MEMO TO: MOUNDS VIEW CITY COUNCIL FROM: MICHELLE HREN, CITY PLANNER DATE: JUNE 28, 1989 SUBJE(7: HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION DAY If you will recall the cities of Mounds View, Arden Hills and New Brighton agreed to a joint powers agreement dealing with a household hazardots waste collection day. Staff has started planning for this household hazardous waste collection day which has been scheduled on September 23, 1989 between 9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. at the New D1..Lr.._ n.L I.- 41�..1.- ...Pton Public RUIN gorge. Ramsey County is assuming the majority of the cost for the disposal of the hazardous waste collected. The three participating cities will be responsible for the remainder of the cost which is estimated at $1,500 or approximately $500 for each community. This is a relatively small cost based on the actual cost of disposal. For example, Ramsey County spent $37,000 to dispose of the hazardous waste collected at the City of Shoreview hazardous waste collection day. Attached is a memo from Ramsey County Public Health Department explaining the reason for the cost to the cities which would be the cost of a 20' x 20' canopy, roll off rental, disposal of empty paint cans, and disposal of empty o-K cans. Jointly, the cities agreed to also collect tires on this day. This would be the only item residents would pay for in order to drop them off on collection day. This fee is not determined yet. However, it is expected that the residents fee would be the actual disposal cost (approximately $3 - $5 per tire) of the tires. Staff is requesting direction as to the acceptability of the $500 charge to the City for the collection day. Finally, each community is expected to get at least 20 volunteers for this day. If you would like to volunteer or know someone who would like to, please let me know. In the meantime, please spread the word for volunteers. If you have any questions, please let me know.
