Dear Mr. Farnworth

4 couple of months ago I had the opportunity of addressing
your committee regarding the possibility of cost sharing
advertising for recyciing in Port Coquitlam. At the time, your
committee seemed willing to accept specific proposals. I would
like to present one such proposal.

As you know, the Blue Bags that we use are a major source of
advertising. Preliminary results an ; survey that we are
currently conducting indicate that ua bags are one of the
main visible nayabol aot ther reeeniing Arar and -ar@ a constant
reminder to citizens to participate in the + ae ay ae SHARE
Enterprises has almost exhausted its supply of blue bags for the
municipality of Port Coquit)am. We are hoping to purchase another
4,000 blue bags at an astimated cost of $1000, We request that
Port Coquitlam cost share this purchase on as 35Q/30 hasis. I would
be willing to address either your committne or Council to present
the case for your involvement in this promotional activity.

ae my we,

I would also like to take this opportunity to bring you up
to date on a number of other events concerning the recycling
program. SHARE Enterprises was successful in obtaining some
federal funding (Challenge ’86) for a summer project. This
preject is focussing on how best to market the recycling program.
One of the main activities is to survey 1,000 households in Port
Coquitlam and Port Moody. This survey should provide us with
valuable information on who is and is not participating in the
programs and why. We will also be using the project to promote
recycling through a variety of other activities.
