146 <br /> <br /> <br />Ramsey is providing ‘starter kits’ at no cost to encourage residents to <br />participate in this program. There are carts located at the Public Works <br />Campus for participants to drop off their organics. Ramsey is <br />continuing to explore various options to expand and improve the <br />organics program. This could include a larger scale drop-off site <br />and/or a curbside program is yet another attempt to increase the <br />amount of material diverted from the trash to the recycling stream. <br />The greatest opportunity to realize significant gains in recycling, <br />however, will likely come from the commercial sector. While Ramsey’s <br />recycling program is focused on the residential sector, primarily based <br />on how the program is funded (Select Committee on Recycling and the <br />Environment, aka SCORE), Anoka County does work with the commercial sector. They have <br />partnered with Minnesota Waste Wise to conduct waste audits for interested commercial entities <br />and guidance on how to increase recycling and reduce waste (and possibly costs too). Ramsey <br />supports this work and will continue to explore opportunities to educate and assist the commercial <br />sector with waste reduction measures where feasible.
