Goals/2017 Revision Review <br /> <br />2017 Environmental Board Goals were discussed at the November 30, 2016 meeting. <br />Revised at the December 11, 2016 Environmental Board meeting and will be <br />presented at the City Council Work session on February 6, 2017 <br /> <br />B. Recycling Updates – Nan Jia <br /> <br />Ms. Jia went over Commercial Recycling Mandate that states that as of January 1, <br />2016 any business in the seven-county metro area that generates four cubic yards or <br />more of solid waste per week must begin recycling at least three materials, such as <br />paper, glass, plastic and metal. In addition, professional and collegiate sports <br />facilities anywhere in the state will also have to recycle at least three materials. <br />Industries exempt from the new rules include agriculture, construction and <br />manufacturing. <br /> <br />Ms. Andrzejewski asked if Ms. Jia has reached out to the schools about recycling at <br />least three materials. As of now the school has been recycling only paper. <br /> <br />Ms. Andrzejewski thought that if Ms. Jia went to the student councils and got the <br />students involved this would be a great start. <br />
