City of Saint Anthony Village <br />5.Improve Hauler Repor ting Systems <br />The City will better account for waste and recycling tons and participation to benchmark success and <br />comply with State and county reporting requirements. <br />6.Improve Recycling, Composting and Waste Reduction <br />In compliance with county requirements, the City will seek continuous improvements in recycling and <br />related programs. In the future, this may also include separate collection services for food <br />waste/organics. <br />7.Improve Safety <br />Changes to the City's residential solid waste collection systems will improve neighborhood safety. Large <br />trucks driving where children live and play must operate in a safe manner without excessive speeds. <br />One measure of this criterion is to reduce the number of truck miles driven in the City to collect solid <br />waste materials. <br />8.Improve Standardization of Service Options <br />Residents should be allowed a series of standardized collection service options that best fit their <br />individual household needs including (but not limited to): trash service levels; yard waste collection; <br />walk-up (aka "garage side") collection service; and large bulky item collections. <br />9.Improve Value of Services <br />The City will strive to increase the value of solid waste and recycling services for residents and <br />businesses without increasing costs to rate payers. The City will be a good steward of taxpayer <br />resources. If possible, average or citywide costs to residents should decrease and added value services <br />should increase. The City should leverage the strategy of synergistic competition to help improve value <br />of services. <br />10.Increase Use of Resource Recovery Facilities <br />In compliance with county requirements, the City will continue to implement strategies to direct trash to <br />resource recovery facilities and reduce direct landfilling of unprocessed trash. <br />11.Lessen Environmental Impacts <br />The City will continue to develop strategies that reduce air pollution emissions, noise and litter from <br />trash and recycling collection operations. This will also reduce truck fuel consumption and improve <br />overall environmental sustainability of the system. <br />12.Minimize Disruption to Residents <br />If any change is made to the solid waste collection system, the City should consider how to minimize <br />disruptions to residents. This includes {but is not limited to) minimizing changes to service operations <br />such as day of the week and frequency of collection. <br />Exhibit B: City Priorities B-2
