Gerhardson <br />Title Public Works Director <br />Administrator Reviewed: <br />t/p-i <br />Agenda Section: <br />Public Works <br />Item Description: Yard Waste Program 1994 <br />As we are all aware, funding for the yard waste program was discontinued at the end of 1993. <br />The City continued on with the program because there was not an alternative disposal site for <br />leaves or brush. Leaves and grass clippings were accepted with no charge. Brush was accepted <br />with a fee of $3.00 per cubic yard. <br />The leaves were transported to a compost site in Medina and the brush was transported to the <br />tree and brush disposal site in Brooklyn Center. <br />During the time the program was in effect this spring, we were able to dispose of one roll off <br />container of brush at Maple Grove. Three roll off containers were rejected and returned because <br />of unacceptable items contaminating the load. <br />Therefore it is recommended to accept leaves and grass only during the 1994 fall yard waste <br />program and have the residents haul their brush to the Maple Grove site. The cost to the <br />residents at the Maple Grove site is approximately $1.50 per cubic yard.
