In turn, CalRecycle allocates the funds to cities and counties based on population. Cities and counties need to apply to receive their share of the funds.
Napa County has acted as lead agency for a regional used oil recycling program for over 20 years. Its regional partners have been and would include the cities of American Canyon, Calistoga, St. Helena, and the Town of Yountville. The County uses the funds to pay for purchase of used oil storage equipment, payment of used oil hauling costs, and advertisement of local used oil collection opportunities.
The CalRecycle payment to the Napa County regional program amounts to $30,000 per year ($5,000 per city and $10,000 for the county).

The County will include authorization letters from each of its city partners in its application for the upcoming funding cycle.
