Subject: Recycling Programs
Attached is a memorandum from Frankie Riddle relative to her investigation into
recycling at City-owned housing complexes. As you can see, four of the seven
properties currently have no bins for recycling; the three that do offer recycling do not
currently have adequate bins.
Frankie will continue working with Waste Management to come up with a resolution to
these deficiencies. She is also working with College of the Desert to establish an
improved program there and is doing so with a grant application.
Since this is a City Council follow-up, would you like it to be agendized for information at
a future eeting? as let me know.

Re: City Council Folk ip of April 12, 2001
Terre La Rocca and I will be meeting next week to conduct site visits of each of the
complexes to determine the extent to which the existing recycling programs are being
utilized and the needs of those complexes that require implementation of a recycling
program.
In order to promote active recycling efforts and to implement new programs there will be
articles placed in the monthly tenant newsletter as well as other efforts to increase
tenant awareness or recycling and the benefits of recycling. Staff will also work with
Waste Management of the Desert to implement new recycling programs.
A more detailed follow up report will be provided in regards to the progress of the
implementation of new recycling programs at City owned complexes.
