Unauthorized Collection of Recyclable Materials. <br /> <br />11-22. Purpose. The City of Arden Hills has contracted with a <br />service provider for the collection of recyclable materials and has <br />otherwise implemented a recycling program within the City.

Scavenging also causes confusion among participating <br />residents and thereby disrupts the publicity and educational <br />processes of an authorized program. The purpose of this article is <br />. to ensure that a designated recycling program will be implemented <br />in an orderly fashion to avoid adverse effects on the public <br />health, welfare, safety and environment. <br /> <br />11-23.
