CONSENT <br />MEMORANDUM <br />DATE: <br /> February 25, 2013 <br />TO: <br /> Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers <br /> Patrick Klaers, City Administrator <br />FROM: <br /> Meagan Beekman, City Planner <br />SUBECT:Residential Curbside Recycling – Contract Renewal <br />Requested Action <br />Motion to approve entering into a two year contract with Eureka Recycling for residential <br />curbside recycling services. <br />Background <br />The State mandates that cities with a population over 5,000 provide curbside recycling to single- <br />family properties. While cities can require that multi-family properties and even businesses <br />participate in the city-wide program, this is not required by State Law. <br />The City has contracted with Eureka Recycling for curbside residential recycling services since <br />March 1, 2008. The contract provides curbside residential recycling services to most residences <br />in the City (Hunter Park condos, Parkshore Apartments, Cottage Villas, and Arden Manor <br />contract for their own recycling services). The current contract is set to expire on March 1, 2013. <br />The contract had allowed for two one-year renewal options, which were acted upon in 2010. <br />The City currently uses two-stream recycling with Eureka Recycling (sometimes referred to as <br />dual stream or two-sort recycling). Two-stream recycling requires residents to separate mixed <br />paper (newspaper, cardboard, office paper, mail, phone books, milk and juice cartons, pop and <br />beer boxes, etc) from mixed rigid containers (cans, glass, and plastic bottles).
