Subject: Used Oil Grant Program January 14, 1997
Summary: The collection of used oil is a part of the City's Integrated Waste
Management Program and aids the City program to prevent
pollution of storm water runoff in the City. The promotion of at least
seven collection locations and a school calendar contest are the
next steps in this program.
Last year the City Council approved our participation in an application to the
California Integrated Waste Management Board for a grant to establish Used Oil
Collection Centers in the city. This grant was in cooperation with the cities of
Baldwin Park and La Puente. The promotion of these collection centers and the
program are the next steps toward implementation. The Waste Management
and Environmental Quality Commission recommends City Council continue to
support the program. This may be done by authorizing the Mayor to send a
letter to our schools and businesses to encourage their participation in the
school calendar contest.
Attached is a copy of the report to the Commission on this matter. It is expected
they will act on this report on Thursday, January 16. Staff will report on their
action at the City Council meeting. Staff is taking this approach because we will
be contacting the schools and businesses beginning the last week of January.
This will allow us to promote the used oil collection centers in March and begin
the calendar contest in mid -April
Without reiterating the Commission report, the Commission and. staff are
requesting the City Council support the program by:
• Authorizing the Mayor -to send a letter to the schools in the City to encourage
them to participate in the calendar program.
Authorizing the Mayor to send a letter to the Chamber of Commerce and
businesses in the City encouraging them to help provide prizes for the
calendar contest.
Options
The options available to the City Council include the following:
• . Have th=T airperson of the Waste Management and Environmental Quality
Commission send letters. Staff expects the Commission to authorize the
Chairperson to do so.
• Have City Staff to send such letters.
• Direct the Commission and the staff not to send any letters.
While these are. available options, staff believes letters need to be sent from the
City. It is a City Council decision as to who should send them.
Recommendation
It is the recommendation of the Waste Management and Environmental Quality
Commission and staff that the City Council continue their support of the Used Oil
Collection Program by:
1. Authorizing the Mayor to send a letter to the schools in the City to encourage
them to participate in the calendar program.
2. Authorizing the Mayor to send a letter to the Chamber of Commerce and
businesses in the City encouraging them to help provide prizes for the
calendar contest. ;

FROM: Environmental Services Staff January 13, 1997
SUBJECT: USED OIL GRANT PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION
SUMMARY: As part of the. City's Integrated Waste Management Program,
staff is providing an update on the status the Used Oil
Collection Grant. Seven used motor oil collection centers have
been certified and ;promotional activities, including a calendar
contest, will commence in March, 1997.
BACKGROUND
A part of the City's Integrated Waste Management Program and the Storm
Water Runoff Program is diversion of used motor oil from landfills and storm
drains, respectively. The California Integrated Waste Management Board
granted the cities of West Covina, Baldwin Park, and La Puente a joint Used
Oil Collection Grant in July, 1996. As of January 13, 1997 seven used
motor oil collection centers have been certified in West Covina and nine
more businesses have pending applications. The City will begin promoting
the Used Oil Collection Center Network at events throughout the City
beginning -in March, 1997.
An educational and promotional element of the grant is a calendar contest
for fifth graders. Fifth graders will be invited to submit art work based on
motor oil recycling themes and compete for prizes. The contest for the 1998
calendar is scheduled in April to coincide with Earth Day. Published
calendars will be distributed to schools and at promotional events. Another
promotional item will be a fact. sheet, draft attached, which may include
coupons and educational slogans on the other side.
The next step is for the consultant, who is implementing the program for the
three cities, to contact elementary schools in West Covina to obtain their
participation in the calendar program. Since the prizes for the contest are
not funded by the grant, the consultant will also be contacting local
businesses to solicit donations for prizes to be distributed to the school
children. The intent is to give something to every child who participates.
Other prizes or recognition could be provided by the Chamber of Commerce.
Businesses sponsoring the program will be recognized in the calendar.
Staff recommends that the Commission support these efforts to promote the
used motor oil collection program and calendar contest at local schools and
businesses. It is recommended that the Commission chairperson send a
letters to schools, local businesses,and the Chamber of Commerce
requesting their participation. It is also recommended that the ,06mmission
request that the City .Council support the calendar contest and/r"equest the
Mayor send. letters requesting school and local business support.
