SNELLING AVE Mr. Hylland informed those in attendance that the Department of Transport- (cont.) ation will hold a public hearing on the matter on January 11, 1982 at the Har Mar Community Center. As reouested by Council, Barbara Kelley, Executive Director of the Minnesota BARBARA Waste Association, a non-profit organization representing refuse haulers KELLEY, MN throughout the State, was in attendance to address Council's concern over WASTE ASSN. the number of refuse trucks operating on the City streets. ids. Kelley stated that most refuse haulers prefer the competitive system as under the contract system there is one hauler only and there is no guarantee that the contract would be granted to one of the haulers presently working in Falcon Heights, thus taking business from the others. Some options mentioned by Ms. Kelley were (1) haulers among themselves consolidate their stops so only one hauler is in any given area, a method that could be in violation of anti-trust laws, (2} open hauling variations such as in Roseville where there is sectioning and a day of the week assigned to each hauler and Maplewood which has hauling on Monday only, (3) a single contract and (Ia:) districting. In reply to a quevtion from Councilmember Ciernia regarding fuel con- GEORGE servation with some of the options George V'dalters of T~tialters Disposal WALTERS, replied that there would be very little fuel saved as the diesel trucks WALTERS used today can idle 10 to 12 hours per day on 1/2 to one gallon of fuel. DISPOSAL He added that there might be some savings in labor time as ten homes in a row could be serviced more quickly than doing every other one, however, it would be difficult to come up with a figure showing the savings. The largest expenses are landfill costs and the purchase price of the truck. Councilmembers Eggert and Ciernia inquired about the impact of the trucks on the streets, to which Mr. Walters replied that the axle weight of a truck is approximately seven tons and the Engineer added that the weight should not harm the streets as most streets in the City are nine ton. Mr. V~alters indicated that the Roseville method has not been a problem for his firm. ~4s. Kelley recommended that if the City does go to the one day a week plan that the haulers be called in for a meeting to determine a day that would be compatible.
