Park ContainersThe recycling and compost con-
tainers at city parks are made of concrete and have painted steel doors. The recycling door is paint-ed blue and the compost door is dark green. Each compartment holds 23 gallons.
The containers have an expect-ed lifespan of 25 years and were created by Outdoor Creations after working with Alameda on the design for about a year.
Most parks have one or two containers. Larger parks like Lincoln Park at 1450 High St., and Washington Park at 740 Central Ave. each have several bins.
Business District ContainersThe receptacles in the business
districts and ferry terminals have a different look. They’re completely dark green, though the compart-ment for recyclables has a blue front panel.
The business district boards voted unanimously in support of the project, which included collab-oration between Public Works staff and the districts on the containers’ design, aesthetics and locations.
The containers were designed by CleanRiver, a recycled products manufacturer. They’re made out of plastic lumber, which is comprised of 95 percent post-consumer high-density polyethylene (HDPE). The expected lifespan is 10 to 15 years.
The grant application received support from the Downtown Alameda Business Association, West Alameda Business Association, Alameda Friends of the Parks Foundation and Community Action for a Sustainable Alameda.

George “Frank” Robert Musso was born in Alameda on Aug. 9, 1926, to George and Jean Musso. He attended Versailles and Lincoln schools. He gradu-ated from Alameda High School in 1944, at which time he enlisted in the Navy.He served at the Alameda Naval Air Station and on an aviation supply ship in the Pacific.
Following his release from active duty, Frank attended San Francisco State College where he received his bachelor’s degree with an earth sci-ence major. In 1950 he was recalled to active duty and assigned to a fighter squadron on the aircraft carrier USS Princeton, serving in North Korean waters.
Upon his second release from service Frank was employed as a hydrologist for the U.S. Geological Survey, and built river gauging sta-tions and made river runoff mea-surements between Salinas and the Oregon border. His experience taming nature led him to an inter-est in planning, and he became a planner for Northern California counties.
From there, he embarked upon 17 years as the planning director of Livermore, where he was respon-sible for drafting the city’s original
general plan. Lastly he was employed as the planning director and city manager of Saint Helena.
During his tenure in these communities he was characterized by the local press as the “conscience of the community” and “a rapier sharp
technician.” After retirement Frank returned to Alameda where he was a member of the Aeolian Yacht Club; on the boards of the Italian American League and the Alameda Naval Air Museum.
He also did extras work for a number of film and television programs. He is survived by his sister, Lillian Molzan; sons Mark (Annette) and Paul; and daughter Juliet (Chris Weare). He is also survived by five grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
There will be a celebration of Frank’s life at 3 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 31, at the Italian American

Alameda poet and artist Phillip James “Jimmy” Seamount passed away Jan. 24. Born in Colorado in 1927, he later migrated to California, joining the Navy during World War II. He stayed in the Golden State the rest of his life working for the Navy Department in Alameda until his retirement.
He discovered both poetry and oil painting during retirement as well as his pursuit of the Stock Market. Jimmy was always seen around town as he was an avid walk-er to the very end. He always had a
love of animals leaving behind his beloved cat Notis. He is survived by his sister Marjorie Roach and brother Dan Seamount and many cousins, nieces and nephews.
In his memory donations to the Friends of Alameda Animal Shelter would be appreciated. No services are planned at this time.
