Grant Project Number 08=04-G10 Fort Worth Recycling Block Parties/Fieldtrips Project
Attachment A. Work Program and Schedule of Deliverables
The City of Fort Worth will implement the Time to Recycle Goal of the Regional Solid Waste Management
Plan by hosting Recycling Block Parties and Trash Trail field trips in order to decrease the
amount of recycling contamination and increase diversion. Contaminated recycling is an issue
for many municipalities in North Texas. Since moving to a single stream system in 2003, Fort
Worth set a contamination goal of less than 20 percent in quarterly audits at the recovery,
center. This past year, the city's contamination rate averaged 32% and cost the city
approximately $60,000 a month for disposal of rejected loads. In an effort to reduce the amount
of recycling contamination and increase diversion, the city will host Recycling Block Parties and
Trash Trail field trips in each Council District focusing on neighborhoods with the highest rate of
rejected recycling loads.
By using this unique form of outreach, the City plans to facilitate long-term changes in attitudes
about source reduction, reuse and recycling. This new "Time to Recycle" outreach program will
promote public awareness on the benefits of recycling where it is needed most in the city. The
Recycling Block Parties and Trash Trail field trips will complement the Regional Solid Waste
Management Plan by: improving the effectiveness of outreach by using data for evaluation,
enabling residents to better understand and participate in the city's curbside recycling program,
reduce landfill space and keep the cost of the program down by reducing the number of rejected
recycling loads. Fort Worth will partner with neighborhood police, code officers and
neighborhood leaders to implement the program.
In each council district, the city will mail "Recycling Block Party" invites to the approximately
1,500 households along the contaminated route. At the Saturday block party, residents will
participate in an event dedicated solely to recycling education. The parties will take place on
either a city street or in a neighborhood park complete with eye-catching event banners. Event
activities will include refreshments, music, a recycling bean bag game for kids and a recycling
scavenger hunt for the adults. All event activities will demonstrate ways to recycle right —
recycling, reusing and reducing. Children will try and score large points on the "Captain Crud &
the Buddies" bean bag game and win the Recycle Relay. Children completing the recycling
games will receive shoelaces made from recycled plastic bottles.
Entertainment will also play an important role in drawing residents from the neighborhood.
Local bands will attract citizens to attend and participate in the recycling block party and a bounce
house will be provided to attract children of all ages to the event. The cost of entertainment for
this project will be provided by the City.
The city will strive to hire local musicians that reflect the culture of the neighborhood. Adults will
participate in a Recycling Scavenger Hunt by visiting various tables and answering recycling
questions. As participants visit each booth, the participant gets a hole punched in their game
card. Scavenger Hunt participants who visit all tables will receive a tree sapling to plant at their
home or within their community. Refreshments will be served in a reusable/recycled plastic cup
reinforcing recyclable choices.
In addition to the block party, residents will sign up at the event to attend a future Saturday
"Trash Trail" field trip where participants will follow the trash trail from their neighborhood to tour
the landfill and conclude by visiting the recycling center. Residents will see first-hand how their
actions affect the waste stream. At the conclusion of the trip, participants will receive a reusable
shopping bag to help address the many plastic bags ending up in recycling carts.

shall develop and carry out a program of property maintenance as necessary to keep both
originally acquired and any replaced property in good condition, and to utilize proper sales
procedures to ensure the highest possible return, in the event such property is sold.
Certain types of equipment are classified as "controlled assets" and are subject to annual

the inventory system: (1) stereo systems, (2) still and video cameras, (3) facsimile machines,
(4) VCRs and VCR/TV combinations and (5) cellular and portable telephones.
The FUNDS RECIPIENT may for the purpose of replacing property acquired under this
Interlocal Agreement, either trade in or sell the property and use the proceeds of such trade-in
or sale to offset the cost of acquiring needed replacement property.
The FUNDS RECIPIENT agrees that if a determination is made that any property acquired with
funds provided under this Interlocal Agreement with a current per -unit fair market value of
$5,000 or more is no longer needed for the originally authorized purpose, the TCEQ has the
right to require disposition of the property by the FUNDS RECIPIENT in accordance with the
provisions of this Article.
When during the useful life of property acquired with project funds under this Interlocal
Agreement by the FUNDS RECIPIENT and with a current per -unit fair market value of $5,000 or
more, the property is no longer needed for the originally authorized purpose, the FUNDS
RECIPIENT agrees to request disposition instructions from the TCEQ. When property acquired
by a FUNDS RECIPIENT with project funds provided by the TCEQ under this Interlocal
Agreement is no longer needed for the originally authorized purpose, the FUNDS RECIPIENT
agrees that this Interlocal Agreement will require the NCTCOG to request disposition
instructions from the FUNDS RECIPIENT or, if the NCTCOG is no longer administering a
Regional Solid Waste Implementation Project Program, the TCEQ.
The NCTCOG shall, in turn, request authorization from the TCEQ to provide disposition
instructions to the FUNDS RECIPIENT. Voson instructions shall solicit, at a minimum,
information on the source and amount of funds used in acquiring the property, the date
acquired, the fair market value and how the value was determined (e.g., by appraisal, bids,
etc.), and the proposed use of the proceeds. The assessment of whether to authorize the
proposed disposition of the property must include a determination that the disposition plan will
comply with the private industry provisions of §361.014(b) of the Texas Health Safety Code
Annotated.
In cases where the FUNDS RECIPIENT fails to take appropriate disposition actions, the TCEQ
may direct the NCTCOG to take excess and disposition actions. The disposition instructions
may provide for one of the alternatives as set forth in this Section.
Retain title, sell, or otherwise disposed of with no obligation to compensate the TCEQ or, in the
case of a FUNDS RECIPIENT. Retain title after compensating the TCEQ or, in the case of a
implementation project funding recipient, the NCTCOG. If the NCTCOG is compensated by a
FUNDS RECIPIENT for property acquired using funds provided under this Interlocal Agreement,
the NCTCOG will in turn compensate the TCEQ or, upon authorization by the TCEQ, use those
13

similarly marked, plus a copy of the check under which payment for the expense was made. In
the case of subcontractor services, the supporting documentation shall consist of a dated
invoice marked "received/paid" showing the amount billed to the FUNDS RECIPIENT, indicating
any "past due" amount from previous invoices and a copy of the check.
Article 13. Construction

building of permanent facilities. Examples include: facility design, site preparation and facility
construction, including slabs, paving, awning, attendant shelters with sanitation facilities, fencing
and lighting, containment berms, and electronic data -recording equipment.
The FUNDS RECIPIENT shall obtain and pay for all construction permits and licenses. The
FUND RECIPIENT shall also pay all charges of utility owners for connections to the work and
for charges associated with capital costs related thereto, such as plant investment fees.
The FUNDS RECIPIENT is expected to conform to the appropriate bidding process according to
the FUNDS RECIPIENT'S own internal policies and procedures. In addition, the FUNDS
RECIPIENT is required to maintain documentation to support that the cost incurred were
reasonable and necessary. Appropriate costs that may be included are:

A. Environmental Management Department (DEM) will be applying for grants for the funding of these

these grants; and
4. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations up to
$298,431 in the Grants Fund upon receipt of the grants.
DISCUSSION:
The Environmental Management and Code Compliance Departments are applying for the following grants:
"Recycling Block Parties/Trash Trail Field Trips"
In an effort to reduce the amount of recycling contamination, the city will host recycling block parties in each
http://apps.cfwnet.org/council�acket/Reports/mc�rint.asp 4/28/2008
Page 2 of 3
Council District focusing on neighborhoods with high rates of rejected loads. After block parties, residents
will be invited on a field trip to learn where their trash ends up and how recyclables are processed. The
funding request is $30,235. Staff time, refreshments and recycling game supplies will be used as the in -kind
match of $23,652 from the Solid Waste Enterprise Fund.
"City Recycling Coordinator"
Funding for a new recycling coordinator position is being requested to foster and develop programs that
encourage recycling not only at single family households, but also at apartment complexes, commercial and
business facilities, public events and for the recycling of construction and demolition (C&D) debris. This
position will have a significant impact on the City's waste diversion efforts. The funding request is $48,884
which includes salary and benefits. Education materials, travel reimbursement and staff support will be
used as the in -kind match of $4,000 from the Solid Waste Enterprise Fund
"Used TV Recycling°'
The Environmental Management Department will continue its existing electronic waste recycling collection
program in conjunction with Goodwill Industries of Fort Worth. To assist in funding the antiticpated increase
of television disposal as a result of the FCC -mandated digital television switchover in 2009, $25,000 is
being requested. Staff support and recycling costs will be used as the in -kind match of $25,000 from the
Solid Waste Enterprise Fund.
"Household Hazardous Waste Disposal and Computer Tablet Grant"
The Environmental Collection Center (ECC) is requesting $112,000 in funding. These funds will be used to
offset the cost of disposal for approximately two million pounds of household hazardous waste each year
($100,000) and to purchase four tablet computers and software ($12,000). Survey information including
names, addresses, cities, types of waste and quantities of waste will be entered into a software program
using the computer tablets while the customer is on site. These computer tablets will eliminate the need for
manual collection of data via paper surveys at events. Participating cities and Fort Worth staff will have
instant access to data collected. Staff support will be used as the in -kind match of $12,000 from the
Environmental Management Fund.
"Adopt -A -Street Program"
The Adopt -A -Street Program is a litter reduction campaign designed to help remove litter and debris from
City roads and improve the quality of our environment. The program offers individual citizens, schools, civic
organizations, community groups and businesses the opportunity to demonstrate their desire for a cleaner
community by taking control of their streets and keeping them litter free. The Adopt -A -Street Program will
assist the City in meeting its "Cleaner and More Attractive City" strategic goal while providing citizens the
opportunity to be actively involved in improving their neighborhoods.
The funding request of $11,400 will provide signs, supplies, and advertising for the program. Staff time in
the amount of $6,170 to coordinate and monitor the program will be used as the in -kind match from the
General Fund.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Finance Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations, award of the grants, and
adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the current operating budget, as
appropriated, of the Grants Fund. Funds will be reimbursed by the grantor after expenditures are made.
