Discussion Based on city council’s comments on April 28, 2003, Staff is proposing an alteration of the existing ordinance 603.06, subdivision 2b, paragraphs 1 and 2 to the following: 603.06 b. Additional Restrictions for Residential Haulers: In addition to the other requirements of this Chapter, haulers servicing residences, mobile home parks and multiple dwellings shall comply with the following: (1) Curbside recycling collection will be made available to all residential and multiple dwelling customers no later than July 1, 1990. Such service shall include weekly collection of all recyclable materials on the same day as garbage and rubbish collection for residences. A bi-weekly collection period for recyclable material is permissible, provided the hauler provides single –sort service and a collection container equal to or larger than the provided garbage container. (2) Collection of garbage and rubbish materials and recyclable materials will be provided on a weekly basis, but not necessarily on the same day, for multiple dwellings and mobile home parks. A bi-weekly collection period for recyclable material is permissible, provided the hauler provides single –sort service and a collection container equal to or larger than the provided garbage container. These alterations will not restrict weekly pick up of recyclable materials for many residents who may continue to separate their recyclables and use standard recycling bin. Recommendation: Staff recommends that the City Council ordain an amendment to the Mounds View City Code allowing recyclable materials to be collected on a bi-weekly basis provided the hauler provides single –sort service and a collection container equal to or larger than the provided garbage container. Respectfully Submitted, Tracy Juell, Public Works Administrative Assistant
