<br />2019 Annual Report • Administration • St. Anthony Village, Minnesota <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />39 <br /> <br />FOOD SCRAPS COLLECTION (ORGANICS RECYCLING) <br />In April 2018, the City Council approved a food scraps collection (organics recycling) pilot <br />program for all St. Anthony residents. The Parks and Environmental Commission discussed <br />placement of the drop-off site, and in June, the City Council approved final site location on the <br />south end of the Community Center parking lot (between the Police Department and the tennis <br />courts). <br />City staff collaborated with Ramsey County to implement the food scraps collection (organics <br />recycling) drop-off site, allowing Ramsey County to build and operate the site at no additional <br />cost to the city. The drop-off site was constructed and operational just before the end of 2018. <br />This site is open 24/7 and compostable bags are located in a dispenser at the site. Free starter <br />kits are also available at City Hall. <br />The organic site dumpsters are emptied every Tuesday by Waste Management. Waste <br />Management conduct two audits on our organics site every year. 2019, the site saw a lot of <br />traffic and we expect usage to increase in 2020. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />2,005 lbs.
