3. Task Three: Residential Program <br />Subtask 1.: Multi- Family Recycling Bags <br />a. Project Manager Rebecca Fox <br />b. Consultant We will work with Allied Waste to distribute materials. We may also <br />work with a consultant to prepare multi- family education program materials. <br />c. Schedule <br />Subtask 1: Bags to be distributed in 2010 and 2011 <br />d. Goals <br />Subtask 1: <br />Multi- family Recycling Bags: Increase awareness of and participation in <br />recycling among multi family residents by providing convenient collection bags <br />and education materials. <br />e. Program /Project Specifics <br />1) Background/History <br />Subtask l: <br />Approximately 55% of Tukwila's housing stock is multi family development. It has been <br />challenging to maintain effective multi family recycling programs due to frequent tenant <br />turnover, lack of incentive for recycling, inconvenience and lack of space for recycling. <br />We plan to offer the recycling bags initially as an incentive to encourage managers to <br />subscribe to recycling service, and tenants to recycle. After using the bags as an incentive for <br />new signups, we plan to offer the bags to as many developments as possible that currently <br />recycle. Educational materials will also be provided with the bags. By providing <br />educational materials along with attractive, convenient bags free of charge we hope to <br />encourage recycling and to educate residents about the benefits of recycling in their <br />apartments. <br />Task Performance Objectives: <br />Subtask 1: Over the grant period, the City will purchase recycled plastic recycling <br />bags and make them available to managers of multi family complexes for their residents. <br />The City will publicize the bag distribution through Allied Waste, through our City <br />newsletter, and on the City website and Allied website. We will coordinate a multi family <br />recycling "message" with Allied Waste. Education is especially important, so along with the <br />bags, the City will also prepare and distribute educational materials with a multi family <br />recycling focus. <br />Impact Objectives <br />Subtask 1: <br />Distribution of recycled plastic recycling bags and educational materials to managers <br />representing approximately one -half of Tukwila's multi family residential complexes <br />and residents. <br />RF Page 7 of 8 12/15/2009 <br />P: \S WPublic\KSC_Public\RES \WRR Grant Info\2010 -2011 \Scopes \tukwscope.doc <br />
