To bring materials to the compost site, residents must purchase an annual self -haul permit for $20.00. This permit allows the residents to self haul unlimited amounts of yard waste to the compost site. Permit holders may take composted soil and wood chips from the site free of charge for personal use. Special pickups for disposal of bulky items such as furniture, mattresses, box springs, carpeting, lumber, etc., is available to all City MSW and recycling collection customers. These pickups will be scheduled on the customer's MSW collection days. Customers must call at least one day in advance to schedule a pickup. There is no limit on number of collections a resident may request. There is a minimum charge of $20.00 for up to two cubic yards of material. Additional materials will be charged $10.00 per cubic yard. These additional charges will be reflected on a resident's bi-monthly utility bill. Stillwater Waste Management is responsible for billing residents for their MSW and recyclable material collections services.

Additional waste outside of a resident's service level will be collected for a fee of $1.50 for each additional 30 gallon bag. Waste Management provides MSW containers for all residents. All service levels also include appliance, bulky item and seasonal yard waste curbside collection for no additional cost. Residents may also place a reasonable amount of electronics for curbside collection free of charge. After the reasonable number has been met, the hauler may bill the resident directly for any additional electronic collection. The City also hosts an annual Household Hazardous Waste day when residents may bring a reasonable amount of electronics for disposal free of charge. Some additional services are included in the contract at no additional cost to the City. The cost to the hauler for these services are actually likely covered in the base rate charged to residents for R - Analysis of Waste Collection Service Arrangements.doc Foth Infrastructure & Environment, LLC • 97 June 2009
