2012 Davis Integrated Waste Management Plan filters, and reclaim used oil. This program is mandated by the California Oil Recycling Enhancement Act, which authorizes the collection of four cents from oil manufacturers for every quart of lubricating oil sold, transferred, or imported into California (see section 8.1.4 for more information about grant funds). These grant funds allow the City to purchase and distribute used oil containers, rags, funnels, and drain mats so that "do-it-yourself" oil changers can more easily and safely collect and transport their used oil to a CCC for recycling. These items are given out at no charge to residents along with educational literature on the proper way to change and dispose of used oil. The City also promotes the recycling of used oil by yearly presentations to Davis High School auto shop classes, various media advertising, participation in the Regional Recycling Group Used Oil and Filter Recycling Media Campaign and other various recycling outreach (see section 6.1.8. for details). The figure below shows the amount of used motor oil collected at CCCs in Davis, as reported by CalRecycle.

2012 Davis Integrated Waste Management Plan In addition to spreading the word about recycling used motor oil and filters, the City also strongly promotes the “3,000 Mile Myth” message, about oil change intervals; needing to change your car's oil at 3,000 miles is a myth. Many cars today can go longer without resulting in engine wear. Automakers are regularly recommending oil changes at 5,000, 7,000 or even 10,000 miles based on driving conditions. Research conducted by CalRecycle shows that nearly three-quarters of California drivers change their motor oil more often than automaker recommendations. Following the 3,000 mile myth generates millions of gallons of waste oil every year that can pollute California's natural resources. The City encourages residents to check their vehicle's user manual for guidelines on when to change their oil. Newer cars can go for longer periods of time without an oil change. This may be partly why the amount of used oil collected at CCCs is so low in recent years. The low numbers may also be due to the CCCs not reporting all the oil they collect. 10.1.5 Electronics Recycling Due to ongoing technological advancement, many electronic products become obsolete within a short period of time, creating a large surplus of unwanted electronic products, or “e-waste.” Some e-waste contains hazardous chemicals, so disposing of e-waste in landfills has the potential to cause severe human and environmental health impacts. To avoid these risks, the Electronic Waste Recycling Act (Senate Bill 50) was signed into law in 2004. SB 50 established and funded a program for consumers to return, recycle, and ensure safe and environmentally sound disposal of covered electronic devices (CEDs). CEDs include: cathode ray tube devices (including televisions and computer monitors), LCD desktop monitors, laptop computers with LCD displays, LCD televisions, plasma televisions and portable DVD players with LCD screens. As noted in section 5.2, the City has been accepting e-waste at the annual Bulky Items Drop-off Days since 2008. Currently, Davis residents have the following options to recycle their e-waste in or near town: The Goodwill Donation Xpress (2939 Spafford Drive, Suite 110) Yolo County SPCA Thrift Store (920 3rd Street) Yolo County Central Landfill, 44090 County Road 28H, Woodland DRAFT More recycling options are available in Woodland, West Sacramento and surrounding areas. All three of the locations listed above are CalRecycle Approved Participating Collectors and Recyclers under the Covered Electronic Waste Recovery and Recycling Payment System. These places accept e-waste for free every day during their normal operating hours. The YCCL has been collecting e-waste for years. In 2006, 42% or 4,519 units of CED were collected from Davis. E-waste can also be donated for reuse at several thrift stores in town. 10.2 Evaluation of Alternatives The Recycling Program does not have a budget for collecting HHW or U-waste, other than the programs listed in 9.1. The City has always supported all collection efforts by the County for HHW and U-Waste. Since the programs provided by the County are already paid for through the tipping fees at the landfill, residents are already paying for these services. The City has always preferred to encourage residents to use the County’s Page | 10-89
