Mary Saarion <br /> Parks Director <br /> City of Mounds View <br /> 2401 Highway 10 <br /> Mounds View, MN 55112 <br /> Dear Mary: <br /> The City Council, when we met with them at their workshop in March, <br /> requested that we provide a description of our operations at the yard <br /> waste site on Long Lake Road. Since then we have been working with <br /> the County Public Works Department to refine the design for the <br /> improvements to that site, including shifting to a south to north <br /> drive-through approach. Here is a summary of our operations . We have <br /> more detailed operations plans, which we can make available upon <br /> request . <br /> 1 . Site Dates and Hours <br /> In general, the site is open in the spring, summer and fall, for 38 <br /> • hours per week, five days per week. For 1997 : <br /> * March 31 through November 30 , 1997, weather permitting. <br /> * Saturday, 9-5; Sunday, 11-5 . <br /> * Monday, Wednesday, and Friday: 3/31-5/31 : 11-7; 6/1-9/29 : <br /> noon-8 ; 10/1-11/30 : 10-6 . <br /> * Closed Tuesday, Thursdays, July 4 , Labor Day. <br /> 2 . Types of Waste Accepted <br /> * Only soft-bodied plant material is accepted, including leaves, <br /> grass clippings, weeds, and garden waste. <br /> * Brush and other woody waste are not accepted. We provide <br /> customers with information about disposal for these waste types . <br /> 3 . Site Users <br /> * Ramsey County residents can bring in their own yard waste and <br /> take finished compost and wood chips. It is not cost-effective <br /> to screen out non-Ramsey residents, so some Anoka County citizens <br /> use the site . We strongly discourage this. <br /> * Lawn services, waste haulers, and other commercial operations are <br /> not allowed to use the sites . <br /> 4 . Site Monitor <br /> * A County-employed site monitor is on duty during all hours the <br /> site is open. <br /> • <br /> Minnesota's First Home Rule County <br /> printed on recycled paper With a minimum of 10%postconsumer content <br />
