| Procurement Activities Implemented in 2003 | |
This section of the annual report presents your compliance with the State Agency Buy Recycled Campaign (SABRC). The activities identified below were reported as implemented or continued during 2003. (Note: Completing this section does not meet the SABRC reporting requirements (PCC Section 12162(b)). | |
| 1. | Proactively Working With RCP Suppliers |
| Part IV | ||
| 1. | Is the mission statement of the State agency/large State facility the same as reported in the previous year? Yes If No, what is the new mission statement? | |
| 2. | How has the waste stream (i.e. those materials disposed in landfills) changed since the Integrated Waste Management
Plan was submitted? (Changes include kinds and quantities of materials disposed in landfills.) The Los Angeles City College waste stream has significantly been reduced since the Integrated Waste Management Plan was submitted. Presently, the college diverts approximately 67% of all integrated wastes and approximately 33% is disposed by way of landfills. Office Paper (mixed) tonnage was reported lower, due to new waste hauler not able to quantify all of the fiber tonnage collected throughout the year (All paper is collected as mixed). | |
| 3. | Summarize what waste diversion programs were continued or newly implemented in 2003. Construction and Demolition - The District - wide Integrated Waste Management Plan includes forms for estimating and tracking construction and demolition wastes.
Source Reduction - Districtwide Electronic Media for Calendar Year 2003.
Recyclimg - LACC employees and others collects and self haul to their local recycling centers and the contracted waste - hauler picks up waste materials for disposal and recycles them for remanufacture.
Material Reutilization - Furnitures, equipments, computers, nonprofit/school donations and used books buy for reuse.
Composting - Grasscycling of approximately 7 acres @ 7.6 tons acres for year 2003. Grasscycling is less for 2003 due to the demolition of the field.
Special Waste - Rendering
Facility Recovery - MRF
| |
| 4. | How were the tonnages determined for the materials disposed and diverted? (e.g. waste assessments, per capita
generation and extrapolation, actual disposal weights, or actual recycling weights) Tonnages were determined by actual waste hauler disposal weights, estimates and by CIWMB grasscycling diversion guidelines of 7.6 tons per acres.
| |
| 5. | What types of activities are included in each of the reported programs? (The following link of category definitions may assist you in answering this question.) Source Reduction:
Business Source Reduction- Toner cartridges, double sided copying, reusing office supplies, reusable boxes, electronics media and electronics forms.

The College has identified the Recycling Coordinator and has provided the human resources necessary to carry out the task that is outlined under the Waste Management Plan. The college also has a safety officer who assists with recycling hazardous waste through the district's occupational health and safety specialist.
Employees recycle print cartridges and recycled paper products by placing these recyclables in appropriate recycling containers. Our construction management professionals have assisted by providing wsste stream diversion of construction and demolition waste.
The college's gardening staff divert all green waste to appropriate containers and have implemented utilizing drought resistant landscaping. Grass and tree clippings are used as mulch to minimize water evaporation.
The college has made a conscious effort to purchase environmental safe and friendly products, such as restroom supplies and copier paper for photocopying. Cleaning agents are also environmentally friendly. The college has implemented a policy of reducing our paper stream by using electronic messaging and websites to communicate information to the faculty and staff.
