Agenda Item

The Department of Public Works operates self-serve waste Ag Oil and Public Used Oil Collection sites at the Neal Road Recycling and Waste Facility (NRRWF) and the Biggs/Gridley Public Works locations. Waste oil collection recycling costs are entirely funded by the CalRecycle Used Oil Payment Program. The program also funds public outreach materials and participation fees; K-12 in classroom education; public outreach to civic groups and general public; all educational supplies such as recycled shop rags, oil drain pans, and chlorine testing kits; and advertisements for billboards, radio, television, and online. The regional participants include the County of Butte, the City of Oroville, the City of Gridley and the City of Biggs. The program usually provides approximately $35,000 per year for both collection and public outreach activities. The Department recommends approval of a resolution authorizing the submittal of the program. (Public Works)
