CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
MEETING DATE OF MAY 7TH, 2013
THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE, ARKANSAS
Subject: Resolution Authorizing Application for a 2013 ADEQ Recycling Grant through the Boston Mountain Solid
Waste District for $30,000 for Indoor Apartment Recycling Containers.
RECOMMENDATION
Fayetteville City Administration recommends authorizing application for a 2013 Arkansas Department of Environmental
Quality (ADEQ) recycling grant though the Boston Mountain Solid Waste District for $30,000 for purchasing indoor
apartment recycling containers.
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 pre applications and submits them to their Grant Committee for review. ADEQ no longer
requires a signature from the Mayor for the pre application process.
DISCUSSION
This grant will be used to purchase indoor apartment recycling bins or bags for use in apartment complexes that are
participating in the Cities apartment recycling program. The City received grants in 2011 and 2012 for outdoor recycling
containers at apartments. Staff is currently engaged in a Solid Waste and Recycling Plan that has a goal of providing 30%
of the apartment complexes in Fayetteville with recycling service by 2015. These indoor containers will facilitate the
recycling efforts by giving apartment residents containers that can be used to store recycling materials until they are taken
to the outside containers on site. This effort will help in the educational process of teaching recycling habits to apartment
residents.
Agreements with the Apartment owners and managers will make the replacement of lost or stolen containers the
responsibility of the apartment complexes. These costs can be recovered through deposit fees secured through rental
agreements. Forty six tons of recyclables were collected through the apartment program in 2012.
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.
