Coppertone Supplying of Beach Trash Cans
Introduction
VIR 91 11"111
This report concerns the proposal presented by Coppertone to supply and maintain
trash cans on the Santa Monica State Beach.
Background
Coppertone, manufacturer of sun tanning products, has presented to the staff a
proposal through which they will provide and maintain trash cans of the type
now used by the City on the Santa Monica Beach. The number of trash cans
will be established by the City and will be as now supplied by the City.
Each of these cans will have a decal around it with the following:
Tan Don't Litter
Donated by Coppertone
The familiar logo of the little girl and the dog was dropped at the request of
the Recreation and Parks Commission. The company has agreed to this provision.
The Recreation and Parks Department must purchase 300 to 400 cans each year to
adequately supply the beach needs. Last summer there were 1,000 cans on the
beach. Each of these cans costs $13.50. Staff estimates that this offer would
save the City $4;000 to $5,000 annually in replacement costs.
Recommendation
Staff recommends the City Council accept the offer of Coppertone and authorize
the City Manager to enter into the attached agreement.
