<br />
<br />In conjuction with the Keep America Beautiful Program, Waste Management of Minnesota, Inc. and the City of Ramsey
<br />will again join forces to sponsor a Ramsey Clean-Up Day on Saturday, May 5, 1990 from 7:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
<br />In an effort to improve the scope and efficiency of the program, the procedure for participation and types of materials
<br />accepted this year will vary from that of years' past. One of the major changes in procedure is that permits for landfilling
<br />on Clean Up Day will no longer be provided in the Ramsey Resident Newsletter. Permits will be available over the counter
<br />at City Hall (15153 Nowthen Blvd. N.W.) prior to Clean Up Day and at the landfill on Clean Up Day. Residents are strongly
<br />urged to get their permits in that week prior to Clean Up Day. You will also note that the list of acceptable materials on
<br />Clean Up Day has expanded. Please, read the following rules and guidelines carefully and thank you for participating in efforts
<br />to "MAKE THE SCENE, KEEP RAMSEY CLEAN."
<br />
<br />PERMIT:
<br />Permits to dispose of one load of debris at the landfill will be issued to Ramsey residents only. Permits may be obtained
<br />at City Hall from Monday, April 30 through Friday, May 4, between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. Donations
<br />for permits will be accepted. Permits will also be available at the landfill on Clean Up Day (May 5) for a $5.00 charge.
<br />Donations and fees collected from the permits will be used to help fund various other Keep America Beautiful projects
<br />in the City. Residents wishing to take advantage of only the recycling drop-off center (appliances, tires, glass, aluminum,
<br />newspaper, metal, household batteries, car batteries, leaves, grass) at the landfill on Clean Up Day will not be required
<br />to have a permit. However, a disposal fee will be charged for some of the recyclable materials. This fee represents
<br />the minimum cost to process the recyclables following their disposal at the landfill recycling center.

<br />CITY SPONSORS ~
<br />TREE GIVE-AWAY . . ~
<br />As a special observance of Arbor Day, the City has again
<br />purchased containerized Spruce and Pine seedlings to be
<br />presented as a gift to each household in Ramsey. The seedl-
<br />ings will be distributed at this year's annual Spring events
<br />on April 28 (Pet Clinic, Tree Sale, Green Business/Environ-
<br />ment Expo) and on May 5 (Clean Up Day and Decentralized
<br />Brush Chipping Program at 5 selected sites).
<br />
<br />* NAME THAT PARK *
<br />
<br />As property in the City is platted, the City often acquires park
<br />land in one form or another (park lots, trails, etc.) as part
<br />of the park dedication requirements placed on developers.
<br />If that park land acquisition is in the form of a park lot, it
<br />generally is given a name. The members of the Ramsey Park
<br />and Recreation Commission are requesting that suggested
<br />names for parks be solicited from the residents. If you have
<br />any suggestions for future park names, please submit them
<br />to Mark Banwart, Community Development Director, Ramsey
<br />Municipal Center, 15153 Nowthen Blvd. NW., Ramsey, Mn.
<br />55303. Thanks for your ideas.
