project. For example, with water refill station projects, provide an estimate of single use water bottles diverted from the waste stream.
The major gap/ barrier of our current community collection program is that we lack additional funding to provide enough technology based Smart Waste Bigbelly collection containers to fulfill all local recreation and park area needs.
Having a funding pool t hat would allow us to expand our recycling collection program focused on stopping theft, reducing contamination, and changing social behavior is a key component to making our public use recycling program successful. Providing Napa with the tools to success fully keep collected material source separated and our community with theft proof/ beverage container only bins can establish a complete collection method that can reduce contamination and promote increased recycling. Combined with a strong outreach and ed ucation platform focused on beverage container recycling, this program would spotlight current behavior throughout Napa and surrounding communities, giving them the information needed to make responsible decisions and providing them with lasting imprints on where and how to go about recycling in their local community.
Currently, the 20 Bigbelly's collect approximately 5,700 lbs. of materials per year, and an additional 20 would double our collection capacity. The addition of the of 10 water refill stations has the potential to save a single use plastic bottle for every 22 oz of water dispensed.
3. Describe the proposed project needs in detail and identify the rationale behind it. • Detail is needed for project need and project rationale.
Enhancing Napa’s public use recycling infrastructure to fit specific onsite needs is an important change that will increase public awareness and keep Napa on track to becoming a fully functional recycling community participating and supporting California’s zero waste efforts. In addition, providing the proper collection bins throughout our community’s high traffic areas is critical to keeping our open spaces litter free and foste ring sustainable behavior so that our parks and recycling programs can thrive. Successful implementation of this project would reach the Napa Valley’s entire community, & the millions of tourists that utilize our parks and attend our events. Increasing our recycling capabilities and educating our community daily bestows the importan ce of reducing our consumption, reusing what we can, & recycling material appropriately.
In addition, installing additional and repairing onsite Smart Waste Bigbelly containers will keep collected material safe and clean assuring proper separation of MSW and beverage container material allowing Napa to stop ongoing theft, reduce contamination and increase recycling by 100% in our common ways and parks.

Re: City of Napa application for Beverage Container Recycling Grant Dear Grant Administrators:
The County of Napa is in full support of the City of Napa application for Beverage Container Recycling Grant. County residents enjoy easy, affordable access to many City facilities, including both parks and recycling operations. Improvements to City facilities expands opportunities for residents and businesses of the surrounding County. By cooperating with the City, the County is often able to provide a number of public services that it would not be able to on its own.
County residents often enjoy benefits of the City's public infrastructure and facilities. The City hosts a well-developed parks and recreation program that is open to County residents while the County only recently formed its Napa County Regional Parks and Open Space District. Improvements to city recycling and park services have served as templates for expansions to County sites. The County is very interested in this City idea for new recycling system in public spaces.
Resident's use of local parks has exploded during the pandemic, as has the generation of wastes within the parks. This has underscored the need for adequate parks recycling collections, especially for drink containers. The addition of recycling bins that may be serviced efficiently would go a long way toward resolving the existing shortage of recycling in Napa parks while also serving as a model for the parks and open space system now taking shape throughout the region.
Thank you for sponsoring this grant funding program. The County regards this an important opportunity for expansion of both City and County recycling efforts. I urge you to award grant funds to the City of Napa for establishment of a new system of beverage container recycling within the City and a model for the region.
Sincerely,
ft�-Steven E. Lederer
Director

Surpassed all state diversion goals; unincorporated south Napa County has one of the state’s 5 highest diversion rates – the percentage of material recycled or composted is consistently over 80%.
South Napa County has the first full scale commercial food composting program in the North Bay – over 1000 tons of food scraps have been diverted from the landfill since the program’s inception.
Since 2006, Napa Recycling has recycled or composted over 700,000 tons of material. By keeping these valuable resources out of the landfill, we decreased carbon dioxide emissions by nearly 700,000 metric tons and used over 4.5 billion fewer BTUs of energy. To put it in perspective, these savings are the equivalent of saving 54 million gallons of gasoline, helping to fight climate change and reduce our dependency on foreign oil.
Napa Recycling has implemented a comprehensive zero waste special event program that has recycled or compost ed an average of 70% at over 300 Napa County events.
2007 and 2011 surveys of Napa Recycling customers showed satisfaction rate of over 96%..

Napa Recycling works closely with Napa’s wineries, restaurants and resorts to develop cutting-edge, comprehensive zero waste programs – creating models for all others in the hospitality industry.
Napa Recycling is a leader in e-waste recycling - over 1 million pounds of electronics are recycled each year by City and County of Napa residents and businesses.
Consulted with local cork distributors and wineries on development of the ReCORK America program, diverting millions of sustainable wine corks from the landfill.
Thousands of tons of grape pomace from South County wineries are turned into organic compost, which returns to the earth as a valuable soil amendment and closes the loop locally and sustainably.
Visited facilities in Germany to research cutting-edge composting and anaerobic digestion techology Successfully obtained organic listing from the Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI) and California Department of Food & Agriculture (CDFA), as well as the Seal of Testing Assurance (STA) from the United States Composting Council for Napa’s compost.
Designed www.naparecycling.com as a one-stop shop for waste reduction and recycling resources in Napa County, and created a social media presence on Facebook and Twitter.
