1 Introduction <br /> The City of Mounds View has developed these standards as specific requirements for the <br /> storage, collection and transportation of solid waste. The goals of these standards are to: <br /> • Achieve a reduction in waste generated in the City. <br /> • Encourage the separation and recovery of materials and energy from waste. <br /> • Ensure the protection of public health and safety and promote City cleanliness and <br /> livability. <br /> • Provide high quality solid waste and recycling services in the most cost-effective manner <br /> possible. <br /> • Promote best management practices in solid waste management to protect air quality, <br /> water quality, and natural resources. <br /> • Be consistent with the requirements of the State statutes, State rules and Ramsey County <br /> ordinances, and with State and Ramsey County solid waste plans. <br /> • Implement the City's Garbage and Recycling requirements in Chapter 603 of the City <br /> Code through detailed instructions. <br /> To accomplish the above goals, it is important for the City to have specific and consistent <br /> instructions to follow as part of the solid waste collection system. These standards do not <br /> replace or supersede the City Code. The City administrator's authority for adopting or amending <br /> these standards comes from Chapter 603 of the City Code. <br /> These standards address: <br /> • Eligible items to be included in the garbage; <br /> • Resident's garbage storage requirements; <br /> • Recycling programs; <br /> • Bulky waste, yard waste and otherwaste collection and disposal requirements; <br /> • Multiple-unit and commercial solid waste collection and disposal requirements; <br /> • Administrative fees; and <br /> • Other collection system details that are part of the City's solid waste collection system. <br /> July 2014 City Of Mounds View•1 <br /> Solid Waste and Recycling Standards <br />
