Speaker Abstract
Tired of the same boring purchases with Beverage Container Recycling City Payment Program and Used Oil Payment Program funds? Looking to purchase more than just recycling containers or used oil filters? In 2021 and 2022, the City of Oceanside utilized payment program funds to purchase water refills stations for parks, community facilities, and beach and harbor locations throughout the Oceanside community. But wait-there’s more! This Payment Programs don’t just support zero waste, but other City initiatives as well. Staff partnered with numerous City departments such as Parks, Maintenance, the Oceanside Harbor, Neighborhood Services, and the Water Conservation program to select site-specific infrastructure and meet the needs of the community. Tune in to learn how the team’s vision came to be, and how you can utilize YOUR city’s payment program funds better, and how funding mechanisms from CalRecycle can be restructured to meet the modern and ever changing needs of the communities the funds benefit.
