BACKGROUND Each year the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality issues recycling grants through local Solid Waste Districts to help fund recycling programs. The City has benefited from these grants in the past. The Boston Mountain Solid Waste District compiles the grant applications and submits them to the Solid Waste Board for approval at their August Board meeting. In 2009, the City received a $47,250 grant to fund the purchase of half of the bins needed for the site. DISCUSSION This grant would be used to purchase the remaining recycling containers utilized in a new West Side recycling drop off facility. The site is proposed to be located on Broyles Road near the West Side Wastewater Treatment Plant on City land. This grant would fund the rest of the containers. The West Side recycling drop off is intended as our premier drop off and recycling education facility, integrating all aspects of the proximity too the Woolsey Wet Prairie into a comprehensive sustainability and recycling education site. We intend to incorporate Low Impact Development techniques into the drop off center design as much as possible. The improvements will also include an increase in using volunteers to help maintain the site. BUDGET IMPACT The recycling grant awards are not matching grants, so no City funds are obligated with this request. Upon approval and award of the grant a budget adjustment will be requested to recognize the grant revenue and a capital project will be created.
