• 2. How will the municipality assure materials are collected in 2003 from those households that will 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 city code for multiple family residential units, it appears that recycling services are available to the majority of those residences as well. The City will continue to monitor the multiple family recycling scenario. City staff has driven the Village and found there are just a few cases where recycling is not available. It is safe to say the majority of St. Anthony residences have recycling services. 3. What changes are planned or anticipated for 2003? None are anticipated. • 4. How are recycling services in 2003 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 2003. 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 grant funds. 5. Describe the municipality's source reduction and recycling promotional efforts. List types of materials to be used, intended audiences,and method and frequency of distribution. City Newsletter, Vi//age Notes- published quarterly; St Anthony Ramsey (and Hennepin) County residents and businesses are the intended audiences. Government Cable Channel 16 - information related to recycling is posted here on the bulletin board; St. Anthony residents are the audience. City Monument Sign- There is a monument sign in front of the Stonehouse, where the City • will post community events,such as Clean Up Day in May; this is for area residents.
