Paper Shred-It Event – An event where residents can bring paper to be shredded and <br />recycled by the company Shred-N-Go Inc. They priced this kind of event at $1,500.00 for <br />five (5) hours for the City of Golden Valley. Generally cities limit the number of box <br />residents can bring to recycle to cut down on wait times. This event could be hosted at City <br />Hall in the parking lot. <br />2. Electronics Recycling Event – An event where residents can bring only electronics items <br />to be recycled by an electronics recycler such as JR Disposal, or Tech Dump. Residents <br />would be charged a fee depending on the electronic item. This would be simpler than a full <br />cleanup day and still provide electronics recycling for residents. This event could be hosted <br />at City Hall. <br />3. Recycling Drop-off Days – The City could coordinate with Green Lights Recycling in <br />Blaine to have cleanup day style drop-offs at their facility. Residents would bring their <br />materials to the recycler directly for a fee depending on the material. Green Lights <br />Recycling would manage and operate the event. They currently host events for several <br />cities at their facility. These cities include: Blaine, Anoka, Ham Lake, Fridley, Centreville, <br />Lexington, and Spring Lake Park. Additional information is included in attachment A. <br />Next Steps: <br />If Council selects option above, staff will do a deep dive into hosting an event and present findings <br />at a future workshop session. <br /> <br />Budget Impact: <br /> <br />The city currently has $21,000.00 budgeted for cleanup day in 2020. <br /> <br />Attachments: <br /> <br />A.
