• INCENTIVE GRANT FOR RECYCLING <br /> Information About the Project <br /> St. Anthony is in the process of redoing the recycling center, which services <br /> several cities in three counties (.Hennepin, Ramsey, and Anoka) . This is a drop- <br /> off center that we feel should be made as pleasant, easy to use, and safe for <br /> the user as possible. <br /> We have already built a recycling platform. Costs are as follows: <br /> Material $646 <br /> Labor (_2 men, 60 hrs. , $16.45/hr.,' 276 <br /> includes fringe benefits) <br /> TOTAL COST $922 <br /> The City would also like to install asphalt around the recycling center with <br /> estimated costs as follows: <br /> Material $ .6,375 <br /> Base material ( 120 yards) 527 <br /> Labor (4 men, 160 hrs. , at $16.45/hr. ) 2,632 <br /> Equipment (.2 trucks, blacktop spreader 400 <br /> and roller, $20/hr. for <br /> • 20 hours) <br /> TOTAL ESTIMATED $ 9,934 <br /> COST <br /> The City recycles glass, tin, aluminum, paper, assorted metals, wood chips, compost. <br /> The City is now looking into recycling grass clippings and leaves for compost in <br /> conjunction with Hennepin County. All these materials would be kept out of the <br /> landfills. <br /> Our goals is to make St. Anthony one of the leaders in the field of recycling and <br /> also to have the safest and aesthetically pleasing center in the metro area. We <br /> will assure that the public is kept informed of the changes to the center and will <br /> encourage them to use the recycling center. The project area services several <br /> cities and we find it increasingly difficult to support the center with our tax <br /> payers money. It would also be difficult to maintain the level of other services <br /> and still improve on the recycling project. <br /> At this time we will be operating a drop-off recycling center only and have not <br /> included curbside pickups. The center will certainly assist in abating from landfills. <br /> The center recycles: 40 yards of crushed glass in 4 to 5 weeks; 4 to 5 yards of <br /> tin and aluminum every week and a half; 40 yards of newspaper every two weeks, mis- <br /> cellaneous metals, 40 yard container every two months (about 700 to 2,000 pounds) . <br /> We intend to recycle leaves and grass clippings, which is anticipated at 40 yards <br /> • a week or greater. <br />
