existing access road to the yard waste site can accommodate high traffic volumes and measures approximately 600 feet in length from the end of Hudson Avenue to the collection area. Odors and Solid Waste Ramsey County will address the odors generated by the organic waste by requiring that all materials are properly bagged and stored in secure and covered containers. The site is currently staffed by County employees, who will monitor the SSO collection area to ensure quality control. Containers will be removed and emptied by a contractor on a regular basis. Generally, collection would occur once per week, but could increase during the summer months when participation rates are expected to be higher. The closest residential property to the yard waste site is located approximately 450 feet away from the collection area. Odors from the SSO collection containers are not expected to impact this property.
