New Brighton First, the County will fund printing costs for a fall 1983 flyer up to $250. Second, we know that shredding leaves will increase their rate of decompostion. We think it would be worthwhile to set up a simple experiment. We intend on shredding the leaves at New Brightonusing Hennepin County's shredder and compare the final material to the humus produced at White Bear Lake using front end loaders. Staff estimates that it would cost approximately $1,970 to shred all of the leaves . Third, in addition to the shredding expense, the County will construct and water the new fall leaf windrow. Staff estimates that it will cost approximately $540. White Bear Lake The County will turn the existing leaf windrows once during April, June, and September, 1983. Staff estimates that it will cost $1,305 to turn the existing 111/1 windrows three times. The County will also construct and water the new fall leaf windrow. Staff estimates that it will cost about $540.
