Environmental Policy Board (EPB) <br />Meeting Date: <br />Primary Strategic Plan Initiative: <br />Title: <br />Staff Updates <br />06/17/2024 <br />Not Applicable <br />Information <br />6. 1. <br />Purpose/Background: <br />Spring Recycling Event <br />The Spring Recycling Day event was held on Saturday, May 4 at our Public Works campus. Approximately 400 <br />vehicles came through during the four (4) hour event. Attached to this case is a breakdown of materials collected <br />and associated tonnage. <br />Arbor Day Planting <br />In place of a regular Environmental Policy Board (EPB) meeting on May 20, available EPB members (Chair <br />Fetterley, Board Members Salami and Hagerty, and Council Liaison Woestehoff) planted two (2) catalpa trees <br />along Ramsey Parkway, on the north side of The Draw. Thank you to those that were able to assist with getting <br />these trees in the ground! <br />Curbside Recycling Event <br />The City of Ramsey is coordinating a curbside recycling event for the first two full weeks of August (August <br />5-16). Information on this recycling opportunity will be included in the July/August Ramsey Resident and likely <br />in the next issue of the Ramsey Recycler newsletter as well. Ramsey implemented this recycling opportunity in <br />2023, and it seemed to be a success, with 95 households that utilized the program. This opportunity was <br />implemented to assist people that do not have an easy means of transporting larger, bulky items to the standard <br />spring and fall recycling events. <br />Recommendation: <br />Not applicable. <br />Outcome/Action: <br />No action is necessary as this is simply an update for the Board. <br />Recycling Event Tonnage Information <br />Photo of Planting Success <br />Inbox Reviewed By <br />Brian Hagen Brian Hagen <br />Form Started By: Chris Anderson <br />Final Approval Date: 06/05/2024 <br />Attachments <br />Form Review <br />Date <br />06/05/2024 08:24 AN1 <br />Started On: 06/04/2024 12:21 PM <br />
