SUMMARY: The 2023-2025 Department of Ecology Solid Waste Management - Local Solid Waste Financial Assistance Agreement is a two-year grant that helps fund residential recycling collection events and cleanup of homeless encampments on City-owned property. The grant requires a 25% match from the City, which will be funded by the King County Solid Waste Division's Waste Reduction and Recycling (WRR) grant, the Hazardous Waste Management Program (HWMP) grant, and the Drainage Fund when encampment cleanup takes place on sites owned by the Drainage Utility. Matching funds from the WRR and HWMP grants cannot be used for encampment cleanup; however, Drainage Utility or property-specific funds will be used as matching funds, depending on the site. BUDGET IMPACT: The City will receive $170,307 from the Washington State Department of Ecology, distributed on a cost basis as tasks are completed. The required 25% match of $56,769 will come from the WRR grant, the HWMP grant, project specific funds, or the Drainage Utility Fund as noted in the Summary.

Organics, household hazardous waste(HHW), and other large or hard-to-recycle items will be collected along with'usual'recyclables at a convenient location. Educational materials,which describe how to reduce waste and recycle more using City-sponsored or private sector recycling programs,will also be distributed. Work to be performed: • Organize, stage, and staff the event,including scheduling and paying vendors. • Advertisement of the event. • Distribution of the outreach materials at the event. • Responsible recycling,reusing, or disposing(such as for some hazardous waste)of the collected materials. • Calculating and reporting outcomes of each event to ECOLOGY. Who will perform it: • A contractor,in conjunction with any vendors hired or utilized by said contractor for final management of materials. • RECIPIENT employee intends to be minimally involved,performing basic oversight. This task includes development and distribution of promotional materials in a variety of formats to encourage participation. In accordance with provisions 3 and 19 of the General Terms and Conditions of this agreement,RECIPIENT is encouraged to work with their ECOLOGY grant manager when developing promotional materials, and must provide a draft copy for review and approval ten(10)business days prior to production and distribution of materials. This task will not reimburse costs covered by existing product stewardship organizations (E-Cycle Washington,LightRecycle Washington,PaintCare,Call2Recycle) or for costs covered by new product stewardship organizations that are fully implemented during this agreement period. To be eligible for costs related to materials covered by such programs or materials of a very similar nature(i.e.printers),ensure invoices are itemized in a detailed manner to distinguish eligible from ineligible costs,and clearly indicate the product stewardship program or website similar to such products on event advertisements. RECIPIENT will credit the grant for any revenue received from the collection of fees or commodity sales of items this task is directly supporting. The scope of this task includes performing recycling activities. See Special Terms and Conditions in this agreement. Task Goal Statement: The goal of this task is to decrease resource use and pollution by recycling or responsibly managing discards by holding collection events in a convenient location.

RECIPIENT must track the total costs and total outcomes of the events. RECIPIENT must report only the outcomes achieved with LSWFA support. This is done by calculating what percent of the task's total cost was supported by the Ecology Share plus Recipient Share under this Agreement(the task budget). RECIPIENT should then multiply that percent by the total outcomes and report the resulting outcomes. With the task budget,RECIPIENT estimates, • 14,333 pounds of household hazardous waste properly managed • 60,000 pounds of organics collected • 953,000 pounds of material collected for recycling. • Depending on vendor availability,there is potential to collect items for reuse, so an optimistic 1,000 pounds is estimated to be collected.
