CITY OF PEARLANU~
CLEAN CITIES 2000
III. PHASE I - PLAN OF ACTION
lntroductlon
Most of the components of the City of Pearland Plan of Action for the Clean Cities 2000
program will be a partnership effort between the city and Clean Pearland, Inc., an affiliate of
Keep Texas Beautiful, Inc. and Keep America Beautiful, Inc. and the Keep Brazoria County
Beautiful Association. Clean Pearland and the City of Pearland have had a close working
relationship since 1982 when many of our environmental education programs were put into
place. When the city contracted its waste hauling to Waste Management of Southeast Texas
(Waste Management) in October of 1992, it also entered into a contract with Clean Pearland to
handle the coordination, promotion and community education aspects of the recycling
program. The record has shown this to be a viable and successful program over the long-term.
The appropriate technology (i.e., Internet home page, government cable channel, recycling
collection vehicles, etc.) is already in place, which will make it easy to expand our existing
programs and add new ones. Waste Management has agreed to work with us to supply the
figures needed to measure waste reduction results. Clean Pearland currently has a close
working relationship with all of the schools, environmental clubs and PTA groups in the
Pearland Independent School District, as well as with the local Boy Scout and Girl Scout
organizations. The organization also works closely with the Pearland/Hobby Area Chamber of
Commerce on a number of programs and is represented on its board of directors. All of these
partnerships help to make education and public awareness efforts successful. Additional
partnerships will be discussed as they relate to specific sections of the Action Plan.
In the past, funding for recycling, waste reduction and other environmental education and
promotional programs came from the revenue from curbside recycling. However, with the
downturn in recycling revenues in recent months, we found that this did not provide stable
ongoing funding for the programs. Therefore, a provision was included in the current contract
with Waste Management allows the waste hauling company to keep all revenue from recycling
but requires that they pay $5,000 per month for recycling education to an organization (Clean
Pearland) designated by the City. The city's contract with Clean Pearland also calls for
additional funds to be provided by the city from the franchise fee paid by the waste hauler.
Since Clean Pearland will be the city's agent for administering the Clean Cities 2000 program,
unless otherwise noted all budgeted funds mentioned in the action plan will come from the
funds that have been allocated to Clean Pearland and will be a part of Clean Pearland's annual
budget.
A. RESIDENTIAL RECYCLING AND SOURCE REDUCTION
Objective: To generate 10 percent less residential waste, not including yard waste.
The city has a contract with Clean Pearland, Inc. to provide a comprehensive
environmental education program for both adults and children in the community. With
these educational programs, we are hoping to achieve our waste reduction goals
voluntarily: However, when negotiating our current waste contract, we discussed the
1
· Ad"~g recyclable materials to our progra'~as markets become available
(Ouc contract with Waste Management contains a provision allowing either
party to add materials to the program if markets become available).
· Working with Waste Management to explore avenues for instituting a
successful on-site recycling program for all apartment complexes in the city.
· Incorporating residents in the outlying areas into the city's curbside
recycling program as soon as they are annexed into the city.
By contracting for our waste hauling services, we have made sure that the appropriate
technology will be in place to handle our current recycling program and any new
components we might add. For this reason integrating new materials into the existing
services as markets become available should not be a problem.
Milestone

determine what type of recycling program will
fit their needs and be cost effective

July 1, 1998 $2,000*
*For additional start-up and promotional costs. The actual costs of collection and processing
will be covered by fees.
B. MANAGEMENT OF RESIDENTIAL YARD TRIMMINGS
Objective: Reduce disposal of residential yard trimmings by two-thirds.
The city has been promoting the "Don't Bag It" program primarily through its
education/outreach programs (described below) and we do not currently have any
demonstration lawns or any supporting policies or incentives in this area. However, to
help increase participation in this program, we plan to:
· Have 10 demonstration lawns by.the end of 1997 and 20 by the end of 1998,
with one of these demonstration lawns being the City Hall grounds.
· Sponsor a drawing for prizes, such as mulching mowers, for people who are
willing to pledge to try the "Don't Bag It" Lawn Care Program for at least
one year.
· Offering workshops on the "Don't Bag It" program to the City's
maintenance personnel to make sure that this' program is practiced on all city
property.

system in all e"~e communities. Once the program is'~'place, Pearland will consider
the necessary support policies and incentives in the form of ordinances mandating that
the yard wastes be separated from other garbage and put out for separate pickup.
Volume-based fees for the regular trash pickup is another support policy that would be
considered if needed to meet the goal.

C. WORKPLACE RECYCLING
Objective: Divert and/or reduce 50 percent of waste volumes in both public and private
sectors facilities.
The city currently recycles mixed office paper, newspaper and magazines and
corrugated cardboard through Champion Recycling. Each employee has a special
receptacle for recycling at his/her desk with a sticker on it that lists what can and
cannot be taken. The custodial staff empties the recycling receptacles when they empty
the waste baskets. They keep the contents separate and place the recyclables in a
dumpster provided by Champion Recycling. Aluminum cans are also recycled at all
city facilities and at the municipal swimming pool. There are large, clearly marked
containers on each floor of City Hall, in the Community Center, the Police Department
and the City Service Center for aluminum cans. These containers are also emptied by
the custodial staff and taken to Clean Pearland's drop-off recycling center. These
programs are coordinated by Clean Pearland as are other workplace recycling programs
throughout the city.
Clean Pearland runs a drop-off recycling center that is open two days a week and
accepts newspaper, magazines, mixed office paper, phone books, aluminum and steel
cans, and clear and colored glass. The center was formerly open only on Saturdays, but
in 1991, office paper was added to the program and the decision was made to open the
center on Thursday afternoons to accommodate local business. A number of local
businesses, including three banks, bring their paper and other recyclables to the center.

Pearland alor,/""vith Oxychem Pipeline Operations at. number of other local
businesses wil~ 'sponsor the city's first Household Ha?ardous Materials Collection Day
on Saturday, April 19 and plan to make this an annual event. Used oil, filters and tires
will be accepted at that event.
Approximately four years ago, the city received a grant for a used motor oil recycling
education program from TNRCC. Clean Pearland coordinated the program. They
contacted all automotive businesses in the city to determine if they accepted used motor
oil, filters, and other automotive products from the public for recycling. When the
survey was complete they designed brochures, fact sheets and posters using information
from EPA and TNRCC literature and including a list of the names, addresses and
telephone numbers of all of the automotive businesses in the city that accepted these
items and which items they took. The brochures were mailed to everyone on the city
water department's mailing list. In addition, we purchased about 500 combination
oilpan/containers that can be used when changing oil and than taken to the recycling
location and emptied. These containers, along with additional brochures and fact sheets
were distributed at community events, at a special program sponsored by Clean
Pearland on the reasons for properly disposing of used motor oil, and from the Clean
Pearland office. Although the pans have all been distributed, Clean Pearland is still
distributing the brochures and fact sheets at community events and mailing them to
people who have questions about used oil disposal. We also have done storm drain
stenciling on a small scale, using JTPA workers from Pearland Neighborhood Center
and have written articles about the proper disposal of automotive products in our
regular weekly newspaper column.
Plans to expand this program to meet the goal include:
· Retaking the survey of automotive business so that we can update and
reprint the brochures.
· Expanding the storm drain stenciling program to cover all curb and gutter
streets in the city by using volunteer groups.
