2. How will the municipality assure materials are collected in 2005 from those households that wil 06 not receive recycling collection services under a municipally-arranged contract? (e.g.,ordinance provisions, licensing requirements, other mechanism) What materials are required to be collected,and at what frequency? By an ordinance requirement, whereby residential haulers are required to provide curbside recycling services to single-family residential customers at no cost. Recyclable items collected include newspapers, glass, plastic bottles,aluminum,and tin cans. Pick-up is arranged once per week by the hauler of a resident's choice(BFI, Waste Management, or Walter's Rubbish). It should be noted that while recycling services are not mandated in the City Code for multiple family residential units, it appears that recycling services are available to the majority of those residences. Staff has driven the City and found there are just a few cases where recycling is not available. The majority of St. Anthony residences have recycling services available to them. 3. How will the municipality assure that all recyclables collected from residential properties are recycled, whether collected by the municipality's contracted vendor or another service provider? The City can assure that it is occurring at single-family residences because of the ordinance requirement for recycling. However, city staff cannot assure that it is occurring at multiple- family residences as that is not an ordinance requirement. However, in the majority of the cases it is anyway. 4. What changes are planned or anticipated for 2005? None are anticipated. 5. How are recycling services in 2005 to be paid for, beyond any use of SCORE funds? What long- term funding source is in place for recycling services? The City picks up what SCORE funds don't. Ramsey County SCORE funds have covered the following in past years: administration costs,Clean-Up Day associated costs, city newsletter production, printing,and mailing costs,and recycling bins. The City plans to have similar costs covered by Ramsey County SCORE funds in 2004. In terms of long-term, the City would pay for expenses out of the General Fund reserves and any applicable portion of the Hennepin County SCORE grant funds. 6.
