Consider Placement of Newspaper Recycling Bins at Monte
Vista Park
BACKGROUND
The newspaper recycling bins were originally located off of Tierra
Rejada Road near the Spring Road intersection. Due to the road
improvements to Tierra Rejada last year, the bins were temporarily
moved to the parking lot at Monte Vista Park. The park was the
closest available site to the former location and provided easy
access to residents using the bins.
After the completion of the Tierra Rejada road widening, the
original location for the bins was not available, so the bins
remained at Monte Vista.
Staff recently investigated other possible locations for the bins
and found none as accessible as the Monte Vista Park location.
Staff presented their findings to the Public Works, Facilities, and
Solid Waste Committee (Councilmembers Montgomery and Wozniak) at
their meeting on August 2, 1994. Rather than remove the bins, the
Committee recommended that the bins be painted, from white to tan,
to make them more aesthetically pleasing. The Committee also
recommended that the hauler's identification information be placed
on the sides of the bins and that the front of the bins be labeled,
"Newspaper Recycling Only."
The hauler servicing the bins (G.I. Rubbish) indicates that an
average of 3,000 pounds of newspapers are deposited in the
recycling bins each week.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Public Works, Facilities and Solid Waste Committee and Staff
recommend that the City Council approve the placement of the
newspaper recycling bins.
