Ayes (4) Blesener, Allan, Montour, Keis. Nays (1) LaValle. Resolution declared adopted. SINGLE The City Administrator reported that the City's contract with trash haulers SORT expires at the end of the year. One of the aspects of the contract is RECYCLING recycling, and Waste Management and Allied Waste would like to go to single -sort recycling versus two sort. The Administrator noted that there are four haulers operating in the City: Waste Management, Allied Waste, Horrigan's, and Gene's Disposal. Gene's Disposal does not have the capability of going to single -sort recycling, and Horrigan's recycling route is done by Waste Management. Therefore, the property owners along Gene's route would continue with two -sort recycling. The Administrator reported that the City surveyed Gene's customers, and they overwhelming supported retaining Gene's as their hauler even though they understand they will not be able to convert to the single -sort recycling. This route encompasses 26 properties. Jennefer Klennert, Waste Management, and Rich I-iirstein, Allied Waste, appeared before the Council to report on single sort recycling. Hirstein displayed samples of the bins that would be used and pointed out that all recycling would be placed in this bin — there is no need to sort recyclables. There is information on the covers of the bins describing what is recyclable and what is not. Hirstein pointed out that the single -sort bins allow the pick -up process to be automated. One significant change, however, is recycling would be picked up every other week rather than weekly. To avoid confusion about pick -up dates, calendars would be provided to all residents. Hirstein noted that the every other week pick up saves wear and tear on City streets. 4 6
