Protecting our communitys health and the environment by providing solid waste and wastewater collection services.
CMSD Contribution Program
(Adopted by Board action on November 20, 2014)
Overview
The Costa Mesa Sanitary District (CMSD) is committed to contributing to special events that will benefit the
entire community and the District. CMSD will review requests for contributions on a case-by-case basis, but
higher emphasis is placed on events that benefit the District’s purposes, especially those that promote schools,
education, youth programs, and protection of the environment. To be eligible for a contribution, the
contribution must further the District’s statutory purposes of solid waste collection, recycling, source
reduction, or wastewater collection. When submitting a request, please consider answering the following
questions:
1. How will CMSD’s contribution to your event benefit and serve the statutory purposes of solid waste
collection, recycling, source reduction, or wastewater collection? For example, a request that meets
CMSD’s criteria would help promote one or more of CMSD’s solid waste or wastewater programs,
such as organics recycling, hazardous waste collection, sharps/medication disposal, grease recycling,
large item collection, sewer lateral maintenance, sewer spill prevention, etc.
2. How will a contribution to your event advance CMSD’s purposes? Examples include allowing CMSD
staff to host a community booth at the event or allowing CMSD to disseminate messaging to promote
its solid waste or wastewater programs through various media (such as event programs, flyers,
signage/banners, social media posts, advertisements, etc.).
Mobile Generator Rentals
If your event needs alternative power, CMSD will consider loaning one or more of its mobile generators in lieu
of a monetary contribution for your event, provided the criteria of this program are met. Generators available
are 45 horsepower, 60 hertz, 208/240/416/480 voltage with a 3-Position selector switch.
If approved to receive one or more CMSD mobile generators, you will be required to perform at least one of
the following activities at your event or a similar activity that satisfies the criteria of this program:
Prominently display signs at your event that encourage recycling. Developing signs will be at your own
expense and signs must be approved by CMSD.
Make recycling cans available to encourage people to discard recyclable items.
Advertise a CMSD program in your pamphlet, flyer, and/or event program.
Advertise a CMSD program on your event website and/or any other social media page.
Allow a CMSD booth to be present at your event for CMSD staff to disseminate information about
CMSD programs.
To submit a request to CMSD to be a contributor for your event, please complete the attached application and
submit it to District staff at least ten days prior to the CMSD regular Board of Directors meeting that precedes
your event date. All requests must be considered and approved by the Board of Directors prior to the event
date.
Applications may be submitted by fax, e-mail, mail or in-person. Applicants will be contacted and provided
information as to when the Board of Directors will review their applications. Applicants are encouraged (but
not required) to attend the Board meeting.
Note: CMSD will not contribute to events that are politically oriented or discriminatory towards or
against a specific public opinion, group or person, nor will it contribute to a commercial or for-profit
entity. Only non-profit entities and other government entities will be considered for the Contribution
Program.
