Title
Resolution authorizing the acceptance and expenditure of a grant from The Recycling Partnership and the Can Manufacturers Institute’s Aluminum Beverage Can Capture Recycling Grant Program to implement a capital improvement project for the City of Milwaukee Waukesha County Joint Materials Recovery Facility (MRF).

Analysis
This resolution authorizes the Department of Public Works to accept and expend a cash grant from the Aluminum Beverage Can Capture Recycling Grant Program in the amount of $65,000 with a city share of $0 and a grantor share of $65,000.

Whereas, The Intergovernmental Cooperation Agreement (IGA) established by Resolution 131795 between the City of Milwaukee and Waukesha County created a regional recycling agreement for the processing and marketing of recyclables; and

Whereas, The installation of additional separating equipment to recover crushed or flattened aluminum cans is estimated to result in an additional 408 tons captured annually; and

Whereas, The capture of an additional 408 tons of aluminum cans per year is estimated to save over $18,000 in facility landfill disposal fees and generate over $388,100 in new commodity revenue annually, a portion of which is shared with the City based on its respective tons; and
