A COUNTYWIDE RECYCLING MARKET DEVELOPMENT ZONE PROGRAM
RECOMMENDATION
It is staff's recommendation that the City Council adopt Resolution No.
94-85, approving the inclusion of the City of Tustin in a Countywide
Recycling Market Development Zone.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact on the City of Tustin.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
In 1990 the Governor and Legislature of the State of California adopted
SB2310 (Bergeson) establishing the California Recycling Market
Development Zone (RMDZ) program. The purpose of the Act is to stimulate
the recycling of postconsumer waste materials generated in California.
Designation as a RMDZ will provide benefits to local businesses that use
secondary materials in their manufacturing process, including Iow
interest loans, technical and marketing assistance, and information
sharing. This program would encourage recycled materials to be
remanufactured into new products within the RMDZ thus closing the
recycling loop. In addition, participating in the application for
designation as a RMDZ will demonstrate to the State that the City of
Tustin is making a good faith effort at meeting the mandates of AB939.
CONCLUSION
In order to complete
County of Orange needs the
within the County.
