5. Santa Ana/City-Cycle MRF Activities <br /> An exciting addition to Great Western Reclamation's educational efforts will be <br /> the Santa Ana/City-Cycle Material Recovery Facility(SAMRF). Included in SAMRF's <br /> design will be a visitors' center and viewing locations of the entire operation. <br /> SAMRF will introduce students, businesses and community groups, environmental <br /> clubs and Santa Ana residents to recycling. Staff, exhibits, and displays will <br /> illustrate the collection, recycling, processing and reuse process. <br /> At the SAMRF we will visibly demonstrate the intricacies of recycling markets <br /> and the variety of grades, alloys, and resins each material can be made of, and <br /> how those varieties affect each other in the recycling process. <br /> We'll also teach visitors about the impact of recycling and reduction, the <br /> amounts of pollution, water, energy and natural resources saved by recycling and <br /> reduction. We'll show them how their purchasing habits affect the SAMRF, and <br /> give them options and outlets for improving their environmental buying habits. <br /> SAMRF staff will be trained to help with special classroom projects on the <br /> environment and to provide teaching assistance on environmental issues to Santa <br /> Ana schools. The SAMRF program includes programs developed for elementary, <br /> middle school and high school students to take advantage of and learn about their <br /> environment. <br /> The SAMRF is designed to be a showcase of environmental education, to help <br /> those residents, businesses, students and community groups improve their <br /> understanding of the Santa Ana environment and that of the world. <br /> 6.

We believe it is an opportunity to reduce <br /> the problem of illegal alley dumping. We want to make sure customers know <br /> about, and take advantage of this program. To accomplish this, we propose' a <br /> 74 <br />
