WHEREAS, funding received from CalRecycle’s Beverage Container Recycling City/County Payment Program is expected to be applied towards the installation of additional dual stream waste and recycling units in the City’s downtown area, city parks, and green spaces that would enhance compaction, collection efficiency and capacity for the City’s waste collection program and improve the quality of life and downtown character in South San Francisco.
