REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION Families, Fields and Fair __________________________ Meeting Date August 24, 2011 Agenda Item Policy G1 Attachment Recycling Statistics Submitted By Justin Miller, City Administrator The City That Soars! Item Review of 2011 Recycling Statistics Description Beginning in January 2011, the City of Falcon Heights transitioned to a single sort recycling system. Staff has been tracking the results of this new system and has been comparing them to statistics from 2010, when the city utilized a dual sort program. The reports provided by Tennis Sanitation have showed the following:  Participation among single family residents has increased each month over the same month from 2010. For the first seven months of 2011, the number of households participating has increased from 65.1% to 73.7%.  Likewise, the total amount of materials recycled has increased. For the months that single family and multi family statistics were separated (March- July), the amount of material recycled from single family households increased from 134.35 tons to 177.46 tons (32% increase).  According to Tennis Sanitation, the amount of non-recyclable materials picked up is averaging about 4%.  In total, for the first seven months of 2011, the Falcon Heights community has recycled 264.74 tons of material. Unfortunately, a few reporting discrepancies are keeping us from conducting a true 2010 vs. 2011 comparison. These problems include:  2010 data for multi-family units does not appear to be reliable. These reports show that there was exactly the same amount of materials collected from month to month. It is highly unlikely that the amount recycled was identical each month in buildings that have tenant turnover like apartment buildings experience. Staff is tracking the monthly multi-family recycling statistics, but comparing 2011 to 2010 would not be worthwhile due to the incomplete data from 2010.  The first two months of the 2011 reports did not split out tonnage collected between single family and multi-family structures. It was impossible to go back and split out these totals, but Tennis Sanitation did change their reporting once we brought this to their attention.
