A RESOLUTION URGING PARTICIPATION IN THE CITY'S
VOLUNTARY NEWSPAPER RECYCLING PROGRAM.
WHEREAS, technological progress in manufacturing and marketing of
consumer products has resulted in continuing increases in the mass of
material discarded by purchasers of such products; and
WHEREAS, that failure to reuse some waste materials depletes
our natural resources and damages the environment; and
WHEREAS, the available space for disposing of solid waste material
is necessarily finite and diminishing each year; and
WHEREAS, it is in the interests of the City of Fairfax to promote
the reuse of waste materials that can be economically recycled;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED:
That the City of Fairfax establishes a voluntary newspaper recycling
program to consist of bi-weekly home curbside pickup of newspapers and the
continued operation of the Pickett Road recycling center; and
That the City Council does hereby urge all residents to participate
in the newspaper recycling program by availing themselves of the appropriate
means to dispose of waste newspapers provided to them; and
That the City Council requests the support, ideas and knowledge
of the Community Appearance Committee to aid in publicizing this worth-
while program.
Adopted: July 12, 1977.
