RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee (the Director of Environmental Health or Assistant Director of Health Services), to submit Grant Application #28-961 (TA-6), to the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle), Waste Tire Amnesty Grant Program, to pay County in an amount not to exceed $12,392, for the Environmental Health Solid Waste Program to provide free and convenient waste tire collection events for Contra Costa County residents, for the period from August 1, 2021 through October 31, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this application will result in an amount not to exceed $12,392 from CalRecycle from the local government Waste Tire Amnesty Grant Program for the Environmental Health Solid Waste Program. No County match is required.

BACKGROUND:

CalRecycle offers the Local Government Waste Tire Amnesty Grant Program pursuant to Section 42889(e) of the Public Resources Code. The purpose of the grant is to provide free and convenient waste tire collection events for Contra Costa County residents, businesses that have been victims of illegal dumping and tires generated from farming equipment, or a small business to dispose of their waste tires properly. Holding Waste Tire Amnesty events throughout the County will provide an avenue to legally dispose of waste tires at no cost and reduce the instances of illegal dumping, improper storage, and potential public health issues. Furthermore, Waste Tire Amnesty disposal events create an educational opportunity to promote proper disposal and recycling of waste tires throughout Contra Costa County.

Approval of Application #28-961 will allow Contra Costa County Environmental Health services to apply for funds to continue implementing the Environmental Health Solid Waste Program through October 31, 2023.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, the County will not be able to provide free and convenient waste tire collection events for Contra Costa County residents and reduce the instances of illegal dumping, improper storage, and potential public health issues.
