<br />City of Mounds View * 6 <br />Solid Waste and Recycling Standards <br />3.6 Upon collection by the owner or the owner’s contracted independent hauler, that person <br />shall deliver the designated recyclables to a recyclable material processing center, an <br />end market for sale or reuse, or to an intermediate collection center for later delivery to <br />a processing center or end market. No recyclable materials placed by residents in the <br />multiple-unit recyclables collection containers will be collected or disposed of as <br />garbage. It is unlawful for any person to transport for disposal or to dispose of <br />separated designated recyclables in a mixed municipal solid waste disposal facility. <br />The contractor or hauler shall transport all designated recyclables in a covered vehicle <br />so the recyclables do not drop or blow onto any public street or private or public <br />property during transport. <br /> <br />3.7 It is unlawful for any person, other than the owner or the owner’s independent hauler, <br />to collect, remove, or dispose of designated recyclables after the materials have been <br />placed or deposited for collection in the recycling containers. The owner, owner’s <br />employees, owner’s independent hauler’s employees, or City’s recycling contractor’s <br />employees may not collect or “scavenge” through recycling in any manner. <br /> <br /> <br />4 Multiple-Unit Recycling Program <br />4.1 Each owner of a building containing four (4) or more dwelling units shall provide for <br />recycling services for all units. <br /> <br />4.2 The owner of a multiple-unit dwelling shall make recycling services available and <br />convenient to the occupants of all dwelling units on the premise. The recyclables <br />collection services shall be available on the premises. The collection schedule and <br />recycling containers’ capacity shall provide for regular removal of the recyclables such <br />that there is adequate storage capacity available in the recyclables containers to prevent <br />overflowing containers. <br /> <br />4.3 Recyclable materials for multiple unit dwellings shall include the same list as the City’s <br />residential recycling program (see Sec. 3.2 above) unless the City approves a variance <br />in writing. <br /> <br />4.4 All recyclable materials placed by residents in the multiple-unit recyclables collection <br />containers must be collected at least weekly and processed and marketed for recycling <br />by a properly licensed recycling company, and all recyclables must be appropriately <br />recycled as required by Minnesota laws and regulations. <br /> <br />4.5 Adequate containers shall be in the same enclosure as the garbage containers and shall <br />be provided and maintained by the owner or by the recyclables hauler, whichever <br />provides the recycling collection service. Containers shall be: <br />A. Sufficient in number and size to meet the demands for recycling services created <br />by the occupants; <br />B. Equipped with self-closing lids such that residents may easily place recyclables in <br />the containers but recyclables shall not be exposed to wind, rain and snow, and <br />human and animal scavengers are discouraged from accessing or removing <br />recyclables;
