lllwater <br />THE BIRTHPLACE OF MINNESOTA <br />Dear City of Stillwater Resident, <br />On behalf of the City Council, I am pleased to announce that Single SortsM recycling is <br />coming to the City of Stillwater! Single SortaM recycling allows all recyclables to be placed <br />in a single container rather than being bagged and separated. <br />During the week of December 26, 2005 you will receive a 64- gallon heavy -duty green <br />cart with a yellow lid and wheels. The cart will be labeled with recycling instructions <br />and include a calendar showing the collection dates. Please place all of your acceptable <br />recyclable containers (clean glass bottles, metal cans, and narrow neck plastic bottles) <br />and all acceptable paper fibers (newspaper, junk mail, magazines, cardboard) into the <br />cart. All items can be placed in the cart loose, they do not have to be bagged or <br />separated. <br />Waste Management and the Stillwater City Council are asking that you use the 64- gallon <br />cart for an initial 90 days. After this initial trial period, if you find the cart is too small or <br />too large, you may have it switched to a larger or smaller cart by contacting Waste <br />Management directly at (952) 890 -1100. <br />Recycling collection using Single SortsM in your area will begin on your regular <br />collection day the week of January 9, 2006 (Green week). A calendar will be <br />included in information packet you receive with your new recycling cart. Your recycling <br />will be collected every -other -week with Single SortsM recycling. Please note there will <br />be no recycling collection the week of January 2, 2006. The new cart should be set at <br />the curb by 6:00 a.m. on your collection day with the handle facing the house on the <br />opposite side of the driveway from your garbage cart. <br />Currently, you have a recycling bin for recyclables. You may keep the recycling bin for <br />personal use. <br />Please contact Waste Management's customer service center directly at (952) 890 -1100 with <br />any giestions you may have about the new recycling program. We hope that the Single <br />Sorts recycling system will help you and the City meet our waste management goals to <br />REDUCE — REUSE — RECYCLE. <br />Sincerely, <br />Jay L. Kimble <br />Mayor <br />
