5. Solid Waste (Paul Smith) <br />The Shoreview plan contains solid and hazardous waste elements <br />describing current waste management services in the city and <br />Ramsey County. The solid waste element describes the location of <br />the recycling facilities that operate within the city, the waste <br />haulers who are licensed by the city and Ramsey County's diseased <br />tree waste chipping facility. It also contains an estimate of <br />the amount of solid waste generated within the city. The <br />hazardous waste element of the plan describes the legislative <br />authority of the Waste Management Board and the process that <br />local units of government can use to petition for a local <br />hazardous waste treatment facility. <br />The solid and hazardous waste elements of the plan demonstrate <br />local responsibility and commitment for dealing with these <br />controversial issues and the city is to be commended for <br />addressing these matters. <br />Shoreview has also indicated that the city has adopted an <br />ordinance governing the collection and disposal of solid waste <br />within its boundaries, per the statutory requirement under the <br />1976 Solid Waste Act (Minnesota Statutes Section 473.811). <br />V.
