• <br />E-Z is proud of their high recovery rate, over 95%. (98% has also been quoted.) They do not <br />own their own landfill, so it costs them to dispose of residual material. Therefore, they are <br />strongly motivated to recover as much as possible, and from everything I saw, they do an <br />excellent job. They are now collecting recyclables in the 2-sort system from most of their <br />customers. I am satisfied that they have the ability to take care of Falcon Heights' recycling <br />collection as a two stream system without an increase in residuals going to landfill. Switching <br />collection methods in Falcon Heights would not be a backward move with respect to the <br />environment. <br />Also, Mr. Reinhardt said he would be happy to arrange a tour for any Commissioner or <br />Councilmember who would like to visit the plant during working hours. I know that's awkward <br />for working people and students, but if any of you would like me to set up a visit for you, please <br />let me know. <br />As you are all aware, the largest piece of making this change in Falcon Heights is educating <br />residents. We have the above plans in place to begin that process this month. Staff would <br />welcome any recommendations Commissioners or Council members may have on the material <br />that is going out and any suggestions of additional public information measures beyond those <br />already listed. <br />C, <br />• <br />31 <br />
