Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Study of Residential Waste & Recyclable Material Collection Efficiency, Economic & Environmental Impacts Related to Municipal Collection The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) is funding a study of residential waste and recyclable material collection arrangements statewide. This study will look at waste collection services and arrangements currently in place in the state's municipalities and the dynamics of their implementation. Information gained from this study will be used to determine the best methods for ensuring that local waste and recyclable material collection systems are efficient, economic and environmentally sound. MPCA has selected an independent contractor, Foth, to collect information as it relates to current waste and recyclable material collection practices and to gather pertinent data to achieve the study's goals. Completion of this work will occur before the end of FY09. This statewide effort will help to identify and quantify the environmental, economic, and public health impacts and gauge public opinion related to the collection of residential waste and recyclable materials.
