<br />8 <br /> <br />WANTED: <br />MORE RECYCLED PAPER <br /> <br />Think twice about throwing that piece of <br />paper away because chances are, it could be recycled. <br />Did you l(now that producers of recycled paper <br />products cannot get enough paper right now? A study <br />in 2000 showed that more than 24 percent of <br />Minnesota's garbage is recyclable paper. About ten <br />percent is non-recyclable paper (e.g., tissue, waxed <br />paper, etc.). <br />Here's a quicl( summary of which types of <br />paper can be recycled through Ramsey's curbside <br />recycling program: <br /> <br />These types of paper WILL be accepted: <br /> <br />newspapers and inserts <br />magazines and catalogs <br />cardboard boxes <br />office paper <br />mixed mail (envelopes, letters, paper inserts) <br />phone books <br /> <br />These types of paper are NOT accepted: <br /> <br />waxed paper/boxes <br />tissue paper <br />paper towels <br />egg cartons <br />paper cups/plates <br />pizza boxes <br />paper boxes that go into a refrigerator, <br />freezer, or microwave, including pop <br />cartons <br /> <br />Over the last decade, the U.S. paper industry <br />has invested billions of dollars nationwide to upgrade <br />its equipment or to build new plants to use recycled <br />paper. This new equipment has the ability to screen <br />out contaminants like plastic and metal, which is why <br />you need not worry about removing plastic windows <br />from envelopes or staples from paper. <br />The demand for paper has never been greater. <br />The more paper that is put out curbside for recycling <br />will lessen the impact on existing natural resources <br />such as trees and water while at the same time <br />reducing the amount of waste sent to landfills. So <br />please do your part and recycle any and all acceptable <br />forms of paper. <br />For more information on Ramsey's recycling <br />program, check out the city's website at <br />www.ci.ramsey.mn.us or contact Chris Anderson at <br />763-433-9905. <br /> <br />Sun <br /> <br />Mon <br /> <br />Tue Wed <br /> <br />SEPTEMBER 2005 <br /> <br />456 <br />Office @ <br />Closed 5:30p.m. <br />Labor Day CCWS <br /> <br /> <br />Fri Sat <br />2 3 <br /> <br />8 <br /> <br />9 10 <br /> <br />7:00 p.m. BAI <br />PL <br /> <br />11 12 13 14 15 <br /> <br />@ 5:30 p.m. 7:00 a.m. EDA 6:30 p.m. PR <br />5:30 p.m. CComm @ City Hall @ Elm Crest <br />Joint PL/CC 7:00 p.m. CC Park <br /> <br />16 17 <br />~~:iiF~~ <br />.;;~.~ <br />'~yt' <br />23 24 <br /> <br /> <br />25 <br /> <br />26 27 28 <br />tW 5:30 p.m. <br />~ CComm <br /> <br />7:00 p.m. CC <br /> <br />22 <br /> <br />29 <br /> <br />30 <br /> <br />Sun <br /> <br />Mon <br /> <br />Tue <br /> <br />OCTOBER 2005 <br /> <br />Thur <br /> <br />Wed <br /> <br />Fri <br /> <br />Sat <br /> <br />2 3 4 5 6 7 8 <br /> @ 7:00 p.m. BAI <br /> 6:30 p.m. EPB 5:30 p.m. <br /> @ City Hall CCWS PL <br />9 10 11 12 13 14 15 <br /> @ 5:30 p.m. 7:00 a.m. EDA 6:30 p.m. PR <br /> CComm <br /> 7:00 p.m. CC @ City Hall <br />16 7 20 21 22 <br /> @ <br /> 6:30 p.m. EPB 5:30 p.m. PW <br /> @ City Hall <br /> 25 26 27 28 29 <br /> <br /> <br />CALENDAR CODES <br /> <br />CC - City Council <br />CComm - Finance Committee <br />CComm - Personnel Committee <br />CCWS - Council Work Session <br />PW - Public Works Committee <br />W - West side recycling <br />E - East side recycling <br />BA - Board of Adjustment <br />BR - Board of Review <br /> <br />BUD <br />PSB <br />01 <br />PL <br />PR <br />EDA <br />EPB <br />HC <br /> <br />- Budget Public Hearing <br />- Public Safety Board <br />- Charter Commission <br />- Planning Commission <br />- Park and Recreation Comm. <br />- Economic Dev.
