These proposals must abide by the guidelines listed below. A two week period will be granted to cities to revise proposal which evaluators have determined do not meet these guidelines. — The grant money must be used to fund curbside collection services, public education activities and administrative functions. Public education and administrative activities together must not exceed 25% of the total recycling program budget. Public education must, at least, consist of a brochure to all households being served by the program. — Recycled materials must be delivered to the Ramsey County Recycling Facility. Newspapers can be delivered directly to market but paper market weight slips must be submitted as part of the reporting requirements. — Newspapers, glass, (clear, brown and green) and aluminum and bimetal soft drink cans and tin cans must be collected curbside at least monthly. — A midterm and a final report must be submitted to the county. The report should include a list of the program activities and their costs, a narrative explaining the successes and shortcomings of the program, any progress made on implementing organized collection, and any data collected such as participation rates and tonnages collected. Tonnage information needs to be collected in order to acquire reimbursement from the Metropolitan Council's landfill abatement cost recovery program and the tonnage payment program. — Demonstrable efforts to be made to move from an open hauling system to an organized collection system which eventually will include provisions for curbside recycling services. Time Line The goal is to have curbside service start in July. This requires that several administrative functions be carried out simultaneously between the city, county and recycling contractors. The following time line is ambitious but musts be adhered to in order to begin curbside service by July 1987. paged 18
