Analysis
The City of Grand Prairie installed several trash receptacles more than 15 years ago at high-traffic business corridor medians. Currently there are 31 such median receptacles that are serviced every week by the litter crew. Approximately 10 tons of trash is collected each year from these receptacles. The trash receptacles have worn over time and need to be replaced. Additionally we have identified some other areas that would benefit from the installation of new median receptacles and contribute significantly in our mission of litter abatement and prevention.
Grant monies if awarded would be used towards the replacement and purchase of additional median trash receptacles and an anti-litter campaign. On December 8, 2015, the city's Keep Grand Prairie Beautiful Commission approved a motion requesting that the City Council approve a resolution authorizing the submittal of this grant application.
Financial Consideration
Funds are available for the purchase of the litter containers in the approved FY16 Solid Waste Operating Budget “Outside Trash Supplies” fund (303510-60210).
