SUBJECT: Agreement with Kane County Accepting a Grant to Fund Household Hazardous
Waste Collection Services
PURPOSE
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the Mayor and members of the City Council with
information to execute an agreement with Kane County to accept a grant of up to $25,000 to help
fund the City's Household Hazardous Waste Collection Program.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve the agreement with Kane County to accept a
grant of up to $25,000 for the City's Household Hazardous Waste Collection Program and
authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement.
BACKGROUND
The City has contracted with Curbside, Inc., a former subsidiary of Safety-Kleen, since 1999 to
provide household hazardous waste disposal services to Elgin residents. These services include
home pick-up of hazardous waste materials, local used motor oil collection centers and a mail-in
program for medical syringes. There is no charge to residents to utilize these services. Since the
inception of the program, Elgin residents have safely disposed of over 273,000 pounds of
hazardous materials.
Kane County has provided the City with an annual grant in the amount $25,000 since 1999 in
order to help fund the City's Household Hazardous Waste Collection Program. This new
agreement would remain in effect for a three year period and would reimburse the City for half
of the actual Household Hazardous Waste Program costs,not to exceed $25,000 annually.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
A total of $50,000 has been budgeted in the 2004 Public Works/Refuse Services Budget,
Account Number 010-3331-754.33-05 for Hazardous Waste Services, of which, approximately
$25,000 has been spent on the residential household hazardous waste program thus far this year.
The grant from Kane County reimburses the City for half of our total program expenditures, up
to $25,000 annually. As part of the City's solid waste contract, the City also receives $25,000
annually from Waste Management in order to help offset household hazardous waste program
costs.
