13 coordinated at the facilities. The operating schedules of the facilities have not yet been finalized. The County is considering flexible operating schedules depending on the participation by the homeowners, tenants, and business mini-generators. Home collection is also budgeted for handicapped people or people who do not have access to the three facilities. Types and Quantities of Waste Collected. The proposed facilities will accept all hazardous wastes that are delivered except radioactive wastes and explosive. The wastes collected will be identified by waste type as listed in form CIWMB-303 (1/90). An estimate of these quantifies by waste type is not available at this time because existing collection programs did not classify HHW by waste type. It is anticipated that Pleasanton will generate approximately 190 tons/year of HHW. Recycling and Reuse Efforts. In addition to the permanent drop-off facilities, the County is implementing a comprehensive plan to encourage source reduction and recycling of wastes. Used car batteries, used oil, and latex paint are recycled at the permanent collection facilities as explained earlier. The fkrSt priority of the County is to encourage source reduction, reuse, and recycling of HHW on site. The second priority is reuse and recycling off-site (at the facilities). Public Information Programs. The County will be developing a comprehensive public education program. Techniques that the County is considering to educate people about HHW are: · Develop a "waste minimization" week · Local slide show or video · Brochures and doorhangers on HHW disposal · Advertising availability of facilities Cooperative HHW Programs. The program proposed is a cooperative, countywide program designed to maximize participation through consistent information, techniques, and available resources. Every city in the County has agreed to support and publicize at the local city level the countywide permanent HHW facility program. City of Planton Printed on recycled paper
