The jurisdiction-wide control measures <br />described below will be conducted through participation in ACCWP. <br /> Litter Outreach to K-12 Schools <br />K-12 schools are often high litter generation areas. ACCWP has developed a request for <br />proposal for a four-year litter reduction education/outreach grant directed at K-12 <br />schools throughout Alameda County. ACCWP intends to award a total of up to <br />$125,000 per year to up to four successful applicants. The goals of the project are to <br />clearly reduce the amount of litter at the participating schools and incorporate <br />institutional changes at the schools so that litter will continue to be reduced in the <br />future. Implementation is scheduled to begin in the 2014/15 school year. The request for <br />proposal will include a requirement to evaluate the level of litter reduction achieved. A <br />description of the successful proposals will be included in the ACCWP Fiscal Year <br />2013/14 Annual Report. “Be the Street” Youth Anti-Litter Advertising Campaign <br />Intentional litter by youth has been found to be a significant contributor to litter <br />problems. To address this issue, ACCWP has participated in the development and implementation of the Be the Street campaign. Be the Street is a Bay Area wide <br />outreach effort that takes a Community Based Social Marketing approach to encourage youth to keep their community clean (http://www.bethestreet.org/). The <br />intent of the campaign is to make “no-littering” the norm among the target audience (youth between the ages of 14 and 24). The campaign is a three-year effort that began <br />in fiscal year 2011-12 and will run through 2013-14. ACCWP has been participating in and providing financial support to the Be the Street campaign since its inception. The <br />campaign will be evaluated in the spring of 2014. Depending upon the results of the evaluation, ACCWP may continue to participate in this or similar efforts in future years. <br />Multi-Family Dwelling Litter Outreach <br />Multi-family dwellings (i.e., apartment buildings and condominium complexes) are often areas of high trash generation. ACCWP is working with the City of Livermore to develop <br />a litter reduction pilot targeting multi-family complexes known to be sites with significant <br />litter issues. The pilot includes the following apartment building and condominium <br />complexes: Livermore Garden Apartments (5720 East Avenue), La Castilleja (975 <br />Murrieta Boulevard), and Castilleja Del Arroyo (1001 and 1009 Murrieta Boulevard). <br /> <br />348
