The regular meeting of the Beautification Committee was held in the Parks and
Recreation Department's Conference Room at City Hall Annex on Wednesday, August 2nd,
1989.

Emma Whitney-Resigned
Meeting was called to order at 9:00 a.m.
Speaker, Matina Wagner, Acting Recycling Coordinator, spoke on the City's recycling
program. She stated that in October 1988, the state mandated that all counties would
recycle at least 30% of their waste by 1994. The City of Clearwater is affected
since we are a part of Pinellas County and responsible for a collection of 100.000
resident1s garbage, trash, etci the county is responsible for disposal. Wayman
Pearson, Sanitation Superintendent. saw disposal costs rising. Rather than letting
this continue and raise resident's fees every year, he decided to start a recycling
program which was started about two years ago and has been very successful.
Clearwater's long term dream for recycling is to be an efficient part of an overall
solid waste management program.
Matina brought several objects that had been recycled such as: glass. and plastic
(which can be made into carpeting, carpet padding, pot scrubbers and other hard
plastics). She also mentioned that aluminum, scrap aluminum and cardboard are also
recycled. Sanitation's newest project is yard waste recycling wherein residents yard
waste is picked up separately at the curb. The yard waste will be chopped up and
made into mulch. It will then be offered back to residents free of charge.
Resident's soil can actually be improved by using this mulch. Fliers will be sent
out next month in utility bills to inform residents of the new program.
Matina stated recycling is a three step process and all three steps must be completed
before the recycling process can be completed. (1) Recovery, (2) Remanufacture, (3)
Reuse or Rese 11.
Last year the City of Clearwater dedicated almost 4 million dollars to disposal of
our garbage; we produced a'lmost 110,000 tons of garbage. It is felt that if we can
cut back the 30% that the state has told us to reduce. we could save over a million
dollars in disposal cost. This will help with the inflation of disposal costs,
personnel costs, commercial costs, transportation costs, and will enable Sanitation
to keep residential costs down. Recycling saves: Trees, Sand & Soda Ash, Boxite
Ore, and 011-
Residents can the help the recycling program by:

21) letting your politicians know we want recycling in Clearwater.
) Ask manufacturers for recycled containers, such as paper bags versus plastic
bags. A biodegradable plastic bag cannot be recycled, but paper bags are
recyclable and are not,toxic to the environment. Matins asked everyone to keep
getting paper bags.
3) Spread the word about recycling programs.
Matina resporid~d to the question "What recycling programs does the City of Clearwater
have now?" "
1) Recycling curb service with Neighborly Senior Services, Chet Smiley:
The Sanitation Division is going to help by supplying vehicles and manpower. They
will assist with publicizing this program in the fall. Mr. Smiley is covering
over' 15,000 of our single family homes at no cost to the City.
2) Commercial glass and aluminum routes at local restaurants and bars: Employees
separate these materials, and Mr. Smiley has a driver who services these
establishments.
3) Office paper recycled by all City employees: A ton of office paper a week is
recovered. Program to be expanded to private businesses.
4) Scrap metal recycling program: This program in its first month recycled over 34
tons of scrap metal and made the City of Clearwater revenues over $1,500.
5) Cardboard route is generating about 10 tons a month. City of Clearwater is
selling the cardboard.
6) Newest and biggest project of the Sanitation Department will be modifying the
Transfer Station on Old Coachman Road. Station will be expanded so that
commercial loads of recyclables can be sorted there.
7) Sanitation is working very closely with other counties and state programs.
8) Educate the public to let them know what can be recycled and what can be done
with hazardous waste materials. Waste oil should be put in a clear pastic
container ior curbside pick up unless a service station will accept it.
Jurunesty day for hazardous waste products will be held twice a year until the
county hazardous waste station is built.
9) Sanitation Division is going tp set up two permanent education sites at Moccasin
Lake Nature Park and the Marine Science Center. Containers should be washed with
lids removed and placed in paper bag.
"
Matina informed Committee that the Sanitation Oivision Recycling Program will be
active at the Jazz Holiday Festival.
