MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />CC: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />RE: <br /> <br />Mayor James Gilbertson <br />Councilmember S heila Beyer <br />Councilmember Richard Cich <br />Councllmember Glen Hardin <br />Councilmember Kenneth Peterson <br /> <br />Ryan Schroeder, City Administrator <br />Steve Jankowski, City Engineer <br /> <br />James Gromberg, Project Manager <br /> <br />August 6, 1991 <br /> <br />Landfill Abatement Report for the First Six Months, 1991 <br /> <br />Attached, for your information, is the tonnage report for the fa'st six months of 1991 for landfill <br />abatement activities in the City of Ramsey. As the attached report shows, the City has recycled <br />over 454 tons of material for the fa'st six months of 1991. This equates to 70% of the total goal of <br />650 tons for 1991. This figure compares with last years fn'st six month report which showed 344 <br />tons of material recycled. The City has increased its recycling by 110 tons since that period. <br /> <br />The vast majority of this material was acquired from the expansion of the Curbside Recycling <br />Program to include the entire City. During 1990 when the Pilot Curbside Recycling Program <br />included only the three subdivisions in the southeast comer of the City, it contributed only 12.53 <br />tons of material. During the same period in 1991, curbside recycling accounted for over 228 tons <br />of material. With this type of increase with the curbside program, the City would expect to see that <br />the drop-offs have received less material then they had during the same period before the expansion <br />of the Curbside Recycling Program; but, the Boy Scout drop-off for newspapers, which is <br />traditionally material that is greatly affected by the expansion of curbside recycling programs, <br />actually saw an increase for the f'u'st six months of 1991 as compared to the same period during <br />1990. The drop-off at the landfill also saw the amount of materials remaining fairly constant for <br />the period in 1991 as compared to the period in 1990. <br /> <br />The biggest decline the City saw was in the brush chipping program which last year equated to 128 <br />tons as compared to only 24 tons of material for 1991. <br /> <br />/jmt <br /> <br />4/ <br /> <br /> <br />
