Proposal to Provide a Curbside Recycling Program For • The My ty of St. Anthony, MN The essence of our proposal is to provide recycling collection services for a three year period, beginning in the first quarter of 1988, with an option to extend beyond the original termination date, upon such terms and conditions as the parties shall mutually agree. The program, based upon the concept of providing recycling services to all residential units, is designed to recycle a significant amount of the residential waste stream. The composition of the waste stream, macV--. up of high content of paper, metal and glass has a high potential for recycling. The program is designed to operate a recycling collection, processing and marketing program which would partially accomplish the residential source separation goals and the commerciaVindustrial recycling goals,as outlined in the Hennepin and Ramsey County Master Plan for 5olid Waste Management. Hennepin and Ramsey County's source separation goal are to abate 16 % of the solid waste stream. The compost program is designed to achieve four percent of the residential goal and the curbside program is designed to achieve 12% of the goal through recycling of the commonly recycled materials including newsprint and household metals and glass. Timely performance of collection services is essential to the success of the recycling program. Super Cycle would use its fleet of specially designed recycling trucks and trailers and adequate manpower to complete recycling collections on the scheduled day. Under this proposal each resident would receive curbside/alleyside service two days per month. Suggested collection days are the second and fourth Friday of each month. Collection will be made from all residential properties having four or less dwelling units in a single building and at other locations as directed by the City and agreed upon in writing by Super Cycle. Locations, such as multiple dwelling units(more than four units), schools, and City offices, and their corresponding collection schedule shall become part of a letter of understanding and subject to periodic changes as needed. Recyclable materials shall be prepared by the residents as follows: Newsprint - Place in paper grocery bags or cardboard boxes. - s d me , ; ul�., - RinSc (colG. xNarakiuri'unu removal of ceps or �n�t3. �s not , e:,..�re�� and place .n paper bag, box,or special container to be returned to resident. Metal - Rinse (no need to separate metals including tin cans, bimetal and aluminum beverage cans) and place in plastic bag, paper bag, box,or special container to be returned to resident. Containers in which recyclable materials have been stored shall be placed upon the boulevard area of the street for collection by 7:00 a.m. on the scheduled day of collection. All.recyclable materials placed for collection shall be owned by and be the responsibility of the occpants of residential properties until they are handled by Super Cycle. Upon collection of the containers and recyclable materials, the recyclable materials become the property and responsibility of Super Cycle. If the City of St.Anthony adopts the use of standard recycling containers for residents in which to store recyclables, Super Cycle will work with the City to establish a specification to procure containers. As an option Super Cycle will lease or rent containers for the period of the contract at a cost per household of $. 52 per month over the three year period.
