We urge the Community Development Department and the Recycling Coordinator to develop programs to educate Roseville businesses about State, County and private programs and practices to help them reduce waste, increase recycling and reduce the toxic character of their waste. Support the efforts of Ramsey County and the State of Minnesota to increase recycling, reduce waste and develop programs of product stewardship. We have made recommenda- tions to improve the system of waste management in the City of Roseville. But some efforts require partners with a broader reach. We know that Ramsey County and the State of Minnesota are working on systems to increase recycling, reduce waste and develop programs of product stewardship. It is fully in keeping with Roseville's stated environmental goals that the City should support those efforts through encouragement, education of residents, and hosting facilities and programs when practical. We urge the City Council, appropriate departments and the Recy- cling Coordinator to remain engaged with the State and County on these efforts and to participate when appropriate. The members of the Residential Solid Waste and Recycling Citizen Advisory Committee respectfully submit this report, May 20, 2002. 71
