RESOLUTION FOR THE CALIFORNIA INTEGRATED WASTE
MANAGEMENT BOARD USED OIL RECYCLING BLOCK GRANT
PLANNING AND BUILDING SERVICES
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council adopt a Resolution for the California Integrated Waste Management Board
Used Oil Recycling Block Grant for the 2002/2003 fiscal year in the amount of $70,548 for
the collection of used oil and further authorizing staff to apply for future Used Oil Recycling
Block Grants for the next five years.
BACKGROUND
The California Oil Recycling Enhancement Act mandates the California Integrated Waste
Management Board (CIWMB) to provide annual block grants to cities, counties, and Joint
Powers Authorities in an effort to increase used oil and filter recycling. The CIWMB
determines the amount of funds awarded on a per capita basis. This year the City of Santa
Clarita is eligible for $70,548.
The City seeks to apply for the grant to fund the collection of used oil and filters in the
City's door-to-door household hazardous waste collection program. Through the program
the City uses Curbside, Inc., for the door-to-door collection of household hazardous waste
along with used oil and filters. Curbside collects the materials free of charge to the
residents and charges the City $60 in grant funds per collection. As an in-kind service
Curbside will also collect antifreeze, batteries, and paint while collecting the used oil and
filters. Curbside charges the City an additional fee for oil-based paints and miscellaneous
household hazardous wastes due to the increased difficulty of recycling or disposing of the
materials.
Historically, the City has received Used Oil Block Grant funds from the CIWMB since 1993.
Through the CIWMB's program the City has received a total of $354,184 in Used Oil Grant
funds. All Used Oil Grant funds have been used for funding the City's door-to-door used oil
collection program.
The CIWMB will provide 90% ($63,493) of the grant funds once the application has been
approved and processed. Upon completion of the program and submittal of the final Used
Oil Recycling Grant Report the CIWMB will submit the final 10% ($7,055) of the grant.
