COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE: National Clean Your Files Day Proclamation
MEETING DATE: April 5,2006
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That Mayor Hitchcock present a proclamation declaring
April 21, 2006, as "National Clean Your Files Day". A representative
from Central Valley Waste Services will be present to say a few
words.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Clean Your Files Day is a project of the "Recycling at Work program
supported by the U. S .Conference of Mayors that began in 1995.
Clean Your Files Day is a national celebration of recycling. It is a
way to promote and encourage more workplace recycling within
each City department. It is also a chance for the City to encourage local businesses to increase the
amount of paper recycled in their offices. Many businesses do not have an office recycling program in
place and this is a great event to initiate a program.
For this year's event, Central Valley Waste Services will be dropping off multiple recycling containers to
designated City department locations the morning of April 21 and returning to pick them up later in the
afternoon. Employees are encouraged to take some time this day to clean their offices of papers,
magazines, and phone books no longer needed. It is also a time to educate City employees about what
types of materials can be recycled. Press releases will be done by staff prior to the event to gain media
coverage to encourage local City businesses to participate in National Clean Your Files Day.
