Under this program, a redeemable deposit fee is collected on all eligible beverage containers in an effort to encourage recycling and reduce land disposal and illegal dumping of affected containers. A separate container fee is also collected by the State DOH from the beverage industry for each eligible container and a portion of those container fees are then being distributed to the counties to assist in developing and monitoring public redemption centers. The State DOH recognized it would be more advantageous to have each county be responsible for developing and monitoring its own program, rather than having the neighbor islands under the control of the State. Therefore, the Department of Environmental Management Solid Waste Division's Recycling Section has been requested to assume responsibility for implementing and monitoring the Beverage Container Deposit Program. Enclosed is a resolution authorizing the Mayor to enter into an agreement with the State of Hawaii Department of Health for this Beverage Container Deposit Program grant. Also enclosed is a bill for an ordinance amending the Operating Budget by appropriating this grant. If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to call the Department of Environmental Management. William Taka a Director of Finance APPROVED: Harry Kim Mayor Enc. 'c~'L Comm.

The State DOH will provide the County of Hawaii with up to $250,000 to provide these services.
