Eagan <br />Three different collection bill survey responses were provided by residents of Eagan. All three <br />responses were for the 60 gallon service. In Table 4-4 above, the monthly service rate charged to <br />residents is an average of what was provided. The bills provided represent two of the seven <br />licensed residential haulers in the City. The average amount paid to the hauler was determined <br />by subtracting taxes and county fees from the total amount charged to residents. In an open <br />system such as Eagan, haulers may charge extra for various bulky waste set out by customers. <br />Often haulers will overlook charging for extra bags of garbage due to competitive reasons. <br />Rochester <br />Nine collection bill responses were provided by residents of Rochester. Seven of these responses <br />were for the 30 gallon service and two responses were for the 60 gallon service option. The bills <br />provided represent three of the 10 licensed residential haulers in Rochester.

Haulers are <br />required to structure their service options based on a volume based service fee.

The total amount the hauler needs to <br />collect for this service charge regulated to equal 5% of hauler's gross receipts. <br />Once again, haulers may charge extra for bulky wastes and may or may not charge for small <br />amounts of extra garbage. <br />Woodbury <br />Six different collection bill survey responses were provided by City staff that live in Woodbury. <br />One bill survey response was provided for 30 gallon service, two responses were provided for <br />the 60 gallon service, and three responses were provided for the 90 gallon service.

Each month <br />one address is drawn randomly from one of the City's four hauling districts. A City staff <br />member will check the winning address on that resident's designated collection day to see if they <br />are recycling. If so, that resident wins a prize of $50.00. The money to fund this program is <br />provided by Washington County. <br />St. Paul <br />Forty-five different collection bill survey responses were provided by City staff that live in St. <br />Paul.
