<br />APPROVED MINUTES <br /> <br /> Another success story is the National Sports Center that diverted 269,360 lbs. of <br /> recyclable material annually. They received a cardboard bailer and sold the <br /> material and money they get back goes into environmental initiatives. <br /> <br /> Ms. Ulbricht talked about the schools in the area. They have had success with <br /> Lino Lakes Elementary School, who received grant for recycling containers, and <br /> are considering an organics program. <br /> <br /> Ms. Ulbricht has made attempts to contact Blue Heron, Rice Lake Elementary and <br /> Centennial Middle Schools but so far has no one has not gotten back to her. <br /> <br /> All of the assistance that was mentioned is not provided to the schools by Waste <br /> Wise but is provided to the schools by the Anoka County staff. <br /> <br /> Ms. Holmes wanted to know who was contracted at the Centennial Schools and <br /> what the response was. <br /> <br /> Ms. Ulbricht showed a letter that was sent out to the principals and head <br /> custodians and a mailing with the assistance that is available. <br /> <br /> Ms. Klebba offered to give contact information on the high school recycling <br /> group. <br /> <br /> Ms. Holmes suggested contacting student councils and the area Boy Scouts – also <br /> this could be a good Eagle Scout project. <br /> <br /> Ms. Kaufenberg asked if there are resources for long-term projects. <br /> <br /> Mr. Klapperich replied that if business needs them to come back out and see what <br /> else can be done to increase the recycling or if new signage is needed. They do <br /> revisit the business if needed. <br /> <br /> The board thanked Waste Wise for coming to explain the program <br /> <br />A.
