BACKGROUND:
The Westside Cities Solid Waste Task Force, comprised of the Cities of Culver City,
West Hollywood, and Beverly Hills, has participated in a Regional Used Oil Recycling
Block Grant for the past twelve years.
The Used Oil Recycling Program was established to educate the public about the
dangers of illegally dumping used motor oil into the environment and to give the Do-It-
Yourselfer (DIY) a convenient place to dispose of their used motor oil and filter.
Through the program, the City of Culver City, in cooperation with Beverly Hills and West
Hollywood, has established a network of Used Oil Collection Centers, all certified by the
State of California, to facilitate a used motor oil recycling and filter exchange program.

Agenda Item Report
In addition to the certified recycling centers, the grant has supplied the necessary
funds to host a high school video competition. High schools compete to create a
Public Service Announcement (PSA) that promotes used oil recycling and storm
water pollution prevention. Schools including Culver City Academy of Performing
Arts and Video, West Hollywood Community Day School, and Beverly Hills High
School have all participated in past competitions. The winning PSA’s are
broadcasted on cable stations in their respective cities.
DISCUSSION:
As of July 1, 2008, the City of Beverly Hills has been the lead agency to administer the
Used Oil Block Grant. As part of this responsibility, Beverly Hills will apply for the 15
th
Cycle Grant for Fiscal Year 2009-2010 and administer the program.
Grant funds will be used to hire a consultant who is responsible for promoting the
program through public outreach and education, coordinating used oil-recycling drop off
locations, providing program reports to the State of California, developing giveaway
programs, and attending City sponsored events.
Specifically in the City of Culver City, the scope of services include coordinating with
local oil change outlets to develop programs to promote the use of re-refined oil and oil
filter recycling. Additionally, the consultant provides outreach materials at City events
such as: the La Ballona Creek Cleanup Event, Fiesta La Ballona, George Barris Car
Show, and Earth Day festivities.
FISCAL ANALYSIS:
The California Integrated Waste Management Board funds the Used Oil Recycling
Block Grant based on the population of the applicant cities. Staff estimates the total
grant funding for the 15th Cycle to be $16,107 - $17,571 for all three cities.
Culver City’s Used Oil Recycling Program will be 100% funded by the Used Oil
Recycling Block Grant in cooperation with Beverly Hills and West Hollywood and will
be administered by the City of Beverly Hills.
