• Describe the goals or outcomes (versus outputs) to be achieved.
(Examples: 1) Change in volume of beverage containers recycled, 2) Change in beverage container recycling awareness.)
The City of Vernon is exclusively industrial. The City has a resident population of only about one hundred. However
the daytime workforce is over 50,000. The City will concentrate on providing beverage container recycling opportunities
for that daytime workforce. The City will install recycling containers at its Civic Center and other public buildings. In
addition, the City will work with local businesses and the Chamber of Commerce to expand recycling opportunities at
local businesses.
The City will also develop a "cleanup day" event, which, using volunteers from the City and local businesses will
identify, and cleanup an area of the City that is highly littered.
Lastly the City will work with the local school to bring recycling awareness assemblies to its students and to setup a can
and bottle recycling program that will be used as a school fundraiser.
• Explain how the projected outcomes will be measured and measurement data collected.
The City will monitor and measure the amounts of recyclables recovered through its City facility and business recycling
programs. Additionally, as part of the proposed litter cleanup event, City staff will attempt to measure what percentage
of the litter collected is made up of easily recycled cans, bottles, and other materials. This data will be used to develop
strategies for further expanding recycling opportunities in the City.
• Has your city/county prohibited the siting of a supermarket site, caused a Yes ONo
supermarket site to close its business or adopted a land use policy that restricts or
prohibits the siting of a supermarket site within its jurisdiction since 1/1/2000? If
yes, please provide an explanation. (Provide a copy of any policy or ordinance
relating to beverage container recycling.)
• Program/Project Evaluation: Briefly describe the outcomes (effectiveness of your project(s) funded in
fiscal year 1999/2000 (first cycle). ( Examples: 1) Change in volume of beverage containers recycled as measured by
pre/post tonnage reports, 2) Change in beverage container recyding awareness as measured by prelpost consumer surveys.)
Judging by feedback from the public and business owners, there has been an increase in public awareness of
litter prevention brought about by the "Don't Litter, Recycle" theme on promotional bottle openers distributed sby
the City, and permanent "No Littering" signs posted on major roadways leading into the City.

Proposed Activities for the 2000-2001 Grant Year
Task #1 — Movie Theater Advertisine
The City of Vemon will join with the City of Huntington Park to develop and place a
number of movie theater screen ads to encourage residents to recycle their Used
Beverage Containers (aluminum cans, and plastic and glass bottles).
These ads will be placed at the Pacific Wamers theater in Huntington Park. These are
the nearest and most centrally located movie theaters for both Huntington Park
residents, many of whom work for businesses located in the City of Vernon, and for
Vernon residents themselves.
The movie theater ads will promote the environmental importance of recycling beverage
containers, the impact improperly disposed containers have on the landscape as litter,
and the fact that these containers can be recycled for cash.
The movie screen ads will be run for approximately 6 months, in two 3-month intervals.
The cost for the movie theater screen ads will be split evenly between the Cities of
Vernon and Huntington Park.
Cost - $1, 000
Task #2 — Recycling Promotional Outreach to Vernon Businesses
The City of Vemon is home to hundreds of commercial and industrial businesses.
These businesses give the City a daytime population of approximately 50,000. The City
sees a great potential among this audience .of Vernon business employees and wants to
reach out to them with the beverage container recycling message.
The City proposes to create a recycling promotional item that will be provided free of
charge to employers in the City for distribution to their employees. The item will be
imprinted with a simple recycling message that reminds the recipient of the importance
of recycling their cans and plastic and glass bottles.
Working with its established network of business contacts in the community, the City will
provide the items to the businesses for distribution at their cafeterias, break rooms,
employee lounges, and at employee picnics, parties, and events.
The promotional item selected will have a minimal cost to allow the City to purchase the
maximum number possible. While the actual item has not yet been selected, possible
promo items include pens, key chains, bottle and can openers, and coasters. The item
ultimately selected will tie-in with the overall recycling goal. To the extent possible, the
selected item will be manufactured using recycled materials.
Cost - $1,500
A - 3
Task #3 — Community Outreach Event
City of Vernon staff will participate at community events in the neighboring communities
to promote the importance of beverage container recycling. This outreach activity will be
coordinated with one or more of the surrounding communities. -
The program will target participation at a wide variety of community events such as Earth
Day celebrations, Cinco de Mayo Festivals, 4th of July community picnics, and other city-
wide events and celebrations.
At these events staff will distribute recycling information, lists of neighborhood recycling
centers, and program promotional materials.
Cost $500
Task #4 — Recyclino Containers for Businesses
The City of Vernon will develop a pilot program to purchase and distribute recycling
containers for use at businesses in the community. These recycling containers will be
designed to be used in cafeterias, break rooms, and employee lounges for the collection
of aluminum cans, and plastic and glass bottles. These containers, mostly generated
from on -site vending machines, will be collected and recycled by the business'.
employees. The funds eamed would either be used to support employee activities or be
donated to a community organization.
The goal of this task is to establish the infrastructure needed to provide beverage
container recycling opportunity where it does not currently exist.
The goal for the first year is to provide recycling containers for 10 businesses in the City.
Each business will be provided with 3 recycling containers of approximately 30-gallons
capacity each. One container each will be provided for aluminum cans, plastic bottles,
and glass bottles. The containers will be marked with decals indicating what material
should go in each. In addition, each container will be marked with a decal with the
program slogan 'Vernon Wants You! To Recycle!"
While the City will provide the containers, all the recycling collection and the processing
of the containers will be the responsibility of the participating businesses.
Cost - $1,000
Task #5 — School Outreach
The City will provide presentations and participation activities to the students of the
Vernon City School as part of their beverage container recycling program. In the past
these presentations had been limited to discussions of household hazardous waste
materials and the damage that they can cause the environment. With the additional
funds from the DOC grant, the presentations will be expanded to discuss can and bottle
recycling and the differing problems these containers can cause.
The recycling presentation will be made in conjunction with an annual calendar contest
that the City sponsors. After the presentation, students are encouraged to create
environmentally themed artwork and enter it in the calendar contest.
A - 4
The winners of the contest are recognized by the City Council and receive awards and
prizes made possible through the sponsorship of local businesses.
Cost - $500
Task #6 - Grant Oversiaht and Administration
The City will use a small portion of the grant funds to hire a consultant to oversee and
coordinate the activities of the grant. The consultant will coordinate all the previously
mentioned tasks and will be responsible for preparing the necessary grant Progress
Reports and Budget Reimbursement Requests.
Cost - $500

The California Department of Conservation (CDC) has announced that,
pursuant to Section 14581 (a) (4) (A) of the California Beverage
Container Recycling Litter Reduction Act, the City of Vernon is
eligible for $10,000 in grant funds for the years 2001-02 and 2002-03.
Due to an ongoing litter problem within the City and neighboring
communities, staff is requesting approval to apply for the grant funds
and utilize them to develop and distribute public information items to
promote recycling. If the CDC approves the grant, the Environmental
Health Department is proposing to retain the services of KJ Services,
their current Used Oil Recycling consultant, using grant funds. It is
hereby recommended that the grant fund application be executed and a
Resolution adopted.

Memo
TO: ABruce V. Malkenhorst, City Administrator
From: Lewis Pozzebon, Director, Environmental Health
Date: 4J9/2002
Re: Request for Approval to Apply for Beverage Container Recycling and Litter Cleanup
Grant Funds
In May, 2000, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 7533 which authorized the City for
the first time to apply for a Beverage Container Grant. As a result of the application, the
California Department of Conservation approved $5,000 grants to the City for 1999-2000
and 2000-2001. We have used the funds to promote and distribute recycling and litter
reduction information to businesses in the City and at the Vernon Elementary School.
The California Department of Conservation has announced that, pursuant to Section
14581(a)(4)(A) of the California Beverage Container Recycling and Litter Reduction Act, the
City of Vernon is eligible for $10,000 in grant funds over fiscal years 2001-02 and 2002-03.
Because litter is an ongoing problem in our city as well as in neighboring communities, we
are proposing to apply for the grant funds and utilize them to develop and distribute public
information items as well as purchase products to promote recycling. The public information
efforts would be similar to those used in the Used Oil Recycling Program that have been
very successful for the last several years.
With your concurrence, I am recommending that the City Council authorize the application
for the Beverage Container Recycling and Litter Reduction grant funds. For your
consideration, I am attaching the completed application which will need your signature, and
a partially edited copy of the previous resolution for reference.
Please note that the application with the City Council resolution must be received by
the Department of Conservation by Tuesday, April 30, 2002. Please have the
documents returned to our department for submission to the Department of
Conservation.
If the Department of Conservation approves the grant, I propose to continue to utilize the
services of KJ Services for the Beverage Container Program.

• Describe the goals or outcomes (versus outputs) to be achieved.
(Examples: 1) Change in volume of beverage containers recycled, 2) Change in beverage container recycling awareness.)
The City of Vernon is exclusively industrial. The City has a resident population of only about one hundred. However
the daytime workforce is over 50,000. The City will concentrate on providing beverage container recycling opportunities
for that daytime workforce. The City will install recycling containers at its Civic Center and other public buildings. In
addition, the City will work with local businesses and the Chamber of Commerce to expand recycling opportunities at
local businesses.
The City will also develop a "cleanup day" event, which, using volunteers from the City and local businesses will
identify, and cleanup an area of the City that is highly littered.
Lastly the City will work with the local school to bring recycling awareness assemblies to its students and to setup a can
and bottle recycling program that will be used as a school fundraiser.
• Explain how the projected outcomes will be measured and measurement data collected.
The City will monitor and measure the amounts of recyclables recovered through its City facility and business recycling
programs. Additionally, as part of the proposed litter cleanup event, City staff will attempt to measure what percentage
of the litter collected is made up of easily recycled cans, bottles, and other materials. This data will be used to develop
strategies for further expanding recycling rtunities in the City.
• Has your city/county prohibited the siting of a supermarket site, caused a Yes NNo
supermarket site to close its business or adopted a land use policy that restricts or
prohibits the siting of a supermarket site within its jurisdiction since 1/1/2000? If
yes, please provide an explanation. (Provide a copy of any policy or ordinance
relating to beverage container recycling.)
Program/Project Evaluation: Briefly describe the outcomes (effectiveness of your project(s) funded in
fiscal year 1999/2000 (first cycle). (Examples. 1) Change in volume of beverage containers recycled as measured by
pre/post tonnage reports, 2) Change in beverage container recycling awareness as measured by pre/post consumer surveys.)
Judging by feedback from the public and business owners, there has been an increase in public awareness of
litter prevention brought about by the "Don't Litter, Recycle" theme on promotional bottle openers distributed sby
the City, and permanent "No Littering" signs posted on major roadways leading into the City.
