LAKE MINNETONKA CONSERVATION DISTRICT <br />11/3/92 <br />TO: <br />FROM: <br />Environment Committee <br />Executive Director Gene Strommen <br />SUBJECT: Recommendation on Placement of Trash Containeis at <br />Public Lake Accesses <br />BACKGROUND. Trash containers at public lake accesses have <br />been provided over the years by some cities, Hennepin County <br />and Hennepin Parks, but not the MN DNR. The LMCD provided <br />litter barrels in earlier years, but these have been <br />discontinued since about the mid-eighties as being obsolete <br />for purposes of emptying by mechanical means. <br />A Management Plan objective recommends a program for <br />placement and servicing of trash containers at winter and <br />summer accesses. <br />A preliminary review by the Environment Committee May 12, and <br />again October 13 suggested a reconsideration of this <br />objective. Public trash containers placed for boaters and <br />lake users are being abused and becoming receptacles for <br />household waste. Examples of this abuse were identified at <br />both city and county accesses. <br />CURRENT STATUS. Trash container service <br />accesses for summer use, also open during <br />provided as noted: <br />Grays Bay Dam, Hennepin County <br />101 Causeway, Minnetonka <br />Wayzata Bay, Wayzata <br />North Arm, Hennepin County <br />Spring Park, " " <br />Minnetrista <br />MN DNR <br />Minnetrista <br />Deephaven <br />Williams St. <br />Kings Point, <br />Tuxedo Blvd. <br />Carsons Bay, <br />Mound Park, Mound <br />at principal public <br />the winter, is <br />2 CuYd dumpster <br />2 " " <br />55 gal. barrel <br />2 CuYd dumpster <br />2 " <br />None <br />None <br />55 gal. barrel <br />2 CuYd dumpster <br />55 gal. barrel 2. <br />recycling container <br />Winter accesses consist of additional "street ends for <br />motorized vehicles.
