Comments on Improving Existing Services The following are comments about potential improvements obtained directly from surveys. The comments cover a wide range of topics and various preferences. Open MSW/Open Recycling — Residents Woodbury ♦ I am happy with collection, but the cost is 2-3 times what I paid in Arizona! Although there the collection was managed by the City. I would like to see more done for an incentive for recycling. When we lived in Forest Lake we received a $2.00 credit per month for recycling. That was a large incentive to us to continue to make the extra effort to recycle. I think continued education is always helpful too. Open MSW/Organized Recycling — Residents St. Paul • I would like to see organized collection using one hauler on the same day each week. would like to see a process of selection based on price and level of service. • Limit days of week for collection. • Incentives for organized hauling. • Move recyclable service back to the alley. Have neighbors try attempt to organize collection. • One hauler per neighborhood — doesn't matter if one block is organized because the trucks serving the blocks to the east and west barrel down our alley. • It would be nice to have the garbage collection and recycling on the same day. Makes it a little easier to remember. • Recycling is fine, though I'd like to see organics added. Would also like to see one hauler for our neighborhood instead of multiple trucks. But St. Paul doesn't have the guts to change its open system, and my neighbors also aren't motivated to get together on this. • The City takes over the collection of solid waste entirely. I HATE this system of independent haulers who specialize in the garbage they take. I MUCH prefer the Minneapolis model. • Legislation to have block segments with organized hauling or assign specific neighborhoods with haulers based on their current % of service to the area.
