Recycling Program Update — Environmental Coordinator Asleson explained that <br /> earlier in the year staff discussed mattress and furniture recycling and the informal <br /> process of collecting costs for handling items . In recent months he is seeing the SCORE <br /> funds balance dropping. He is recommending that some additional costs be recovered <br /> through the recycling day. Working with the vendor who helps with recycling, he has <br /> worked out some appropriate fees based on the cost of handling the mattresses and also <br /> furniture by the tonnage. Mr. Asleson said he feels that the fees are fair and the city is <br /> still offering a good deal. <br /> Mayor Reinert said the ability to offer the service for free is not possible at this time. A <br /> council member asked about non-resident use of the recycling services and Mr. Asleson <br /> explained that identification is checked and there has been very little participation by <br /> outside of city residents . <br /> Mr. Asleson also noted that staff is looking at the "bridging" idea that would provide for <br /> reuse of usable furniture. He will be meeting with representatives of the bridging <br /> program as well as Anoka County to discuss possibilities and standards . <br /> The council concurred with staff s proposed recycling program change . <br /> 2.
