Message <br />From: Jackie /fi /�ri����i�9T�G %iii /� � � � %/� /yi' µ, <br />/// / �� // i ,!�%yn o /Gi <br />��wl %� %ir %���/ /'its %�ii��� /�l /% � ����,� ��,,, i <br />Wednesday, <br />r city.counc1i1@cLrosevl11e.mn.us <br />SUbject: Single Sort Recycling <br />Mayor and Council Members - <br />I support the single sort recycling for many reasons: <br />-Page 1 of 1 <br />1) Easier to combine all recycle materials into one container. Sure two sort is easy, but single sort will even be <br />easier. <br />2} Single sort containers will have a lid on them, so on windy days we will not have recycle materials blowing all <br />over the city. Therefore, we will have less trash laying around our city, <br />3 ) The single sort containers will have wheels on them, so all we will have to do is roll the container down to the <br />curb. No more bending over and picking heavy containers when there is a lot of paper in a container, <br />4) It has been seen by the Mayor and Council Members who have toured the recycling plant, that the waste is <br />minimal. <br />5) I don't believe we need a pilot program to prove the single sort will work. I find it hard to believe that people do <br />not wart to make their lives easier and you don't have to be a rocket scientist to know single sort is easier than <br />two sort. Recycling is an educational issue anyway, it has nothing to do with how many containers we use. So, <br />let's make it easier for those of us who do recycle and educate those who don't. Selling them on a single -sort <br />should be easier than a two sort. A pilot program for a select area would not show how the entire city would <br />benefit for a single sort. An area may be picked that doesn't tend to recycle now, or an area may be picked that <br />most recycl e n ow. Whose to say that would be a g ood sam pl i ng to base a dec ision on. <br />6) The cost is minimal to implement the single sort. <br />Sometimes you as a Council just need to make a decision on an issue. You don't always have to study an issue <br />to death, and 1 mean that literally. Some issues just die due to the fact they are studied until no one makes a <br />decision and they just seem to disappear and later we wonder whatever happened to it. Don't let this one of those <br />issues, it is too important. Don't frustrate those that are thinking about recycling and are hearing all this <br />controversy and saying maybe' I wont give recycling a try afterall . I feel it is tirhe to implement this program <br />educate residents about recycling, and get on with other business. It really has blown me away that so much time <br />is being spent on this issue and I think it is time to move on. <br />Jackie ch roeder <br />Roseville Resident <br />9118/2003 <br />
