City Council Regular Meeting Minutes <br />May 23, 2006 <br />Page 7 <br />1 Mr. Sederstrom commented by doing every two weeks, he is able to take down one of the trucks <br />2 for servicing on the off week. As an independent, this helps him compete with the big <br />3 companies. <br />4 <br />5 Councilmember Stille stated it sounds like there is an advantage to the residents, but there is also <br />6 a benefit to the hauler. He indicated he is concerned for the residents with single garages and no <br />7 room to store the cart inside. <br />9 Ms. Klennert replied there are benefits to the haulers. She stated the new bins take up the same <br />10 footprint as the previous bins. Waste Management has done some extra education to their <br />11 customers. <br />12 <br />13 Mr. Sederstrom said there are several cart sizes available. <br />14 <br />15 Mayor Faust referred to the size of the recycle cart. He stated the Shoreview website indicates a <br />16 35 or 64- gallon recycle bin available. He questioned Ms. Klennert And Mr. Sederstrom if it <br />17 were written that way in the Ordinance; it might help, as some households would not fill the <br />18 larger bins. <br />19 <br />20 Ms. Klennert replied recycling is an unlimited service and Waste Management has 30, 60 and <br />21 90- gallon containers available. <br />22 <br />23 Mr. Sederstrom does not typically deliver the small bin, but he does when requested. <br />24 <br />25 Mayor Faust talked about the decrease in the number of vehicles on the streets. He then asked if <br />26 the haulers would be open to a City contract and reducing the cost to residents. Mayor Faust <br />27 asked what the advantage would be to residents to accept the single sort recycling. <br />28 <br />29 Ms. Klennert stated she would research the contract option. <br />30 <br />31 Mr. Sederstrom stressed his opposition to this option. He stated the City is already his customer <br />32 and does not feel he should have to bid with the City. <br />33 <br />34 Mayor Faust again asked where the payback is for the customer. He sited an article on glass <br />35 recycling. <br />36 <br />37 Ms. Klennert replied Waste Management uses multiple markets for all recycling materials. Glass <br />38 goes to several areas such as sand blasting, construction medium and to Anchor Glass in <br />39 Minneapolis. <br />40 <br />41 Mayor Faust asked if glass recycling were added to the Ordinance as a condition of single sort, <br />42 would haulers pick it up. <br />43 <br />44 Ms. Klennert stated they do recycle glass. <br />45 <br />
