of the ice cream social. As an informational item, Shoreview reported that it took in up to 30 <br /> car seats at its cleanup day, of which five were suitable for refurbishing and reuse. <br /> ICE CREAM SOCIAL: Discussion continued regarding a possible Solid Waste Commission <br /> booth at the ice cream social. Rather than preparing an informational sheet for the event, the <br /> Commission decided to distribute the disposal guide and the calendar showing recycling dates, <br /> both of which have previously been prepared. Ramsey County also publishes information <br /> which could be made available. Mike Haglund and John Brynildson will look into the <br /> availability of "freebies" such as magnets or pens from various industrial sources. Recycling <br /> signs can be available free of charge, and extra recycling bins can be offered for sale. A <br /> drawing may be held to give away a few bins. Bins will also be used to construct the <br /> Commission's display (subject to engineering limitations). Staffing of the booth is to be <br /> determined. <br /> COMMERCIAL RECYCLING SURVEY: Discussion continued of the possibility of <br /> surveying Falcon Heights businesses regarding their recycling practices and needs. The <br /> purpose would be to evaluate the effectiveness of commercial recycling efforts and determine <br /> whether the City can be of assistance in encouraging participation. The City could even <br /> consider instituting mandatory and/or organized recycling for businesses, but would need to <br /> address issues such as the type of products and location of businesses, as well as the cost and <br /> administrative burden to the City. A survey of businesses regarding recycling has previously <br /> been done; Carla Asleson will check the City's records for the results of that survey. Ramsey <br /> County has previously committed to working with businesses on a county-wide basis. The <br /> Commission will ask the County for an update of its activities in that regard. <br /> On the motion of Susan Smith, seconded by Michael Haglund, the meeting was adjourned at <br /> 9:00 p.m. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> Susan K. Smith, Secretary <br /> 9999- 1779401 <br /> 3 <br />
