<br />/.~A-3 <br /> <br />EXHIBIT A <br /> <br />WASTE REDUCTION AND RECYCLING DIRECTIVE <br /> <br />Purpose <br />The City of Redwood City ("the City") will act to make resource conservation an integral <br />part of the physical operation of the waste reduction and recycling programs. The <br />practice of discarding materials used in City facilities is wasteful of natural resources, <br />energy, and money. It is also a function of the City to set an example of stewardship of <br />our natural resources. <br /> <br />It will be the policy of the City of Redwood City to implement the following <br />actions: <br />. The City will integrate the concept of resource conservation, including waste <br />reduction and recycling, into its environmental programs. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The City will decrease the amount of waste of consumable materials by: a) <br />reduction of the consumption of consumable materials wherever possible; b) full <br />utilization of all materials prior to disposal; and c) minimization of the use of <br />non-biodegradable products wherever possible. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The City will cooperate with, and participate in, recycling efforts being made by <br />the County of San Mateo. As systems for the recovery of waste and recycling <br />are developed within the jurisdiction, they will participate by appropriately <br />separating and allowing recovery of recyclable waste products. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The City will purchase, where financially viable, recycled products. The City will <br />also encourage suppliers, both private and public, to make recyclable products <br />and unbleached paper products available for purchase. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Representatives of the City will actively advocate where appropriate for resource <br />conservation practices to be adopted at the local, regional, and state levels. <br /> <br />* <br /> <br />* <br /> <br />* <br /> <br />sllibrary/reportslpaul/grant application.
