Grant Application for Recyclinq Procram

The City of Port Coqu it I am is currently negotiating with International
Paper Industries to provide a Curbside Pickup Recvclinq Proqram for newspaper
material . In this context, newspaper means all newsprint, all bond paper, flyers
printed on glossy paper and magazines not glue bound.
The curbside pickup recycl ing program under consideration basical ly
involves the regular col lection oT old newspapers by International Paper Industries
in conjunction with a local non-prof it organization or, a bi-weekly basis.
Residents wl
be asked to place their old newspapers into a special recycl ing
plastic bag provided for them
for this purpose. This recycl ing program will
involve al of the estimated 7,700 single fami ly residences in the

In order to assist the City in getting this, worthwhile recycllng program

the Northshore communities in getting their recycl ing program started in 1983. We
