2002 Municipal Recycling Final Report <br /> Hennepin County Residential Recycling Program <br /> January 1 —December 31,2002 <br /> Part IV. Description of Recycling Program (2002 Actual/2003 Planned) <br /> The City of St. Anthony requires residential and commercial haulers to obtain a City <br /> License to collect recyclables through a curbside program established by the City. Glass, <br /> newsprint, cans, corrugated cardboard and plastic bottles are collected on a weekly basis <br /> and on the same day as the general refuse pick-up. Haulers are required to report the <br /> amounts of recyclable materials collected monthly or quarterly to the City. Two of the <br /> four haulers also collect magazines, catalogues, phone books and mixed paper. <br /> In addition to having a curbside program, the City has contracted with BFI, Inc. for the <br /> collection of the same recyclables for the City's Spring Clean-up and Recycling Day. As <br /> part of the Spring Clean-up and Recycling program, the City provides for the pick-up and <br /> recycling of items such as brush, white goods, furniture, vehicles,tires and electronic <br /> equipment. Without this service, these items would otherwise enter the waste stream and <br /> be landfilled. <br /> • The City publishes a quarterly newsletter that includes recycling updates and related <br /> information. "Village Notes" has a dedicated "Recycling" page on the back cover. <br /> The City also promotes and practices recycling activities within City Departments. All <br /> office paper is recycled; aluminum cans are collected and recycled; fluorescent light <br /> bulbs are collected and recycled; vehicle fluids are recycled where appropriate; and <br /> printer cartridges are sent to be recycled. All other miscellaneous waste is reused, <br /> recycled or picked up by a garbage hauler if materials are not recyclable. The City's <br /> hauler is Waste Management. <br /> • <br />
