My name is Truhill Noel, and I am a proud resident of East Palo Alto for over 35 years. I am writing to respectfully request a waiver of the $13,000 temporary use permit fee for my proposed recycling community center located at 1788 East Bayshore Road, East Palo Alto, CA 94303.
This center will be the only facility in East Palo Alto, as well as the neighboring cities of Palo Alto and Menlo Park, where residents can redeem cash for their recyclable goods under the CalRecycle Beverage Container Program. Beyond recycling redemption, our center will also offer valuable community resources, including a small computer lab for digital literacy and environmental education programs. Furthermore, we plan to provide mentorship, tutoring, and volunteer opportunities for disadvantaged youth and young adults, aiming to offer positive alternatives and deter involvement in potentially harmful environments.
Having passed my CalRecycle exam and holding a voucher to begin operations, I am eager to bring this much-needed service and community support to East Palo Alto. We believe our center will not only promote environmental sustainability but also provide crucial resources and opportunities for our community members.
Thank you for considering my request. I am available to discuss this matter further at your convenience.
Sincerely,
Truhill Noel Resident of East Palo Alto

I need to correct my email address that's on file. There is a typo, the "W" should be an "A" instead. So corrected it should say apecity650@gmail.com
