2012 Davis <strong>Integrated</strong> <strong>Waste</strong> <strong>Management</strong> <strong>Plan</strong><br />
6.1.1 Recycling Outreach Budget<br />
In the past, the <strong>City</strong>’s recycling program has printed a multi-page garbage and recycling guide on a biennial<br />
basis. More recently, the printing <strong>of</strong> this guide has been reduced to every few years. Savings from the cost <strong>of</strong><br />
printing and associated postage help reduce the outreach budget. In an effort to move towards zero waste, the<br />
<strong>City</strong> has been shifting from a printed material outreach strategy to online and e-communication. When possible,<br />
instead <strong>of</strong> printing and mailing, information is posted on the <strong>City</strong>’s website or distributed via social media.<br />
TABLE 6-3 RECYCLING PROGRAM PRINTING BUDGET<br />

As discussed in detail in Section 8, the <strong>City</strong> receives grant funding from CalRecycle that is used for outreach.<br />
These funds may only be used for specific purposes—used oil recycling and beverage container recycling.<br />
