SUMMARY
On October 22, 2019, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2019-58 authorizing the submittal
of applications to CalRecycle for all grants for which the City of Rosemead is eligible. The
CalRecycle grant program allows the State of California (State) to administer various grant
programs (Grants) in furtherance of the state efforts to reduce, recycle and reuse solid waste
generated in the state, thereby preserving landfill capacity and protecting public health and safety
and the environment. The authorizations adopted by Resolution No. 2019-58 are effective for five
years from the date of adoption.
The City recently submitted a CalRecycle Household Hazardous Waste Discretionary Grant
application for Cycle 43 (Small Projects). The City's existing resolution to authorize the submittal
of applications for Calrecycle grants will no longer be effective beginning October 22, 2024.
CalRecycle informed City staff that a new resolution would need to be adopted and be effective
through the grant award tern. Staff is recommending that the City Council adopt Resolution No.
2024-45 authorizing the submittal of applications for all CalRecycle grants for which the City of
Rosemead is eligible.
The City of Rosemead completed a CalRecycle Household Hazardous Waste Discretionary Grant
application for Cycle 43 (Small Projects). The Grant will reimburse the City for the
implementation of safe Household Hazardous Waste (HW W) programs, which may include public
education, source reduction, reuse, recycling, load checking and collection components. Per the
final application, the City plans to utilize the Grant funding to establish and operate a temporary
or mobile collection program for one -day HHW collection events in the City, as well as perform
public education and outreach for both residents and businesses.
