CASE 1993 CLEAN-UP DAY By: James Gromberg, Project Manager Background: The City of Ramsey will be conducting its annual Clean-up Day on Saturday, May 8, 1993, from 7:00 a.m. until 12:00 noon. The following is a list of materials that will be accepted at the landfill and t_he disposal charges: One load of household rubbish with permit Each additional load of material (A permit is also required for each additional load) Major appliances: Air conditioners All others Glass Scrap metal Newspaper Brush, woody prunings and limbs less than 6" in diameter (At Central Park, one day only. This year the drop-off site will be staffed to prevent the disposal of unwanted rubbish at the drop-off.) Tires will be dropped off at the Public Works facility No charge $20.00 per load $25.00 $15.00 No charge No charge No charge No charge No charge $ 2.00 per tire Pro_re'am Component Estimated Cost LandFill loads, 1600 yards @ $4.31/yard Brash chipping and drop-off at Central Park 2 person chipping crew, 16 hours @ $25/hour Staffing at Central Park, ff a volunteer cannot be found, could be a chipping crew or an individual from 7:00 a.m. until 1:190 p.m. @ $15/hour Permits, staff time for issuance, 8 hours @ $15.00/hour Printing of permits Appliance pick-up, staff coordinating time Total Estimated Cost: Less es6mated tire proceeds (500/$1) Net Funding Required 6,896.00 400.00 90.00 120.00 65.00 100.00 $7,671.00 (500.0O) $7,171~00 In 1992, the landfill received 1,485 yards of material. We have increased that by approximately 8% which follows the increase in the amount of material that has been accepted each of the last three years. These figures are high estimates based upon the fact that the City may receive extra tires and/or appliances that may be collected but not paid for at the land.fill, due to people disposing of tires and appliances in roadside ditches and cul-de-sacs throughout the City. The City receives a profit of $1 for each tire by way of NationaI Tire Service providing a drop-off at the Public Works facility. The cost to dispose of each tire, whether or not it is on a rim: is $1. We are charging $2 for each tire; $1 is returned to the City of Ramsey for use in funding this program. The bid from Waste Management of Minnesota for the tire processing was $1.50 per passenger tire and more for a larger size tire. In the effort to encourage residents to take advantage of the Clean-up Day, as this may be the last one in its current form, the City has come to an agreement with Waste Management to allow additional loads from each resident at a cost of $20 per load. This will allow for residents to facilitate the total clean-up of their property and, therefore, should increase the aesthetic appeal
