Most municipalities contract with <br />one or more haulers or recycling collectors to provide curbside service. Two municipalities (Mounds <br />View and St. Anthony) provide for curbside service by an ordinance requiring licensed waste haulers to <br />provide a specified level of recycling service to their customers. <br />For multi -unit housing, some municipalities provide service to using the same contract as for curbside <br />recycling, some require by ordinance that licensed waste haulers provide recycling service, and some <br />rely on arrangements by building management through ordinance requirements. All municipalities <br />provide for collection of at least four broad materials (e.g., paper /cardboard, metal, plastic, glass, <br />textiles), at least every other week. As shown in Figure 3, curbside recycling tonnage has been relatively <br />stable at around 40,000 tons per year for about a decade. <br />Ramsey County Solid Waste Master Plan 2011 -2030 Page 1 38 <br />Approved by the Ramsey County Board of Commissioners on 3120112 <br />
