ACTIONS: <br />● Encourage residents to look into existing composting resources through Ramsey County <br />such as at St. Anthony City Hall or a county yard waste site. Free compostable bags are also <br />available for residents along with a beginner video with instructions. <br />● Promote Hennepin County Food Waste Challenge - month of August. <br />● Promote Hennepin County No Waste Challenge – month of February. <br />● Consider integrating compost management into regular public facility maintenance, <br />including in schools and at City Hall. Purchase mobile composting and recycling containers for <br />community members to rent for events at public facilities. <br />● Apply for Hennepin County recycling grant to secure larger compost and recycling bins for <br />use at community events and in all city facilities, including park pavilions, community services, <br />and city hall. <br />● Organize an annual compost give-away for residents to share in the benefit of composting. <br />● Monitor counties programs for feasibility of providing residents with curbside compost removal. <br />● Adopt ordinance that says community event organizers need to use recyclable and compostable products and <br />properly collect and dispose of waste. Additionally, change the current policy that does not allow events to use the <br />drop at city hall (e.g. we were not allowed to use the site for a waste free event at school sponsored by Green Team). <br />INITIATIVE 1 <br />INCREASE PARTICIPATION IN ORGANICS <br />COMPOSTING <br />DESCRIPTION: To increase participation in organics composting city-wide, <br />the City can motivate residents to take advantage of free resources available <br />through Ramsey County and integrate composting into regular public facility <br />maintenance. Additionally, the City can explore the potential for curbside <br />composting pickup to address the barrier of traveling to City Hall to dispose of <br />organic waste. <br />TIMELINE: 2024 - 2027 <br />>>> SAV compost site averaged 3,764 lbs of organic food scraps <br />weekly in 2022 <br />METRICS: Track materials shared with residents through City communications channels. Communicate with <br />Ramsey County to continue receiving data on compost collection volumes. <br />FOCUS >>> <br />22 << CLIMATE PLAN 2023
