1 S 4-1. b u. l. \M c_ <br />WS — Item 1.5 <br />WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT <br />Work Session Item No. 1.5 <br />Date: September 4, 2012 <br />To: City Council <br />From: Marty Asleson <br />Re: The placement of can cages for recycling and fundraising efforts. <br />Background <br />An Anoka County Recycling Enhancement Grant was recently awarded to and approved <br />by the Council. Part of the grant is the purchase or construction of "can- cages ". <br />Aluminum can cages are written into the grant in order to involve our public both <br />residential and business to cooperatively recycle their cans in municipal collection <br />stations to promote fundraising and involvement in building our community park. <br />Council member Roeser has discussed the placement of these collection cages with our <br />District Fire Chief to place the cages at each fire station. Profits from the sale of <br />aluminum will go to the community park building effort, and the tonnages of the <br />collected materials will go to the credit of the municipalities within which the structures <br />are located. <br />After further investigation, ACE Solid Waste has offered the cages at no cost to the City. <br />A hauling charge of approximately $85 would be charged for hauling. Potential profit <br />from one cage would be approximately $1200.00 <br />Requested Council Direction <br />Staff is asking Council approval to proceed. <br />Attachments <br />1. Can Cages <br />
