. Minutes of the Regular Council Meeting, July 13, 1987 Page 5 . COMM. RPT. (Cont'd) Fifty letters sent earlier to all the recycling companies and garbage hauling companies in the area resulted in one firm bid, from Super Cycle, and an indication of interest, from Waste Management. Malone advised that Super Cycle's bid was for $12,OOO ($3.50 to $4.00 per household per year) for a monthly pickup service for recyclables. Malone also adVised that a recent Citizen's League report contends that Ramsey County has discouraged more competition in the recycling business by requiring all recyclables be taken to the center at 775 Rice St., owned and operated by Super Cycle, which also operates the predominant collection system. Ms. Halpine advised that any firms in the business are equally free to bring recyclables to the Ramsey County center. , Malone summarized by stating that Council may consider setting rates, based on volume; he pointed out that the Ramsey County fee of $2.24 will not be collected if we begin the recycling process.
