SCOPE OF WORK Task Number: 1 Task Cost: $96,184.00 Task Title: Residential Recycling/Waste Prevention Task Description: The RECIPIENT is aware that waste reduction and recycling (WRR)in the multi-family sector, in public spaces and at public events can be improved,and that recycling contamination rates remain high. Continued support and education/outreach are vital to boosting WRR and dropping contamination levels. Oversight of local collection practices is also needed to ensure effective communications and services are provided,and that collected materials are handled properly. To these ends,the RECIPIENT will focus its LSWFA funding towards: Activity: Increasing WRR at Multi-family Properties The RECIPIENT will track contact with and provide technical assistance for multi-family property owners to encourage them to organize new or improve the existing WRR programs on their properties,building upon previous multi-family work.The new recycling,garbage, and compost guidelines developed in partnership with Rubatino Refuse Removal(final in January,2018) along with other pertinent outreach materials, creating multi-lingual pieces where appropriate,will be distributed to residents. Should new promotional or other materials be required, the RECIPIENT agrees to obtain an ECOLOGY review before printing them, if those costs are charged to this Agreement. The full text of this requirement can be found in Provision#19 in the General Terms and Conditions below. Activity: Public Events Recycling The RECIPIENT will also promote and expand its ClearStream recycle container check-out program, especially to special event coordinators,providing technical assistance in placing and using these containers at events, in addition to requesting the coordinators to track and report back the amount of material deposited in these containers as part of the check-in process.The RECIPIENT will compile and report back these data to ECOLOGY in the Progress Report accompanying the Payment Request for the event expenses. Activity: Public Areas Recycling The RECIPIENT will track the number of sidewalk containers and users by working closely with the Downtown Everett Association to map containers and adjust locations to the most effective areas. The RECIPIENT will evaluate recycling increases in existing containers by comparing current and previous collection amounts,while contributions from new containers may be directly added as an increase. Numbers and types of outreach materials will be reported when staff time for marketing/ outreach/educational activities is to be paid as part of this Agreement. The RECIPIENT will work with local collection providers to encourage the standardization of curbside services,ensure recycling instructions are provided annually, and verify that collected materials are handled properly. ECOLOGY now requires the RECIPIENT verify,to the best of their knowledge, that materials handled under this Task as recyclables are,in fact, recycled and not disposed.
