minutes, subject to any change require approval by the Commission.
III. STAFF REPORT
A. Dakota County Commercial Rector
Waste Reduction and Recycling Plan
This final report submitted June 25, 1991 was prepared by Resource
Integration Systems, Ltd from Portland, OR.
The purpose of this plan is to recommend policies and programs that
will improve waste reduction and recycling activities by Dakota
County's commercial waste generators. This action will help the
County meet aggressive diversion goals set by the State of
Minnesota. State legislation requires metropolitan counties to
divert 35% of their waste streams by 1993 and 45% (excluding yard
wastes) by 1996. The Metropolitan Council has proposed a 50%
diversion requirement by the year 2000.
The report is organized as follows:
o The first section describes conditions in Dakota County that are
relevant to a commercial recycling program.
o The second section uses this information to identify key
barriers, opportunities and issues. It asks why recyclables
generated by commercial establishments continue to be landfilled in
significant amounts.
o The third section evaluates a variety of programs put in place
by other municipalities and counties around North America.
o The final section recommends a course of action for the County
to increase waste reduction and recycling among its commercial
waste generators.
You will find a copy of the Executive Summary on pages to .
B. Metropolitan Council Policy Plan
The Metropolitan Council's Waste Management Policy Plan is expected
to be approved sometime this fall. The twenty year guide plan will
address new ideas for handling the over 3.5 million tons of garbage
produced in the region each year.
The council expects garbage volumes to increase 40% over the next
twenty years. Diverting raw garbage from landfills remains the
biggest goal for the new policy. The policy asks that 50% of the
region's garbage be recycled by the year 2000, up from 35% now.
Other key changes the policy asks for include:
o increase recycling to service all apartment buildings and
encourage business recycling.
o establish garbage rates according to weight or volume.
o a new emphasis on reducing the toxicity of garbage to reduce
leachate in landfills and harmful emissions from incinerators.
o increased tip fees at landfills.
C. Dakota County /Eagan Compost Facility
The future of the Dakota County /Eagan compost facility located
adjacent to the Eagan Municipal Center is not secure. Future yard
waste program evaluation is needed to facilitate a smooth transfer
to a different site within the city if needed. As noted by the
high volume of material brought to the Eagan site, usage has been
significantly higher in Eagan than the main Lakeville location.
County and city staff have been scouting for a new site since the
spring but have found a very limited amount of land available
and /or accessible for such an operation. In addition, staff has
recently begun discussions with the Metropolitan Waste Control
Commission regarding usage of land on their property.
Staff is requesting input from the commission on possible scenarios
for future yard waste operations and avenues for staff to pursue to
ensure program availability to residents.
IV. OLD BUSINESS
A. Backyard Compost Ordinance
Staff has reviewed the comments made at the regular commission
meeting in August regarding a new draft for residential backyard
compost sites. In addition, staff has conferred with
representatives from the cities of Farmington and St. Paul
regarding potential problems or shortfalls connected with the
ordinance.
Enclosed on page you will find a copy of a DRAFT backyard
composting ordinance for your review.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: Recommend or deny adoption
of draft ordinance for City Council review.
V. NEW BUSINESS
A. 1992 Funding Application
Staff has prepared the 1992 Landfill Abatement Funding Application
for Dakota County. Included in the application are estimates for
residential tonnage, the program work plan and the 1992 budget
outlining county and city support levels.
The funding guidelines for 1992 are $2 /HH /Yr to cover both
administrative and promotion /education expenditures. The 1992
abatement goal is 16% or approximately 3590 tons of which 25% may
be yard waste tons.
The application is due to the County October 1, 1991 and requires
City Council action for submission.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve /recommend the
1992 Funding Application for review by the Eagan City Council.
VI. OTHER BUSINESS
A. Meeting Schedule Change
Staff would like to request a change in our regular meeting date
from the second Tuesday of each month to the fourth Tuesday of each
month. Staff has surveyed most members and the consensus seems to
be an acceptance for the move.
In addtion to the date change, staff is requesting that the
commission review the current meeting time as well. Since our
change to the evening hour we have lost participation of at least
two members on a regular basis. Originally, the intention of the
change was to encourage resident participation and to date we have
not had any increase in participation. The original change was
targeted through December for a sixth month trial period.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: Review staff requests and
recommend meeting time and date.

IX. ADJOURNMENT
MINUTES OF A MEETING OF THE
SOUD WASTE ABATEMENT COMMISSION
Eagan, Minnesota
August 13, 1991
A regular meeting of the Eagan Solid Waste Abatement Commission was held on Tuesday,,
August 13, 1991 at 5:30 p.m. Present were Craig Seim, Terry Davis, Darlene Bahr, Dennis Seiz, Floyd Hiar
and Ken Ische. Absent were Earl Milbridge, Terry Jacobs and Larry Knutson. Also present were Recycling
Coordinator Hageman, Assistant to the City Administrator Hohenstein and County Recycling Planner Mike
Trdan.
AGENDA
Upon motion by Bahr, seconded by Seim, all members voting in favor, the agenda was
approved as presented.
MINUTES
Upon motion by Bahr, seconded by Seim, all members voting in favor, the minutes of the
July 9, 1991 meeting were approved as presented.
RECYCLING PROGRAM SIX MONTH PROGRESS REPORT
Hageman reported that the City had recycled 2,970 tons of recyclables and yard waste
through six months in 1991. She also stated their were several new haulers that had been integrated into
the system. She further stated that if the City counts recyclables only that still accounts for approximately
one -half of the 14% waste reduction goal for the year.
Bahr asked if these figures included the tonnage from Cub Foods. Hageman stated that
the figures do not currently include Cub's tonnages and that she will follow up with the store manager.
Davis asked if the addition of magazines will help the tonnage figures. Seim stated that there would
definitely be an additional tonnage from the source. He stated that BFI had started magazine collection as
of August 1 and the volume was increasing slowly. He stated that this material needed more publicity and
that additional haulers would need to collect them to have the greatest impact. Davis noted that yard waste
volumes have been going down. Trdan stated that while more sites are available, less volume is being
bagged. Hageman stated that the total also does not include six tons of white office paper and
miscellaneous recycling from City Hall.
WRAPP
Hageman reported that the Waste Reduction and Procurement Policy ( WRAPP) group had
begun to meet at the Municipal Center to discuss recycling, waste reduction and recyclable procurement.
Selz volunteered fire fighter participation in this group. Bahr suggested that the City prepare findings which
could be written in the form of a resource or report for small businesses attempting to recycle in the City.
1992 RECYCUNG BUDGET
Hageman outlined the process to date and reviewed the proposed budget with the
commission. She stated that the budget was substantially below previous years as a consequence of
changes in accounting funding policies. Bahr indicated that if the budget must be cut, staff should consider
cutting advertising in local papers since surveys have indicated that is the least read altemative. This was
followed by a general discussion by the commission of budget priorities. The commission also discussed
the position of Recycling Coordinator and Hohenstein indicated that two options existed. One was to
continue the current contract relationship and the other being explored by the City Administrator and City
Council was to use Dakota County funds, cable franchise fees and general fund contribution to fund a

Communications /Recycling Coordinator position. Hiar stated that he feels that it is inappropriate to budget
for a full -time coordinator position because the amount of work being required of the position is diminishing.
Hohenstein stated that the City Administrator and City Council would consider all aspects of the Recycling
Coordinator position and the proposed position in approaching a decision for the coming year. It was also
indicated that higher recycling goals will imply a need for more work rather than less. Hohenstein stated
that the budget would be going to the City Council for discussion in August and September and that
progress in that regard would be reported to the commission.
BACKYARD COMPOSTING ORDINANCE
Hageman introduced the Item and reviewed ordinances from the cities of St. Paul and West
St. Paul which regulate the location and appearance of back yard composting bins and the materials
permitted to be composted. Selz indicated that additional regulation may force additional illegal dumping
which has become a significant problem in the City. He stated that the park in his neighborhood has been
filled with illegally dumped yard waste and other trash. Upon motion by Bahr, seconded by Hiar, all
members voting in favor, the commission recommended that the City consider placement of no dumping
signs at public properties considered to be problem areas, such signage should state the penalty or fine for
illegal dumping. Examples of sites that should be considered are Moonshine Park and fire stations.
Returning to the composting ordinances, Hiar pointed out that he likes the reference to
residential property and believes that the regulations should not be overly broad. It was pointed out that
controlling locations and materials may not control odors. Hohenstein stated that the City may be able to
handle odor complaints as nuisance complaints apart from a composting ordinance. Davis asked if the
City's ordinance should be ambiguous on the point of odor. Hohenstein stated that staff will follow up with
the attorney's office with respect to nuisance and property management of piles.
Davis stated that he feels the City needs an ordinance but that the commission needs input
from composting experts including garden dubs, extension services and the like. Hiar stated that he agreed
with Davis and that an ordinance would be a useful tool for the City. Davis asked if there is a city with more
experience in this area. Hageman stated that the cities of St. Paul and Farmington both had good
experience and that she would pursue further contacts with them. Bahr stated that the City should consider
other materials beside leaves, grass and garden wastes. Hageman stated that staff will follow up and draft
a composite ordinance based on commission input.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this commercial recycling plan is to recommend policies and
programs that will improve waste reduction and recycling activities by the
businesses and institutions that generate waste in Dakota County. This
improvement will help the county meet diversion goals set by the State of
Minnesota. State legislation requires metropolitan counties to divert 35% of
their waste streams by 1993 and 45% (excluding yard waste) by 1996. The
Metropolitan Council has proposed a 50% diversion requirement by the year
2000. These are ambitious goals.
•
Commercial recycling is in its beginning stages in Dakota County. The
current 30% recycling rate can be attributed to large manufacturers and
retailers who can easily divert significant amounts of high -value recyclables.
In many cases, these materials have been diverted from the start and never
have been part of the waste stream. A significant increase in the commercial
recycling rate will require recovery of a greater variety of materials and the
provision of service to the many small office, service and retail concerns.
The Waste Disposal System
Waste reduction and recycling is built on a complex system that includes the
following components:
• Suppliers who provide materials used by businesses and institutions
in their work and that ultimately become part of the waste stream.
• Waste generators who are more or less conscious of waste reduction
and recycling alternatives and more or less motivated to change
disposal behaviors.
• Haulers who range from those who provide integrated waste
management services that include technical assistance to generators,
collection of a full range of recyclables and investment in processing
facilities to those who are disinterested in providing recycling service.
• Processors including those who accept only separated materials and
those who sort loads of mixed recyclables or who recover materials
from loads of waste rich in recyclables.
• End markets for potential recyclables.
• A disposal system (landfill or incinerator) that may be cheap or
expensive to use.
• Government policies and programs that may or may not require or
encourage the reduction and recycling of commercial waste.
iii
Dakota County: Opportunities for Recycling
The commercial waste stream in Dakota County is distributed among many
small and medium sized generators scattered around the county. Many have
a recyclable but multi- material waste stream. The combination of small size,
diverse waste stream and geographic spread creates a challenge for recyding
collection.
57% of Dakota County's commercial waste by weight consists of materials that
have good to excellent area markets. As much as 17% more is potentially
recyclable if area markets develop. However, this does not mean that 86% of
the commercial waste stream can be recovered even if 100% participation is
achieved. Some materials will be too contaminated to recycle or may be
present in composites that cannot be recycled. It is recommended in this
report that the County set goals to divert 42% of the commercial waste stream
by the end of 1993 and 53% by the year 2000.
Markets for office paper, corrugated containers, newspaper, glass, ferrous
metal and aluminum are good in the metropolitan area. These markets
should be able to absorb increased quantities from Dakota County. There is, as
a result, great potential for improving recycling activities to help the County
meet State waste diversion goals.
However, there is little evidence that the commercial sector is ready to take
leadership or respond actively on its own. A survey of businesses conducted
jointly by the cities of Inver Grove Heights and South St. Paul supports this
conclusion: the most common response given by non - recyclers for their
inaction was that they did not know how to go about it.
In addition, most waste haulers in Dakota County are not actively soliciting
recycling accounts except from generators who have large amounts of clean,
marketable material. While haulers will provide recyding service on
demand to their commercial clients, none has put significant effort into
seeking accounts. This is largely because of the marginal economics of
providing comprehensive recycling service.
Barriers to Increased Commercial Recycling
Four factors are primarily responsible for limiting recycling activity in Dakota
County. These same factors impede recycling efforts in many other parts of
the country.
• Poor economics of collecting commercial waste as recydables rather
than as trash.
iv
• Lack of motivation and awareness in the commercial community.
• Lack of recycling experience on the part of waste haulers.
• Lack of clear direction from government about standards for
commercial waste management.
Our recommendations have been designed to address or, where appropriate,
circumvent these barriers so as to increase the level of commercial waste
reduction and recyding.
Recommendations: Phase 1
The County should:
1. Adopt the commercial recycling strategy and establish countywide goals
for the commercial recycling effort.
2. Dedicate staff to the commercial waste reduction and recycling program.
3. Expand its in -house waste reduction and recycling program.
4. Develop a promotion program for commercial recycling.
5. Provide technical assistance and support for the commercial WR /R
program.
6. Establish a data base for the commercial WR /R program.
7. Form a public /private partnership that asks businesses and institutions
to take some of the financial and leadership responsibility for the
program.
8. Provide support for recyding infrastructure development.
9. Evaluate program results and recommend implementation of Phase 2 if
goals are not met.
Recommendations: Phase 2 (if needed)
10. Assist waste generators with up -front capital expenditures.
11. Provide grants to municipalities wishing to undertake commercial waste
reduction and recycling projects.
v
12. Require waste haulers to provide recycling service to their customers at a
cost not to exceed garbage service.
13. Require commercial waste generators to separate designated recydables
and prepare brief waste reduction and recycling plans.
Roles and Activities
The County should have major responsibility for establishing and
monitoring the program in light of its mandate to ensure the appropriate
infrastructure for achieving responsible waste management within its
borders. Once it has established a base for the program, grants may be
available for interested municipalities to provide waste audits and work with
the County to co- sponsor events and demonstration projects. Municipalities
should also help the County with program monitoring and evaluation.
Waste generators as a group should take responsibility for seeing that they
respond to County services and should provide financial support where
appropriate. Waste haulers must learn more about, and become committed
to, the commercial waste reduction and recycling process. Haulers with
processing capacity should open their facilities to other county haulers at a
reasonable price.
In order to achieve its goals, the County must undertake a number of specific
activities. These activities can be classified by type as follows:
• Model programs in County facilities, demonstrating techniques for
source reduction and reuse, collection of recyclables, and recycled
product procurement
• Support programs for commercial generators and haulers, such as
establishing a waste reduction and recyding hotline, conducting waste
audits for businesses and institutions, setting up workshops targeted to
specific groups of waste generators, and creating a recycling resource
and information center
• Planning and professional development for County staff, including
developing a database of nonresidential recycling in the County.
• Promoting recycling to County businesses and institutions through a
systematic program of education
• Infrastructure development, including outreach to haulers of
nonresidential recyclables, evaluating processing capacity, establishing
demonstration collection projects, developing markets, offering grants
to waste generators, and facilitating the purchase of recycling
containers
vi
• Fostering public/private cooperation such as developing leadership
within the private sector and cooperating regionally through the Solid
Waste Management Coordinating Board.
