School programs Proposed funding: Orange County Sanitation budget allocation Proposed implementation: FY 2000-01 Phase 1. Mobile and Stationary Billboards Motorists, passengers and pedestrians observe solid waste collection vehicles as part of their daily life. ' Orange County Sanitation Division proposes using collection vehicles as mobile educational billboards. E. year, the County's two collection vehicles, combined, travel approximately 50,000 miles throughout the county Orange County proposes the fabrication of educational signs to promote differing aspects of waste managemE waste reduction, reuse and recycling. The signs would then be mounted on three sides of the County's new collection vehicle, each sign being 48" x 80". ,Railings would be installed on the collection vehicle accommodate mounting and to allow frequent change out of signs in order to keep the messages `fresh'. The signs would also be utilized as stationary billboards by placing them at community events. Frames would fabricated to accommodate mounting. The signs mounted would be used to: 1. Encourage greater participation in existing programs • Rural curbside -tonnages have declined sign'rficantly with correlated increases at the SWCC's • Salvage sheds -available only at three drop-off sites • Mixed paper and cardboard -available only at drop-off sites; (i.e., recycle holiday wrapping paper) 2. Promote reoccurring events • HHW Gollection - 1 S` Saturday of each month, March -November • Paint Exchange -~ 1 g` Saturday of each month, March -- November • Telephone book recycling 3. Promote successes • Tons recycled for a given period • Benchmarks towards achieving waste reduction goals 4. Educate • Junk mail termination • Wise shopping - 5 R's, reduce, reuse, recycle, reject and respond • Air emissions reduction, pollution prevention and resource reduction by carpooling, bicycling, walk and public transportation • Litter prevention and control The signs proposed are shown in English, however, bilingual signs would also be fabricated. An English s would be placed on one side of the collection vehicle and a bilingual on the other side. See attachment I.
