Our goals are to help the County increase recycling education, recycling opportunities and easy access to recycling and waste reduction information in addition to our community improvement services. KIRB will continue to run the Borrow-A-Biri program so residents have free access to portable recycling containers on loan, requiring the event's staff provide all coordination and management to make recycling available at local events, festivals, and meetings. KIRB will approve a maximum of 5 days of Recycling Management at local events. KIRB staff manages the delivery, set up, breakdown and return of bins. Our staff alongside any recruited volunteers manage the recycling bins throughout the event, replacing bags as needed, removing trash from the recycling and recycling from the trash to maintain a clean stream and handles disposal of recyclables including coordination of a dumpster if necessary. Participation is dependent on free tent space provided by the event. We can only commit to a limited number of events and services that are 1) strategically spaced out in the year and 2) within the hour limitations of current staff. KIRB will perform 5 recycling activities at schools or local events, 5 recycling presentations and 5 educational display booths upon request from the community. KIRB will perform a Community Appearance Index Survey for the entire county divided by Commissioner districts and present the results at a public Commission meeting. KIRB will seek and apply for additional grants to help supplement the programs. KIRB will track and compile metrics to be reported annually at our Environmental Awards Ceremony. KIRB will perform the International Coastal Cleanup and the Great American Cleanup providing supplies, coordination and promotion for community improvement projects. The County will be listed as a sponsor of these events. In addition to the two main events, KIRB will provide cleanup supplies to 65 additional volunteers throughout the year. The County will list KIRB as a nonprofit partner on any promotional material and the IRCrecycles.com with a link to our website. KIRB will create an informational blurb about our organization and partnership with the County for the website. Any additional services provided by KIRB to any County department, will be considered "Sponsored By KIRB". We anticipate the recognition be provided based on the level of our contribution for our continuing support of the County. This includes but is not limited to acquiring grants to benefit the County at parks, coordinating ongoing lifter cleanups to improve our community and waterways, as well as any additional recycling opportunities made available above and beyond the scope of work. Additional services requests from the county must be approved by a majority vote of the KIRB Board of Directors excluding the county representatives. 153
