The City’s FY 2023-24 funding allocations are anticipated to total $17,446.
BACKGROUND
CalRecycle administers a program to provide opportunities for local governments and other eligible jurisdictions to receive payments for various activities associated with beverage container recycling and removal. The City has received funding from the Beverage Container Grant payment program for the last eighteen years. The City’s allocation from the program for FY 2023-24 is anticipated to be $17,446. The funding will be utilized to replace existing beverage container collection receptacles (mixed waste containers) that have outlived useful lives in City parks and along public sidewalks.
Funding is also requested to purchase a water refill station for installation in a City park. The grant funding will help the City meet program goals to reduce the number of beverage containers in the waste stream and to capture these items when not recycled by consumers.
