Recently, CalRecycle narrowed the focus for new grant expenditures, requiring recipients to evaluate and implement other programming opportunities. In the CalRecycle 2016/2017 grant application cycle, grant funding was requested and approved to implement a litter abatement and recycling program utilizing the services of the Orange County Conservation Corps (OCCC). The OCCC empowers young adults from disadvantaged communities to earn a living while learning valuable employment skills through environmentally - based job training. The OCCC will provide a labor force to assist the City with alleyway litter abatement and recycling, which will include two Corps members and one Supervisor for 120 8 - hour days, and a stakebed truck.
