RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING A.FUNDING REQUEST FOR THE
CALRECYCLE USED OIL PAYMENT PROGRAM
Public Works
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council adopt a resolution authorizing a funding request for the CalRecycle Used Oil
Payment Program.
BACKGROUND
For the past several years, the.California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB) has
awarded annual block grant funding to local jurisdictions to assist municipalities with promoting
Used Oil and Used Oil Filter Recycling Programs. In 2010, the CIWMB was abolished by the
State Legislature and a new department, CalRecycle, was formed. The new department is within
the California Natural Resources Agency and administers programs formerly managed by the
CIWMB. CalRecycle has established a Used Oil Payment Program (OPP) in lieu of the former
Used Motor Oil Block Grant. The goals and characteristics of the new program are the same and
the reporting requirements have been streamlined. Staff will continue to apply for funding
through the new OPP to pay for the continuation of our existing programs and outreach.
These programs benefit the environment by educating Do -It -Yourself (DIY) oil changers of the
dangers of improper disposal (dumping oil down the stormdrain or in the trash) of their oil and
filters. The funds also assist cities with the costs associated with the promotion of State Certified
Collection Center locations and help pay for door-to-door collections made by operators that are
permitted to accept oil and filters from residents. During 2009, Used Oil Grant funds helped
cover the costs of over 124 door-to-door collections that were responsible for recycling over
1,484 gallons of motor oil and 219 oil filters by providing DlYers with a safe and convenient
means to recycle their oil.
Ad*W'g`m.ltrss
Beginning in 2006, in an effort to work collaboratively with the City's business community, staff
partnered with Curbside, Inc., to begin collection of used oil and filters from small businesses
categorized by the State Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) as Conditionally
Exempt Small Quantity Generators (CESQGs - pronounced "squeegies"). As in the past, the
costs associated with oil filter collection from CESQGs will continue to be covered by the new
OPP.
Based on information presented by CalRecycle, City staff is recommending the City Council to
adopt the resolution that will remain in effect until rescinded by the City Council. The resolution
will expedite the payment process of the Used Oil Payment Program (OPP) for this fiscal year
and for future years.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Other action as determined by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
Staff anticipates receiving approximately $20,000 per year from the OPP.
