Adopt ordinance that says community event organizers need to use recyclable and compostable products <br />and properly collect and dispose of waste. Additionally, change the current policy that does not allow <br />events to use the drop at city hall (e.g. we were not allowed to use the site for a waste free event at <br />school sponsored by Green Team). <br />The aforementioned policy regarding the food <br />scraps/organics drop-off is a Ramsey County (not city) policy <br />that the service is provided for household residential use. <br />Consider establishing a fund to reduce or eliminate the financial barriers of proper hazardous waste <br />disposal. <br />Collaborate with local businesses to determine feasibility and barriers associated with a single-use plastic <br />ban. Based on stakeholder feedback, establish an ordinance addressing single-use plastics. <br />Collaborate with property managers for multi-family housing units to provide compost removal facilities <br />for tenants to dispose of their waste. <br />Incentivize or look at policies to reduce waste from businesses (food service providers use compostables, <br />businesses do more to reduce use of plastic bags). <br />Adopt policy about building tear down needing to use proper disposal techniques to reduce the amount of <br />waste and reuse/recover material.
