MINUTES A copy of the minutes of the Eagan Solid Waste Abatement Commission meeting of September 17, 1986 is enclosed for your review on pages 3- 5- . These minutes, subject to any change, require approval by the committee. II. NEW BUSINESS A. Review of Compost and Clean -Up Day Publicity -- Enclosed on pages _ _a_ through .? you'll find copies of the City press release and the flier which is being distributed in the community. The press has reported both clean up day and compost activities to a greater extent this year than last. In addition, the clean -up and recycling day flier has been distributed to major employers and posted at numerous retailer through the work of an Eagle Scout who is completing his public service require- ments. The notice has also been sent to all area churches with the request that it be posted and publicized in their bulletins. The clean -up and recycling day notice on page "7 and the City Resource Recovery Bulletin on page J make up a two sided flier which has been distributed with the local papers to all businesses and residents within the City. The clean -up day event is also being publicized on local cable television. These avenues for publicity make up most of those recommended by the commission for improving awareness of the City programs. B. Presentation - Warren Wilson, Dakota County, Soild Waste Planner - -Mr. Warren Wilson will be on hand to discuss the County's role in the solid waste abatement mandate. As you will recall, Mr. Jim Utley of the Metropolitan Council indicated at the last commission meeting that the Council had placed primary responsibility for solid waste master planning with the counties. Mr. Wilson is in the process of developing Dakota County's Solid Waste Master Plan and he will comment on his progress in that regard. Mr. Wilson will also discuss the progress on the County's Solid Waste Processing Facility and its implications for local waste abatement. He will further discuss several �, alternatives which the county is interested in pursuing with the City of Eagan. One of these involves the implementation of a curbside recycling program using court services, individuals for labor and Goodwill Industries as a marketing entity. Mr. Wilson will provide ample time for questions so please review the information in your staff reports relative to waste processing facilities, source separation, drop sites and curbside pickup. III. OTHER BUSINESS IV. DISTRIBUTION A. Composting and Recycling Profiles -- Enclosed in your packets on pages 9 through SAS/ you will find profiles of the metro- politan area recycling programs and composting programs as they were prepared last year.

Absent was Larry Knutson. Also present was Jim Uttley, Solid Waste Planner for the Metropolitan Council. MINUTES Upon motion by DeBilzan, seconded by Mann, all members voting in favor, the minutes of the September 3, 1986 Solid Waste Abatement Commission meeting were approved. METROPOLITAN COUNCIL PRESENTATION BY JIM UTTLEY Administrative Assistant Hohenstein introduced Jim Uttley of the Metropolitan Council. Mr. Uttley is one of the staff planners in charge of implementing the Council's solid waste guidelines with counties and cities. Mr. Uttley provided background on solid waste planning for the group. He indicated that the first solid waste master plan for the metropolitan area was developed in 1970 and has been revised and updated several times since. The most recent changes with respect to solid waste planning arose after Sandra Gardebring left the MPCA to Chair the Metropolitan Council. At that time, the focus of the Council's solid waste planning shifted from landfills to landfill alternatives. He indicated that landfills remain necessary for residue, but that the Metropolitan Council has determined that all waste should be processed before entering landfills. The Council's goals for solid waste were that 4% would be reduced through waste reduction, including mulching, back yard compost and the use of larger containers and less wasteful practices. 16% of the remainder would be removed through recycling and source separation. 80% of the remainder would be processed through resource recovery facilities such as mass burn plants and RDF facilities. The RDF plants could include additional processing to remove ferris metals, glass and aluminum. The product of such plants is either a fluffy or densified fuel which can be burned in energy producing facilities. The remainder of all wastes including ash and non - recoverable items would continue to go to landfills. This remainder would amount to roughly 16% of the ordinary waste stream. In this way, it would be possible to utilize less landfill space over a longer period of time. The processing would prevent organics, which are the major contaminents from entering the landfills. Any new landfills which are required by future demand will have to meet design criteria including liners, etc., to be developed. Mr. Uttley indicated that his role is to address the 16% of materials which are to be diverted from the waste stream through source separation and recycling. He said that the 3 1 county's role is to divide the 16% among the communities within it. Hennepin county is the most agressive in this area, offering a $1,000 lottery prize for participants. He indicated, however, that the private recycling programs are in the process of retrenching. The market for recyclables began drying up 1 1/2 years ago. In the last six months, smaller recyclers have left the business and only large recyclers have remained. Nonprofit organizations have found that recycling does not provide adequate return for their efforts. Meanwhile other businesses are entering the field. These include Goodwill Industries and Supercycle, a recycling equipment manufacturer. Mr. Uttley went on to say that the Metropolitan Council has begun to encourage organized hauling as a means to meet the 16% goal. He said that organized hauling was the most logical way to do curb side hauling while reducing hidden costs to communities in the form of damaged roads and excess costs due to duplication of routes. Mann asked if any municipality has encouraged an RDF plant through incentives to a large user. Uttley responded that none of the plants under consideration at this time has received a particular subsidy. However, the counties and municipalities which are participating in their development may be viewed as subsidizing the plants through the designation of their wastes to the facility. He did indicate that virtually all plants in operation or under consideration have a large user which will market both the refuse drive fuel and the recycling products to diverse national and international markets. He did indicate, however, that the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency is increasingly concerned about exhaust gases from refuse derived fuel plants. Member DeBilzan indicated that incinerators attempt to use double burners to burn off exhaust gases and reduce the amount ultimately released into the air. He indicated that the Coca Cola plant uses much of its own wood and paper waste to generate hot water for their bottling operations. This offsets 65% of their ordinary utility bill. Uttley said that the Metropolitan Council has placed the requirement upon counties to implement the regional solid waste plan. The system which was recommended was to encourage free enterprise with a few restrictions. Those restrictions pertain to the designation of the waste stream by the county to the user or users of its choice and the attempt to introduce monetary disincentives to landfilling. The Commission then discussed the part composting would play in the overall solid waste plan. Uttley indicated that composting and co- composting which adds sewage sludge to the compost process to raise the nitrogen level and enhance the decomposition could successfully reduce waste to a reuseable form. He said, however, that compost needs to be shredded and screened to maintain a quality which is marketable. He said that co- compost on the other hand would be subject to new rules from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency to control its level of contaminants. 2 f The Commission then took up a specific discussion of several alternatives which are possible for the community. With respect to organized hauling, Uttley indicated that it reduced that level of street damage, unsightliness and noise that is ordinarily associated with an open hauling situation. He indicated that cities have a variety of means of instituting organized hauling from the division of a city into districts to the bidding of the whole city to a single hauler. Administrative Assistant Hohenstein indicated that there were positive and negative facets to organized hauling. Some of the negative aspects relate to issues of free enterprise, antitrust concerns and the administration of a solid waste contract in communities which have not managed waste directly in the past. Uttley indicated, however, that it is the firm belief of most people in the waste management business that organized hauling is inevitable. Uttley described several of the programs underway in Dakota County. He outlined the Goodwill dropoff centers in Apple Valley and Burnsville. He also discussed the fact that Inver Grove Heights, West St. Paul, South St. Paul and Mendota Heights were pursuing a joint compost program. Mann then asked Uttley to list several of the successful composting programs in the area. Uttley indicated that Woodbury, Forest Lake, Hennepin county and Roseville all have quality programs which require varying levels of cost and committment. Members of the Commission expressed a desire to see the local compost program continue to grow and develop and stressed the need to publicize the program to educate the public. ADJOURNMENT Upon motion by Mann, seconded by Milbridge, all in favor, the meeting was adjourned at 6:24 p.m. J DH Dated Secretary j eh 3 3 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: CONTACT: Jon Hohenstein, 454 -8100 FALL CLEAN UP AND RECYCLING DAY OCTOBER 11 Eagan's Fall Clean Up and Recycling Day will be Saturday, October 11.

This report is a series of profiles that describe recycling programs in the region. The profiles were compiled by the Metropoli- tan Councils Solid Waste Abatement Assistance Team. The profiles are intended to provide background information for anyone who would like to begin a commun- ity recycling program or is interested in an overview of current programs. Each profile sheet gives basic information concerning organization, financing, staffing, hours and services of the program. Most of the programs that are described have some connection with a local government. Several municipalities have created citizen commissions to manage their recycling efforts. Others have provided general funds to a nonprofit group to help finance collection of recyclables. Some recycling programs, however, have been planned, financed, and operated entirely by community volunteers. Recycling efforts completely managed by private companies have not been included at this time. The profiles are intended to be an introduction to each program. Please con- tact the individuals listed in the profiles if you wish more information.

The profiles are intended to provide background information for anyone who would like to begin a community composting program or is interested in an overview of current programs. Each profile sheet gives basic information concerning organization, financing, staffing, hours and services of the program. Most of the programs that are described have some connection with a local government. The profiles are intended to be an introduction to each program. Please con- tact the individuals listed in the profiles if you wish more information.

Washington County and Forest Lake have developed a site where you can recycle the leaves and grass you rake each autumn and spring. We push the leaves into large piles and let them decay into finished compost. Once it is ready, you'll be able to pick up as much as you need for your lawn and garden at no charge. Here's how you can do it: HOW: Once you've raked your leaves, put them in bags or pile them into • a truck or trailer and bring them to the site. Empty the leaves onto the pile- -there will be a monitor present to show you where. Please bring your bags home with you and use them over again. WE CANNOT ACCEPT BRUSH, TRASH OR ANYTHING ELSE so, please, bring only leaves and grass clippings. WHEN The site will be open on Wednesdays and weekends from April 13 through May 12. The hours are: Wednesdays: noon to 4:30 PM Weekends: 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM At all other times the gate will be locked.

New Jersey 08105 (609) 964 -5800 October 15, 1980 Herbert H. Hood City of Woodbury 33 Delaware St. Woodbury, NJ 08096 Dear Mr. Hood: Last week, someone from your office contacted me regarding Goodwill removing large items dropped off at your recycling centers. As Goodwill has no facilities for refinishing or reupholstering, we felt that it was best to decline the offer to pick up furniture from your centers. However, there is another way Goodwill and the City of Woodbury may be able to work together in this endeavor. At the present time, Goodwill is in the process of converting from collection boxes to additional attended collection centers (pic- tures enclosed). An attended collection center (ACC) is a 40 foot trailer placed on location and manned by an attendant (6 days a week from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m.) who is present to receive material con- tributions and issue tax receipts for thses donated items. An ACC has several advantages over a collection box. First, it ' eliminates much of the vandalism problem associated with the collec- tion boxes. Second, it's larger and can hold furniture and other • large items without leaving them outside and exposed to the weather. Third, they are more convenient and fourth, a tax receipt can be issued at the time of the donation. Goodwill is basically involved in the recycling of clothes, house- wares, appliances, and usable furniture to support its rehabilita- tion programs. It's my opinion that one of these centers would work in quite nicely with your recycling program and offer an added — service to the c.tizens of Woodbury. Please give this matter some thought and perhaps we could get toge- ther in the near future to further discuss the possibilities of us working together. Please don't hesitate to call me at 964 -5800, if you have any questions. Sincerely yours, ;4 Ted Schroeder Transportation Director — 16 — G /' V. Evaulation of Feasibility Study 5_(b` A.

October 31, 1980 Woodbury has the unique opportunity to become a model for the proposed state resource recovery program. We are the first community in the state to endeavor to implement a mandatory recycling program for 45% of our waste materials. This will include paper, glass, food waste, and aluminum and metal. Positive public education will insure a successful program. We need support from responsible community organizations to inform residents of the program design and benefits of recycling. Members of City Council invite you and /or your representatives to attend our premier presentation, "Woodbury - Choose To Reuse ", Tuesday, November 18, 1980, at 8:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers. Share with us the responsibility of managing our waste problems wisely. Your response to this letter would be appreciated. Please contact Herb Hood's office at 845 - •1300, Ex. 34. Sincerely, Frederick K. Bayer, tiiayor Donald P. Sanderson, Chairmen, Recycling Comm. Herbert H. Hood, Supt., Streets & Utilities DPS /jkd - 22 - / 7 November 18, 1980 Wise management of wastes we produce daily is everyone's responsibility: The burden of disposing 6,448 tons of waste this year cost the City $124,360. In 1981, landfill rates will triple! Our landfill contract, alone, could be $90,000. By 1986, all county landfills will be closed. A mandatory source separation program to re- cover food waste, paper, glass, and aluminum is an immediate and simple solution to meet the solid waste disposal needs in our community. This plan, a cumulation of six months study by this commit- - tee, represents 45% reduction of municipal waste buried in a landfill. This means a savings in dis- posal fees, the extension of the life of the land- fill, plus additional revenues earned from providing raw materials to local industries. To guarantee the supply of reusable waste, which makes recycling successful, requires maximum public participation. Implementing a community education program needs your suggestions and support.

As we look at the results of how the program has fared, we are pleased to say the project is a success. Weekly, more residents are recycling when they discover it is not as complicated as originally expected. There have been educational programs in all neighborhoods, designed to help those who did not completely understand what to do. Yes, there have been some problems, but they are being resolved. By placing re- cyclables in reusable containers such as buckets, heavy cardboard boxes, baskets, etc. the job of pick -up becomes easier. If storage space is adequate, place your recyclables at curbside only when your containers are full, thus reducing the number of stops made by pick -up crews. The city reports show the amount of trash taken to the landfill has been reduced by one half. The cost for dumping has gone from $24.00 to $57.00 per truck load. A considerable savings can be ex- pected over a period of time as the program continues. A reasonable start -up period was built into the program. The time has now come to expect that everyone should be recycling. Trash containing recyclable material will not be picked up on Monday and Tuesday. Continued disregard for the law may lead to fines up to $500. If residents have a problem, help is on the way by calling 845 -1300. Recycling can become a good habit for the whole family. Many thanks to the residents of Woodbury for their splendid cooperation. Sincerely, 1:4„„ Donald P. San erson, Chairman Recycling Committee DPS /jkf - 51 - 9_3 I1.

Up to 25 percent of residential refuse can be reclaimed from the waste stream by source separation. SOURCE SEPARAT I ON i s a viable option for providing low cost and easy to process materials for industry. Source separation of one or more materials is not a new concept. Recycling of the solid waste stream is a standard practise in most countries. 1 WE can provide a solution to an efficient and effective source separation recycling program. Working together well help you with the planning, organization, and implementation of a successful program. a12kai::8 COLLECTION SYSTEMS ........... tit ::: : : :: W.
