The committee approved acceptance and appropriation of $10,000 from the Orange County Youth Bureau to establish Recycling Clubs in county schools during 2026. Staff said the Youth Bureau will contact schools to form clubs.
The Physical Services Committee approved a request to accept and appropriate $10,000 from the Orange County Youth Bureau for calendar-year 2026 to establish Recycling Clubs in county schools. The funding will be used to support school-based environmental and recycling efforts under the Youth Bureau's outreach plan.
"This is a partnership with the Orange County Youth Bureau working in schools for establishing recycling. It is $10,000 in grant funding," Robert Gray told the committee, and Ms. Scott asked whether schools apply; Gray said the Youth Bureau typically contacts schools directly. The motion was seconded and carried unanimously.
Staff indicated the funds will be used during the 1/15/2026–12/31/2026 period and that the Youth Bureau will coordinate school participation; no further program details or an applicant list were provided on the record.
