also assist the two cities with planning and administering any pilot program or event resulting <br />from the interview/survey phase. <br />The expected outcomes include: <br />• Determining if there is a need for bulky waste collection and recycling at multi -family <br />buildings. <br />• Designing a pilot program to meet the needs of the tenants and/or management of the <br />buildings. <br />• Recycling as much of the material from the bulky items as possible. <br />• Compiling a final report for Ramsey County. <br />Practices andpolicies that will be changed during the project <br />Lauderdale and Falcon Heights will seek to determine how the cities could facilitate collection <br />and recycling of bulky items that apartment residents need to dispose of at the time they move <br />out or at other times, and items that may otherwise end up abandoned on boulevards and alleys <br />or in dumpsters. Based on the results of surveying landlords and tenants, the cities will design a <br />collaborative event or program for diverting this waste to recycling. <br />0 <br />Key individuals participating in the project and their roles <br />Jim Bownik — Coordinator for the City of Lauderdale <br />Deb Jones — Coordinator for the City of Falcon Heights <br />Susan Young — Foth <br />WEEMM= <br />June, 2014 — Design surveys, compile list of landlords to be contacted <br />June — July, 2014 — Conduct interviews of landlords and survey tenants <br />Mid to late July — Determine feasibility of pilot collection event and plan pilot <br />August 2014 — Publicize pilot to target populations (apartment residents, property <br />management) <br />Early September (target is week after September I move out/move in — carry out <br />collection pilot <br />September — October — evaluate and report <br />Why the project is compelling and worth funding <br />This project is compelling because Lauderdale and Falcon Heights both have open collection <br />systems. Residents must individually arrange with a garbage hauler for collection of bulky items <br />and pay an extra fee for this service, which can be quite costly. There is no incentive for the <br />haulers to provide recycling options for the bulky items, and a significant amount of material that <br />
