ELEMENTS OF THE RECYCLING IMPLEME11TION STRATEGY <br />A. Residential Recycling Programs <br />Opportunity to Recycle <br />Policy Statement, All citizens of Ramsey County should have the <br />opportunity to recycle. This opportunity must include curbside <br />recycling for single-family homes and also a system for multi- <br />family units. The cities must establish programs for curbside <br />recycling and must also address multi -family units. At their <br />option, a city may require owners or managers of multi -family <br />units to provide a recycling system rather than have the city <br />itself be responsible for establishing a program. If a city fails <br />to meet the requirement for establishing an acceptable curbside <br />recycling program by March 1, 1989 (or maintaining it after that <br />date); or fail: to establish or require an acceptable system for <br />multi -family units by February 1, 1990, then Ramsey County should <br />establish these programs and charge the city's residents for it <br />through the recycling service charge. By 'acceptable', these <br />programs must collect the following materials at least once per <br />month: newspaper, glass and cans. All cities and townships who <br />have greater than 50% of their residents in Ramsey County are <br />included in this policy. <br />This policy is partially a statement of current policy as <br />contained in the Solid Waste Master Plan and in the recycling <br />program guidelines.
