DATE: <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />CC: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />i~August 6, 1992 <br />[Ryag Schroeder, City Administrator <br />!san~a Ashley Helling, Finance Officer <br />iJam~s Gromberg, Project Manag <br />;Budget for Recycling Containers <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />The City cUrr~ntly't has 86 remaining curbside recycling containers. Based upon the estimated <br />number of ad~l itiottal lots that the City could expect during 1992 and 1993 (338 lots), the City <br />would be shot oYbr 224 containers, providing all of the existing lots have received recycling <br />containers. Hu ~ter'~ Ridge (74 lots) and Alicia Addition (14 lots) have collected no containers and <br />Fox Ridge Ester, es ~.~3 lots) has collected only one-third of the total containers needed. Based uPon <br />these figures, ~ae City will need at least 457 containers. By the end of the year 1993, the City <br />would be shO~a rn~nimum of 731 containers. <br />During the 19,931 budget process, the City should consider the purchase of 500 recycling <br />containers. Wl!en:~e City purchased the original shipment of 3,641 containers, it received a price <br />of $4.66 per cc,~t~Oer. With the smaller order, the City may be quoted a somewhat higher price. <br />However, base ~1 upbn information obtained from other cities, the price should be under $5.00 per <br />container. The City~ should plan on budgeting $2,500 (500 x $5.00) for recycling containers. <br /> <br />When the orig,, al containers were purchased, a grant from Anoka County was used allowing the <br />City to purchase fie containers at no charge expect for City Staff time to complete the bidding <br />process. This ~me the City may wish to use the Landfill Tipping Fee as this would be considered <br /> <br />a landfill abat~me <br />containers if th~ fu <br />available afterfthe <br />containers iS~a!lac <br />larger quantitY bf ~ <br /> <br />t type activity. The City may wish to consider the purchase of additional <br />ds are to come from the Landfill Tipping Fee as this source of funds will not be <br />1993 closure of the facility. A drawback to the purchasing of the additional <br />of storage space. If a new Public Works facility is available at that time, a <br />:ycling containers should be purchased. <br /> <br />L <br /> <br /> <br />
