<br />#319 requiring that garbage and recycling haulers split their service days to accommodate the <br />future garbage and recycling collection needs of Arden Hills. The 694 split translated to .. <br />recyclable materials being picked up on Wednesday from those properties north of 694, and a W <br />Tuesday pick-up for those properties south of 694 (the pick-up schedule may differ if the normal <br />pick-up day falls on a holiday). <br /> <br />E-Z Recycling would also not request any pnce mcrease; however they would request an <br />extension oftheir contract until 2008. <br /> <br />Recvcline: Bin Update <br /> <br />Subsequent to the October 28th City Council meeting staff consulted with the City's recycling <br />contractor, E-Z Recycling, to obtain the best price on recycling bins. E-Z Recycling was able to <br />obtain a bid of $5,50 per recycling bin which would include the City's color of choice (from the <br />selection available) and have the City's logo hot-stamped on the bins. The bid has been attached <br />for Council review. <br /> <br />The pricing of $5.50 per bin is based on the City ordering 3,000 bins, approximately the number <br />of dwelling units in Arden Hills, E-Z Recycling has stated that they could deliver the bins to <br />residents' homes initially, and then any additional bins or bins for new residents could be picked <br />up at City Hall or from E-Z Recycling, The bins are available in several colors, the samples that <br />staffhave been provided with include: Medium Blue, Light Green (Kelly green), Brooks Green, <br />and Forest Green. It appears that the Brooks Green is the closest to the Arden Hills logo color. _ <br />The bins would include hot-stamping a white stamp of the Arden Hills Logo and text on both .. <br />long sides of the bins. Several bins could be stored at City Hall (in one of the storage rooms) and <br />when necessary could be restocked from a larger supply stored at E-Z recycling. These bins <br />could then be provided to new residents or residents could purchase replacement bins or <br />additional bins if they so choose. <br /> <br />Issues: <br />1. <br /> <br />2. <br /> <br />Which color bins should be purchased? (staff recommends Brooks Green bins to <br />match the City's logo color) <br />Where would the additional bins be stored? (City Hall, PW Maintenance Facility, or <br />E-Z Recycling) <br />If residents need additional bins beyond the 3,000 how will that be handled? (will <br />the City purchase 50-100 more to restock or is the resident responsible for <br />purchasing their own?). <br /> <br />3. <br /> <br />Staff Recommeudation <br /> <br />Staff recommends that Council discuss the following items: <br /> <br />1) Discuss the proposed Agreement for Curbside Recycling Services <br /> <br />2) <br /> <br />Discuss the purchase of3,OOO recycling bins from Tulip Corporation for $5.50 each, a <br />total of$16,500.00 to come from the Recycling Enterprise Fund (#603). <br /> <br />- <br /> <br />Recycling- Council Memo 03/15/03 - Page 2 of2 <br />
