<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />several ideas for voluntary Cha11ges they would be willing to make. At the Commission's <br />request, those ideas have been put in written form by Mr. Doug Carnival, the attorney <br />representing the Mimlesota Chapter of the National Solid Waste Management <br />Association (NSw:MA), who was present at all the City meetings. That document is <br />submitted with this repOli as Appendix C. <br /> <br />Summary <br /> <br />The Solid Waste Commissioners realized that many of the goals adopted in January are <br />already being addressed by the existing system, depending on how wisely residents shop <br />for garbage hauling service. This was confirmed by the comments of residents and <br />discussions with haulers. But several goals are not being met, and the Commission feels <br />now, as it did in January, that these are important. We wanted to fmd real answers to <br />these questions: <br />. Do Falcon Heights residents pay more for trash pickup than residents of cities that <br />have organized collection? <br />. Would it make a real difference to our quality of life and our community <br />infrastructure ifwe hadfewer garbage trucks on our streets? <br />. Is it important for citizens to have a voice in determining where their garbage goes? <br /> <br />The information collected by the Solid Waste Commission is presented here in four <br />major sections: <br />1. Issues of cost and efficiency <br />2. The state of the solid waste industry and the impact of the present system on our <br />community <br />3. Where we send our trash: enviromnental and economic impacts <br />4. Falcon Heights' decision in context: the experience of other cities and counties <br /> <br />Finally, the Commission presents potential plans for going forward, with its <br />recommendatio~s. <br /> <br />City of Falcon Heights Final Report on Orgaoized Collection <br />October 13, 2004 <br /> <br />7 <br />
