COUNTY OF ANOKA Page 4 of5 Thank you. BF:kr Attachment cc: Carolyn Smith, Solid Waste Abatement Specialist ANOKA COUNTY REIMBURSEMENT FUNDING GUIDELINES In order to receive funding from the county, a municipality must abide by county ordinances and state laws. Since our municipal funding is coming from SCORE sales tax funds exclusively, certain requirements are necessary as well. No funding may be received until the county has a fully executed residential recycling agreement. Only expenses used to meet residential recycling goals are eligible. In general, wood chipping programs, yard waste collection, waste removal/disposal, and tires and waste oil collection/disposal expenses are not reimbursed by the county unless the municipality was 8% above the previous year's goal. Income from recyclables may be used towards problem material management (i.e., tires, waste oil disposal). Exam.nks of Eligible Expenses: 1. The cost of mailing and printing promotional materials such as brochures, door hangers, posters or stickers. 2. The percentage of the cost of a municipal newsletter devoted to recycling/yard waste information. 3. Recycling drop-off expenses such as building costs, operational expenses, market hauling costs, equipment purchases, site clean-up costs (including contaminated used motor oil), and salaries to monitor and manage the site. 4. Expenses incurred on a recycling day - wages paid to workers and hauling expense of recyclables. This does not include expenses for disposal of trash or material collected and used as a fuel, such as tires and oil. 5. Recycling containers - residential preference first, but commercial/industrial/institutional application could be considered especially those that can also be incorporated into a residential drop-off program. 6. Percentage of coordinator's salary spent on recycling (generally no more than 25 to 50 percent is eligible if a full-time employee). This does not include answering garbage complaints, waste contract questions or negotiations for garbage service. 7. Recycling collection costs, both curbside and drop-off. This may be in the form of a hauler incentive bonus for increased abatement or payment of service to offset total cost. Pro~edllre fo--.rJ,t~lI~~tjJ!gJLReimbursement 1.
