Service Provider notices, required by the <br /> WUTC, will be reviewed by the City prior to distribution. The City will <br /> coordinate distribution of educational materials with Service Providers. The <br /> City may provide program information through City newsletters, mailings, and <br /> local newspapers. Additional program promotion may include messages in <br /> garbage utility billing statements and on Everett City buses. <br /> The goal of the program introductory materials will be to explain the program <br /> in a consistent, simple, and concise manner so that further implementation and <br /> follow-up contact is minimal. <br /> B. Site Visits. An introductory letter, produced by the City in cooperation with the <br /> Service Providers, may include a self-addressed return envelope for property <br /> owners/managers to sign up for a site visit and receive technical assistance. <br /> This will allow customers that are eager to recycle to put programs in place as <br /> soon as possible. The City will work with the Service Providers to provide on- <br /> site assistance to multifamily owners during the first six months of program <br /> implementation. This will include soliciting site visits from property <br /> owners/managers. Property owners/managers will be encouraged to schedule <br /> site visits during the first six months of program implementation. <br /> C. Continuous Assistance. Snohomish County has a landfill in Oregon as its back- <br /> up landfill. The City has an Interlocal Agreement to utilize the County system <br /> as the City disposal option. The City will work cooperatively with the County <br /> and the Service Providers to meet recycling program and education <br /> requirements set by the state of Oregon. The requirements include annual <br /> dissemination of recycling education instructions to residents. Annual <br /> instructions are seen as a benefit to the multifamily community due to the high <br /> turnover in multifamily housing management and tenant occupancy. The City <br /> will work with the County and the Service Providers to provide annual <br /> recycling educational instructions. <br /> D. Contamination. The biggest hurdle to multifamily recycling is separation of <br /> materials and assuring that garbage and recyclable materials are separated into <br /> different containers prior to collection. The City will design and produce <br /> recycling information and educational materials that address contamination of <br /> recyclable materials. The information and educational materials produced will <br /> inform residents on how to properly prepare and separate recyclables to avoid <br /> contamination. The City will make reasonable efforts to provide multifamily <br /> building owners and managers with technical assistance on how to minimize <br /> contamination problems. The City will ask the Service Providers to make <br /> reasonable efforts to provide multifamily building owners and managers with <br /> technical assistance on how to minimize contamination problems as well. <br /> The Service Providers will distribute information and educational materials on <br /> the program as directed by the City. The Service Providers will distribute <br /> 6 <br />
