��•��y CITY OF ARDEN HILLS <br /> Qo• m 4364 WEST ROUND LAKE ROAD <br /> • <br /> ARDEN HILLS, MN 55112-5794 <br /> August 3, 2000 <br /> Steve Perra <br /> Ace Solid Waste Inc. <br /> 3118 NW 162nd Lane <br /> Andover, MN 55304 <br /> RE: Garbage Collection Days <br /> Dear Mr. Perra: <br /> The Arden Hills City Council passed a new ordinance, #319, relating to the collection of <br /> garbage and refuse at their July 31, 2000, Council Meeting. This ordinance states that; <br /> The collection of garbage and other refuse shall be made at least once each <br /> week by a duly licensed collector. In regard to the collection of household <br /> generated garbage and refuse, the City shall be divided into two zones. <br /> Zone 1 is that portion of the City located south of Interstate 694. Zone 2 is <br /> that portion of the City located north of Interstate 694. Licensed <br /> residential collectors shall arrange customer collection routes and schedule <br /> so that collection occurs in Zone 1 on Tuesday of each week and in Zone 2 <br /> on Wednesday of each week, unless the designated collection date is a <br /> holiday, in which event collection will occur on the day following the <br /> holiday. This ordinance becomes effective on January 1, 2001. <br /> The City realizes and apologizes for the burden this places on the haulers and the <br /> inconvenience it may cause to some of the residents. However, most people feel the <br /> standardization of pickup days will have a positive effect on the City. <br /> The days of Tuesday and Wednesday were picked following discussions with haulers. <br /> These were the days most garbage and refuse is currently picked up, so the impact on <br /> haulers and residents is minimized. Another consideration was that Wednesday is already <br /> the recycling day, which coincides with garbage and refuse pickup north of Interstate 694. <br /> The City will begin working with the recycling contract to try and change the pickup date to <br /> Tuesday in the area south of Interstate 694. This way recycling days will coincide with <br /> garbage and refuse hauling in all areas of the City at some point. <br /> The City Council, and the Operations & Finance Committee, want to thank the haulers for <br /> their time, their ideas and their commitment to work with the City. <br /> dioh, <br /> Dwayne St. 'ord <br /> Public Works Director <br /> PHONE: (651) 633-5676 • FAX (651) 633-7839 <br />
