E) Task Performance Objectives:

households per event and publicize the event through King County promotional
activities, including County websites and telephone assistance. The City anticipates
collecting 25 -35 tons of material from the local waste stream per year.
The benefits expected by the collection of these materials will be to divert them from
the waste stream and process them for recycling. The event will also provide an
opportunity to recycle moderate risk waste. The King County Health Department, the
City of Tukwila, and Washington State Department of Ecology will pay for event
expenses as well.

F) Task Impact Objectives:
By hosting Recycling Collection Events, Tukwila can reduce the amount of
recyclable material finding their way to the local landfill. The City of Tukwila has a
population of approximately 18, 200 residents. The City expects, based on past
events, that 400 -450 households will actively participate each year by bringing
recyclable materials to the event for proper disposal and recycling. This will result in
25 -35 tons of material diverted from the local waste stream for recycling per year.
In addition to diverting materials from the City waste stream, attracting residents to
events provides an opportunity to distribute educational material on City and King
County recycling programs. The educational materials can enhance the knowledge of
residents and improve behavior in purchase, handling, and disposal of recyclable
materials.

e. Program /Project Specifics
1) Performance Objectives:
Business Outreach/Technical Assistance
The City of Tukwila will provide technical assistance to help businesses with starting or
improving recycling programs, waste prevention and purchase of recycled products either by e-
mail, telephone, mail or on -site visits.
A Business Recycling and Waste Prevention Specialist (consultant to the City of Tukwila) will
respond when firms request assistance. We expect to generate requests for recycling assistance by
including information about City- sponsored recycling programs in business license mailings in
2010 and 2011. This will reach all 2000 firms who operate in Tukwila. We will also maintain
Business Recycling information on the City of Tukwila website.
We also plan to target the property managers to initiate and maintain assistance in recycling,
waste prevention, and procurement of recycled content products. We may also focus on
assistance for specific industries or types of businesses, especially any that are identified by King
County's Business Recycling program. We will work again Westfield Shoppingtown Center
Southcenter in 2010 -2011 assist after their recent expansion. We will continue to our focus on
in -house programs to improve recycling, waste reduction and environmentally preferable
purchasing practices in City of Tukwila facilities. We plan to work with the Parks and
RF Page 4 of 8 12/15/2009
P: \SWPublic \KSC Public \RES \WRR Grant lnfo\2010 -2011 \Scopes \tukwscope.doc
Recreation Department to initiate recycling during events, and as a pilot program at a selected
park.
In addition to telephone, e-mail, mail or on -site assistance, we will continue our recognition
program to highlight outstanding business recycling programs throughout Tukwila "Tukwila
Green Works" and "Tukwila Business Recycler of the Year We will also provide businesses
with informational materials promoting non residential recycling, including stickers for
containers. If other opportunities arise, we will adjust the work plan for greatest effectiveness.
Timely, scheduled telephone follow -up will be provided for all businesses reached for technical
assistance either by the staff project manager or the consultant.
We will assist businesses with recycling, waste prevention and purchasing of recycled content
goods, and, when possible, also furnish information about conserving other resources used in typical
business activities. By contacting companies directly with individualized information and by
following up with them, we hope to prepare and motivate businesses to improve their solid waste
behaviors.
We will coordinate our technical assistance activities with the Allied Waste and other area
recyclers, as well as with King County's Business Recycling Program by working with any
Tukwila business that has been referred by the County. As appropriate, we will make most
efficient use of resources by participating in the County's industry- or topic- specific campaigns.
Promotion/Education
We plan to promote non residential recycling and waste prevention by through a variety of
activities, including:
Updating recycling information on Tukwila's website
Property manager outreach events
Informational materials promoting non residential recycling, including an e- newsletter, case
studies, informational stickers, handout for use with janitorial companies
"Tukwila Green Works" program to recognize outstanding business performance.
"Tukwila Business Recycler of the Year" award to stimulate interest in recycling
Purchase, distribute additional recycled content promotional materials (i.e. pens, pencils)
Update and distribute "Tukwila Business Recycling Guide" in 2010 and 2011
Purchase and distribute desk side containers to encourage businesses to begin or upgrade
recycling efforts
Promotional and educational activities may also include general information on resource
conservation. We anticipate that promoting resource conservation along with recycling /waste
prevention and "buy recycled" messages will enable more businesses to benefit from our
technical assistance services.
We will coordinate our promotion/education activities with the County as appropriate, including:
use the County's program materials, and
participate County promotional activities /advertising, including "Take it Back" network.
2) Impact Objectives:
At least two editions "Tukwila Business Recycler" distributed to 2,000 Tukwila companies
via business license renewal mailings to give information about recycling resources and
generate requests for technical assistance.

a. Project Manager Rebecca Fox
b. Consultant We will work with Allied Waste to distribute materials. We may also

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