`l 1, <br /> CaI i thou <br /> ills e <br /> DATE : APPROVAL = <br /> January 19, 1990 <br /> TO : City Councilmembers <br /> FROM : <br /> Sue VanderHeyden, Assistant to the City Manager <br /> WASTE MANAGEMENT PROPOSAL - DROP OFF CENTER <br /> Public Works Director Hamer and I- met with representatives of_ Waste <br /> Management about their attached letter concerning the proposed cost to <br /> the City to continue operations of the City's Recycling Drop Off Center. <br /> As stated in the letter, the pick up of <br /> *newspaper would be $145.00 per load <br /> *glass would be $108.00 per load <br /> *recyclable cans would be $150.00 per month. <br /> Newspaper and glass would be picked up after the City contacts Waste <br /> Management to inform them that a pick- up is necessary. <br /> Based on these charges, it would cost the City off St. Anthony at least <br /> $430.00 per month with the potential of being $700.00 per month. <br /> This results in a cost of between $5,160.00 and $8,400.00 to operate the <br /> Recycling Drop Off Center in 1990, as long as the rates do not increase <br /> (which is unlikely) and more than 2 pick ups of newspaper and glass each <br /> month aren't necessary. <br /> The City's Beautification Fund, once the reimbursement for the recycling <br /> bins has been received, will have approximately $11,500.00. <br /> Waste Management informed us that their normal rate for roll off box <br /> services is $120.00 per hour plus any charges for special equipment. <br /> However, St. Anthony's are based on an $80.00 per hour figure because of <br /> the money that is generated from the sale of the recyclables. <br /> I am currently researching other options for keeping the Drop Off Center <br /> functioning for the lowest cost possible. This information will be <br /> available for your review at the Council meeting. <br /> :cjk1.23.90 <br />
