COMMISSION ITEM SUMMARY
Condensed Title:
A Resolution Approving The Design Of The Recycling Receptacle To Be Provided Under The Coca -Cola
Sponsorship Agreement And The Design Of A Matching Trash Receptacle As Recommended By The
Finance And Citywide Projects Committee.
Key Intended Outcome Supported:
Enhance the Environmental Sustainability of the Community and Improve Cleanliness of Miami Beach
Rights of Way Especially in Business Areas.
Supporting Data (Surveys, Environmental Scan, etc.): Under the 2012 Community Survey the City of
Miami Beach received moderate ratings on its efforts to be green (66% positive) and on its sustainability
initiatives 63% positive).
Issue:
Shall the Mayor and City Commission approve the design of the recycling receptacle to be provided under
the Coca -Cola Sponsorship Agreement and the design of a matching trash receptacle as recommended
by the Finance and Citywide Projects Committee?
Item Summa /Recommendation:
The Sustainability Committee recommended that the City consider improving the design of the recycling
bins currently deployed throughout the City. In addition, it has been established that placing recycling bins,
next to trash bins will improve recycling rates in the public right -of -way (ROW).
Coca -Cola has designed a dual recycling and trash unit with die -cut messaging. In the Euclid Circle
demonstration project, Coca - Cola's recycling bin was the most successful prototype, having the least
amount of cross contamination and largest quantity of recyclables present.
The City needs 43 dual units (43 recycling bins plus 43 trash bins) to serve Lincoln Road. Per its
sponsorship agreement, Coca -Cola will provide the 43 recycling bins. However, the City will need to
purchase the 43 matching trash bins designed by Coca -Cola to provide a uniform dual unit. .
In light of the Historic Preservation Board's Resolution to further develop the design for the containers in a
manner more consistent with the City's design characteristics, an alternative could be to coordinate the
colors of the recycling and trash bins to match the colors of the City's sign program along Lincoln Road. If
this alternative is desired, the recycling bins would remain silver and the trash bins could be blue. This
would add to the character of Lincoln Road and show a well planned, organized street furniture program,
while maintaining the functionality of the proposed bins.
However, in considering this alternative the color of the other trash bins citywide should be considered as
those are dark green. If the blue trash bins were selected the City could change the color of all trash bins
citywide overtime as they are replaced or in need of repainting. The Administration is seeking direction
from the City Commission on whether the change the color of the trash bins on Lincoln Road from dark
green to the City's approved blue.
Once approved, the City will still need to bid and purchase the matching trash bins for Lincoln Road.
THE ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE RESOLUTION.
Advisory Board Recommendation:
On July 9, 2012, the FCWPC recommended that the Commission approve the Coca -Cola recycling
receptacle design and include a matching trash receptacle. On September 11, 2012, the HPB
recommended that Coca -Cola develop a design more consistent with the unique characteristics of the City.
On October 2, 2012, the DRB recommended that the City move forward the p dual bin design.

COMMISSION MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Matti Herrera Bower and Members of the City Commission
FROM: Kathie G. Brooks, Interim City Manager
DATE: October 24, 2012
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH,
FLORIDA, APPROVING THE DESIGN OF THE RECYCLING RECEPTACLE TO BE PROVIDED
UNDER THE COCA -COLA SPONSORSHIP AGREEMENT AND THE DESIGN OF A MATCHING
TRASH RECEPTACLE AS RECOMMENDED BY THE FINANCE AND CITYWIDE PROJECTS
COMMITTEE.
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends adopting the resolution.
BACKGROUND
The Sustainability Committee believes that the City should consider improving the design of the
recycling bins currently deployed throughout the City. In addition, it has been established that
placing recycling bins next to trash bins will improve recycling rates in the right -of -way (ROW).
On May 17, 2012, the Finance and Citywide Projects Committee ( FCWPC) reviewed the Euclid
Circle recycling bin demonstration. The Committee recommended that during FY 2012/13 budget
discussion, staff determine the number and locations of recycling bins that are needed in the ROW,
and present a cost comparison for the current silver bin, the Coca -Cola recycling bin, and /or the Big
Belly recycling bin.
On July 9, 2012, FCWPC determined that the Coca -Cola recycling bin design was the most cost -
effective model, approved the Coca -Cola design, and recommended that a dual recycling and trash
receptacle be developed and installed as a pilot project along Lincoln Road. The Committee
recommended that the Historic Preservation Board (HPB) and the Design Review Board (DRB)
provide comment on the design.
On September 11, 2012, the HPB passed a resolution encouraging Coca -Cola to further develop
the design for the containers in a manner more consistent with the unique design characteristics of
the City of Miami Beach (Attachment A).
On October 2, 2012, the DRB passed a resolution recommending a more rounded metal rain hood,
with the inclusion of the Miami Beach logo to be located on the trash container in addition to its
location on the recycling container (Attachments B & C).

October 24, 2012

Current ROW Recycling Program
Since 2009, the City has installed 74 dual recycling bins and 63 silver urban style stand -alone
recycling bins throughout the City's ROW, beach entrances, and in select parks. The City services
the ROW bins along Lincoln Road and Ocean Drive and the waste haulers service those in City
parks, beach entrances and other ROW locations. The ROW bins are serviced on a regular
schedule to ensure a high level of service.
As part of the Coca -Cola Sponsorship Agreement, Coca -Cola developed signage for the existing
silver recycling bins and wraps for the dual bins used at beach accesses and parks. The wraps
have been installed and the signage for the silver bins will be installed shortly. All existing recycling
bins and all future recycling bins to be purchased by the City will include this updated recycling
message to create a uniform design throughout the City.
Proposed ROW Recycling Bin Pilot Program
Coca -Cola has designed a custom recycling bin and matching trash bin, with die -cut messaging that
can be placed together to create a dual unit (Attachment C). In the Euclid Circle demonstration
project, Coca - Cola's recycling bin was the most successful prototype, having the least amount of
cross contamination and largest quantity of recyclables present.
The City needs 43 dual units (43 recycling bins plus 43 trash bins) to serve Lincoln Road. Per its
Sponsorship Agreement, Coca -Cola will provide the 43 recycling bins. However, the City will need
to purchase 43 matching trash bins designed by Coca -Cola to provide a uniform dual unit.
Staff recommends that the ROW Recycling Bin Pilot Program be phased, beginning with the Lincoln
Road Coca -Cola dual recycling and trash receptacle pilot project. If the new bins are successful, the
City will purchase an additional 83 dual units to deploy throughout the entertainment districts. The
existing 52 silver bins currently located in these districts would then be repositioned along identified
high pedestrian areas.
ANALYSIS
Attachment D illustrates the Coca -Cola dual unit cost and total capital cost for Lincoln Road over five
years. The cost per individual recycling bin designed by Coca -Cola is $800. The trash and recycling
bins are priced individually. Coca -Cola has committed to provide 43 individual recycling bins to be
installed, at no cost to the City. The City would be responsible for purchasing the 43 matching trash
bins to complete the 43 dual units necessary along Lincoln Road. It is estimated that maintenance
costs for these 86 bins will be $1,075 per year and the refurbishment costs will be $5,375 every two
years. Over 5 years, the total cost of the ROW Recycling Bin Pilot Program is estimated to be
$43,000.
In light of the Historic Preservation Board's Resolution to further develop the design for the
containers in a manner more consistent with the City's design characteristics, an alternative could
be to coordinate the colors of the recycling and trash bins to match the colors of the City's sign
program along Lincoln Road. If this alternative is desired, the recycling bins would remain silver and
the trash bins could be blue. This would add to the character of Lincoln Road and show a well
planned, organized street furniture program, while maintaining the functionality of the proposed bins.
However, in considering this alternative the color of the other trash bins citywide should be
considered as those are dark green. Historically, the City has purchased green trash bins
throughout the City to remain consistent and reinforce that trash should be disposed of in green

bins. If the blue trash bins were selected the City could change the color of all trash bins citywide
overtime as they are replaced or in need of repainting.
The Administration is seeking direction from the City Commission on whether the change the color
of the trash bins on Lincoln Road from dark green to the City's approved blue.
Once approved, the City will still need to bid and purchase the matching trash bins for Lincoln Road.
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission adopt the resolution.
