Continued support and education/ outreach are vital to boosting WRR and dropping contamination levels,especially now with current restrictions on export under China's Blue Sky initiative. 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$68,420.00 LSWFA funding,more specifically by: Activity:Increasing WRR at Multi-family Properties The RECIPIENT will track contact with and provide technical assistance for an estimated 50 multi-family property owners to encourage them to organize new WRR programs at their properties.The RECIPIENT will build upon previous multi-family and public-place-recycling work from other local municipalities and apply documented best practices to ensure the highest likelihood of success. New recycling,garbage,and compost guidelines were developed in partnership with Rubatino Refuse Removal(final in January,2018). These along with other pertinent outreach materials,multi-lingual pieces where appropriate,will be distributed to residents in multi-family properties. The RECIPIENT will note a return to the requirement for ECOLOGY review before printing promotional or other materials to be paid for by monies granted under this Agreement.The full text of this requirement can be found in Proviso#18 under 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.The RECIPIENT will provide technical assistance in placing and using these containers at events,requesting the coordinators 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 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 of 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.
