BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Electronic Waste Clean -Up Day is another in a series of
environmental programs funded by Lodi's Public Benefits Program.
The primary intent of this program is to assist Lodi electric utility
customers with the proper disposal and recycling of aging and energy inefficient computer monitors,
computer hardware and television sets. The program specifics include the following:
➢ the event will take place on Saturday, February 5, 2005, 7:00am until 10:00am;
➢ the location of the event will be the Public Parking lot adjaoent to the Kofu Park Tennis Courts on
Ham Lane (in close proximity to Lodi's Municipal Service Center);
➢ eligible customers- in order to drop-off an old computer and/or television set for disposal and
recycling, customers must show a current California drivers license, as well as a copy of their City
of Lodi utility bill or statement; the maximum number of computers (hardware/mondorAower) a
customer may recycle at the event is three (3), and the maximum number of television sets that a
customer may recycle at the event is two (2); and
➢ computer software, television antennas, cable boxes, cardboard boxes, microwave ovens,
telephone answering machines, telephones, and other electronic gear/appliances will not be
accepted for disposal or recycling.
In order to successfully complete this project, Electric Utility staff is once again recommending the use of
Teris LLC/MSE Environmental. This organization completed the City of Lodi's first recycling project in
August of this year, and has coordinated numerous household hazardous waste recycling projects for
municipalities throughout central and northern California. Teris LLC/MSE Environmental is considered a
national leader in the recycling industry, and maintains three field offices in California (Benicia, Camarillo
and Wilmington). Due to their extensive background and work with municipal agencies in California,
along with their coordination of our first such event in August of this year, Electric Utility staff respectfully

requests that the Lodi City Council dispense with going out to bid pursuant to Lodi Municipal Code
3.20.070.
This project, which promotes energy conservation, also assists customers with the disposal and proper
recycling of aging home electronics products. (Nate: many of these aging oomputers, monitors and
television sets are illegally dumped in alley ways, residential neighborhoods, behind shopping
centers/stores throughout California, hence, this program is also designed to ensure that these products
are properly discarded.)
NOTE., At Lodi's first-ever Electronic Waste Clean -Up Day event, 425 Lodi residents dropped off
electronic waste for recycling, a staggering 851 oomputers and television sets wero recycled at the event,
with a total weight of 12.5 tons.
Electric Utility staff respectfully recommends approval of the Electronic Waste Clean -Up Day as a
qualifying component of the City of Lodi Public Benefits Program.
