Recommendation from Solid Waste Committee On February 14th, the Lake Elmo Solid Waste Advisory Committee met with John Maroney who proposed a yard waste pick up program. Mr. Maroney proposes to sell, for 95 cents each (the price includes their pickup), a biodegradable yard waste bag in local stores (Hagbergs, Brooks, Lake Elmo Oil, etc.). These bags will be taken to Mr. Maroney's compost site in Woodbury. Our Lake Elmo Compost site will continue to remain open to those residents that chose to dispose of their own leaves and grass clippings at no charge. Mr. Maroney proposes offering a $25 lottery for each pickup, for each zone for a total of $100 a month. If the address selected did not recycle, the money would be donated to the City to promote recycling.
