The next meeting will be held on October 27, <br /> 2021. <br /> He discussed the Recycling Ambassador program conducted by Anoka County and <br /> provided the Environmental Board with information on how the program works and <br /> how to sign up. <br /> Mr. Davis and Mr. Nelson have completed The Select Committee on Recycling and <br /> the Environment(SCORE) Report for the months of January to June 2021 and will be <br /> hearing back from the County some time during or after October 2021. Mr. Sullivan <br /> inquired about the City's progress on the County's recycling goals. The City was at <br /> roughly 86% of the I"half of 2021 tonnage goal, but staff expects these numbers to <br /> increase with addition of organics bins and weekly parks recycling pick up. <br /> Mr. Sullivan inquired about the City's efforts to improve business recycling outreach. <br /> Mr. Davis responded that he sent the County a list of all businesses within the Lino <br /> Lakes, and the County will be sending outreach postcards to all addresses on the list. <br /> Mr. Nelson stated this is the extent of the work staff can do towards business <br /> recycling, as the SCORE reimbursement funds are to be used for residential recycling <br /> programs and the city would not be compensated for efforts on business recycling. <br /> VIII.
