3 <br /> <br /> <br />SSO Collection Quantities (Weight) <br />Weights were determined by applying 9.72 lbs. per participant dropping off organics. This number is an average of <br />actual data collected by Ramsey County staff during the summer of 2015 and similar studies conducted by the City of <br />Minneapolis. This is considered more accurate data than what the County’s organics hauler reports on invoices, which is <br />a combination truck scale readings and, on trucks without scales, estimates of weights based on the driver’s assessment <br />of quantities within containers at the time of service. Therefore, the weights in Chart 3 below coincide directly with the <br />numbers in Charts 1 & 2 above. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Chart 3 <br /> <br />Additional Collection Locations <br />In July of 2015, The Ramsey County Board of Commissioners approved expansion of SSO collection services to include up <br />to six additional collection sites. EH staff have been working with local cities to identify locations within their <br />communities to site SSO drop off locations that will, ideally, be available for use by residents on a 24/7 basis. The first of <br />these locations began operation in July of 2016 in partership with District 10/Como Park Community Council. Currently, <br />Ramsey County has an agreement in place with the City of Maplewood to install another 24/7 location in their <br />Community Center parking lot and staff are working with the cities of White Bear Lake and Roseville to site SSO <br />collection locations in those communities. <br /> <br />29 <br />, <br />6 <br />5 <br />6 <br /> <br />47 <br />, <br />5 <br />4 <br />1 <br /> <br />19 <br />2 <br />, <br />4 <br />5 <br />6 <br /> <br />34 <br />, <br />2 <br />1 <br />4 <br /> <br />16 <br />2 <br />, <br />1 <br />2 <br />0 <br /> <br />37 <br />, <br />6 <br />3 <br />6 <br /> <br />50 <br />3 <br />, <br />6 <br />2 <br />2 <br /> <br />0 <br />100,000 <br />200,000 <br />300,000 <br />400,000 <br />500,000 <br />600,000 <br />Battle Creek Frank & Sims Midway Mounds View Summit Hill White Bear <br />Twp. <br />Total <br />Po <br />u <br />n <br />d <br />s <br /> <br />o <br />f <br /> <br />O <br />r <br />g <br />a <br />n <br />i <br />c <br />s <br /> <br />C <br />o <br />l <br />l <br />e <br />c <br />t <br />e <br />d <br /> <br /> <br />Ramsey County Organics Collection <br />2016 Weight by Site <br />2016 at 9.72 lbs/visit
