t-Avol - <br /> MEMO TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL <br /> f <br /> FROM: MARY SAARION, DIRECTOR / <br /> PARKS, RECREATION AND FORESTRY <br /> DATE: JULY 19, 1990 <br /> SUBJECT: INFORMATION REGARDING TRASH RECEPTACLES <br /> FOR SILVER VIEW PARK <br /> Twelve (12) individual 32 gallon capacity receptacles with dome tops in brown are <br /> requested for areas within the park. Several would be placed at activity sites and <br /> three to four would be placed on the pathway. Each unit is $188.00 plus freight or a <br /> total of $2,241.82. These units would be permanently mounted in a concrete slab. <br /> The receptacle is a 3/4 inch, 9 pound expanded steel mesh. This model has been <br /> installed in many of the neighborhood parks. Our experience is that this model is <br /> durable, trash is easily removed, the unit looks nice and the dome cover prevents <br /> trash from being wind blown. The dome top is chained to the unit and can be <br /> • further secured to help prevent dome tops from being vandalized. <br /> In addition, three Hid-a-Bag II double containers are requested at a price of $625.00 <br /> each plus freight or a total of $2,175.00. These larger receptacles are similar to <br /> decorative mini-dumpsters. Two would be placed near the picnic shelter and one at <br /> the end of the parking lot by the athletic fields. This unit would provide a side with <br /> an aluminum can deposit hole for recycling cans. The units are good looking and the <br /> brown color blends into the park nature environment. <br /> It is anticipated that the additional conveniently placed trash receptacles will <br /> encourage park users to place trash in the receptacles. Also, the decorative, uniform <br /> model of receptacles will provide amenities which offer consistency to the park. <br /> The total price of both models of units is $4,416.82. This cost would be funded with <br /> monies in the Park Improvement Fund. <br /> • MS/SL <br />
