In addition, targeted program funds are available for specific program areas. The household count is based on the latest population and household estimate available from the Metropolitan Council. This funding allocation is not dependent upon the receipt of the second SCORE allocation but will use reserve funds if the second grant payment is not received in the spring of 2013. In addition, grant funds may be used for problem materials, yard waste/organics and if previous year goal achievement is 108%, some funds may be used for non-residential recycling. The 2013 Residential Recycling Agreements include a $10,000 base and $5 per household and options for the following programs: Full service drop-off recycling centers $30,000 Monthly drop-off recycling centers - $5,000* to $15,000 depending on the number of households Municipal Park Recycling - $2,000 to $6,000 depending on the number of households Community Event Recycling - $2,000 to $6,000 depending on the number of households Enhancement Grant $1 /Household *Up to 2,000 HH $5,000, 2001-4,999 $10,000 and 5,000 and up $15,000 The proposed 2013 municipal recycling goal is 185 pounds per person single family households (up to 4 units) and 175 pounds per person for multi -unit households (5 units or more).
