Duluth Based on data provided by WLSSD, there are 24,505 households being serviced by licensed haulers in Duluth. Collection services for both MSW and recycling are provided by a total of six different companies. The levels of services (volume of garbage containers) provided to residents varies by hauler.

Recycling containers are provided by haulers. The majority of the residents are offered single sort recycling by their hauler (Tables 4-12, Haulers B & C, 59.5% of residential market share). Some haulers (Table 4-12, Haulers A and "Other", 40.5% of residential market share) offer dual sort recycling to their residents which is collected every week. Additional curbside collection services (yard waste, bulky items, appliances, holiday tree collection) vary by hauler as well. Costs associated with the services are not readily available as they vary from hauler to hauler and are not public information. WLSSD has a drop-off site for residents to use for yard waste. Residents may drop off appliances, electronics, clean construction and demolition debris, mattresses and other materials at the WLSSD Material Recovery Center. In most cases, residents are required to pay a fee for the disposal of these items.

The Dakota County Eco-Site located in Eagan accepts recyclables and electronic waste for no charge. In an attempt to reduce overall truck traffic in neighborhoods, the City is separated into three sections (zones) for collection services. This minimizes the days the vehicles are on the streets in a particular neighborhood, but doesn't necessarily minimize the number of vehicles. 78 •Foth Infrastructure & Environment, LLC R - Analysis of Waste Collection Service Arrangements.doc June 2009
