Shortly U~ereafter, when }.he how-tO compost video ~ running on cable stations, cable <br /> bulletins will announce the availability of bins. Once...we.have completed the initial program <br /> launch and can a.~ass demand we will place display easels throughout the county, with <br /> particular emphasis in jurisdictions with low response rates.' If demand slows,, we will jump <br /> start the program by producing an insert to be included with garbage bills sent to all <br /> re.~idential customers. <br /> <br /> Educazional Supporl <br /> Recommendation: Provide tools for the person interested 'in learning c6mpoating on <br /> their own as well as additional support for those who need more <br /> "hands on" assistance.. <br /> <br /> Each bin recipient will receive a copy or the book titled "Backyard CompoU. ing" endorsed by <br /> the California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB). This book presents an ~y <br />.: step. by step guide to successful composting and is appropriate for the novice as Well m the <br /> more ~xp.~rienced composter. A how-to video'produced by the CIWMB will also be shown <br /> on cable stations. These tools will pro,)ide each. bib recipient with enough information to get <br /> started and with reference tools in case troubleshooting is needed. <br /> <br /> Experience in other jurisdictions has shown that education, is key to succe_~sful"Composting. <br /> and continued participation. We r~commend that additional support be available for those <br /> who need it. We propose to have a hotline where residents c'm call for individual assistance <br /> with their composting qu~tions. We will either.staff the hotline or contract with an outside <br /> agency (e.g. College of San Mateo. San Mateo Garden Center. San Francisco League of <br /> Urban Gardener~) for this service. <br /> <br /> We also propose.to contract with an outside agency (maybe the ~me agency selected to. <br /> provide the hotline service) or with individuals to conduct how-to compost workshops.' <br /> Workshops are critical to ensure the succe.~ful participation of novice composters who de, ire. <br /> hands on a.~aistance in getting started. <br /> <br /> Exhlbit 'A" - Page 7 of 8 . . <br /> <br /> <br />
