State funding will be used to pay a vendor to coordinate and host the temporary redemption center(s), and to pay redemption fees to residential patrons for the purpose of promoting public awazeness of the Beverage Container Deposit Law. The County will donate staff time to manage and promote the demonstration project, and to assess project outcomes. Following appropriate procurement procedures for small grant funding, the County will select a local vendor to operate the temporary redemption center(s), and to recycle all materials collected through the project. The redemption center site(s) will be determined by the vendor, and could be hosted in locations such as a shopping center pazking lot or an existing recycling facility. As provided for under the Beverage Container Deposit Law, the vendor will be reimbursed at a rate of 3 cent per container for handling redemption transactions. The redemption center(s) will accept eligible glass and #1 plastic beverage containers, redeemable at 5 cents per container until funds are exhausted. The model redemption center(s) will focus on glass and #1 plastic as these items have little or no mazket value and are currently not collected in large quantities. To extend the project timeline, redemption transactions will be limited to $10 per resident per day. The County will promote the project as a Beverage Container Deposit Law demonstration through multiple media sources. Information on the Beverage Container Deposit Law will be available at the temporazy redemption center(s). Results of the project will be used to determine public response to redemption opportunities, and operating issues associated with running redemption centers.
