Request for Council Action Date: October 9,2006 Item Number: 3. f Department Approval Manager Approval Agenda Section Item Description: �� Approving Switch to Weelcly Residential Recycling Service At its October 24,2005 meeting the City Council approved awarding a contract for Recycling Service to Eureka Recycling. Councilmembers requested the final contract contain a provision laying out the terms for switching from the current every other week collection to weekly collection. That provision requires the City to notify Eureka Recycling of the City's desire to switch to weel�ly collection of curbsid� residential recycling by November 1 of the year preceding the switch. The switch would then occur on or about Earth Day of the subsequent calendar year. Eureka would be responsible for publicizing the switch. The Council discussed the benefits of switching to weel�ly collection at its September 18,2006 meeting — more convenient for residents, additional material collected. According to the pricing structure in Eureka's proposal, the cost for weekly curbside collection in 2007 would be $2.45 per household per month — with biweekly collection the City would pay $2.14 per household per month in 2007. Switching to weel�ly collection would cost an additional $39,337.20 in 2007. So far in 2006, Roseville has received more than $44,000 in revenue sharing from the sale of our recyclable material. Proceeds from the revenue sharing would be used to cover the additional expense of weekly collection. Recommended Council Action A motion to authorize switching to weekly collection per the terms of the recycling contract with Eureka Recycling.
