As you know, newspaper represents over 70 <br />percent., by weight., of Lhe materials collected. In 1988, waste <br />newspaper was selling for as much as $32 per ton and Waldorf, <br />Pioneer, FSC and several insulation makers were demanding paper. <br />t Since Lhen, the economic factors have :hanged dramatically In <br />that Lhe collection system has become Vokcd by its own success. <br />From April 10 Lo May 1, Lhe waste new:,aper market, changed <br />dramatically; prices went. from $12 pe, ton to $0 per Lon Lo, in <br />some rases, having to pay 520 per Lou Lo sell paper. Even at. <br />Lhese prices, mnrkels are limited and remaining newspaper must. be <br />disposed at a cost of up to $45 per Lon. <br />This has resulted in an unLenable financial siLuation for Super <br />C.y cIe. We no longer can suffer subsLauLial financial losses <br />wi LhouL any relief in sight. We feel, as you do, Lhut <br />continuation of curbside recycling programs is of critical <br />imoorLance, however, the economics, infrasLructure, and sharing <br />of risks must, change. Super Cycle is providing 30 days writ Len <br />noLice, as per our. agreemenL, Lo Lerminate collection services in <br />Mounds View. However, Saper Cycle will cease services on May 31, <br />1989, unless a more equitable arrangement. is found. <br />We will work responsibly WILh your ciLy and puLenLiul vendors <br />during Lhis diffi.cuLL period. We will be calling you Lo arrange <br />a meeLing Lo discuss possible opL.iors. <br />S iucncrelny,� <br />Richard .1. Braun <br />Presicipul <br />M4YMa,Yrt),W r.P.. <br />
