Single Stream Recycling Containers <br />Ms. Evelyn Shields-Benford presented an update on solid waste management <br />services. She made a comparison between other cities in area of approximately <br />the same size, showing University City at the low end, in reference to what was <br />charged. University City is automating its single-stream recycling service. It <br />was determined that the City would need 12,800 carts city-wide, of which it has <br />presently purchased 3,000 carts. The remaining 9,800 carts would cost <br />$405,000, which would be funded by budget appropriation, reduced collection <br />costs and other realized savings through efficiencies implemented. Future items <br />to be considered in order to continue to reduce cost and increase revenues <br />were: <br />? <br /> Increase revenue stream by working with adjoining municipalities, seeking <br />business accounts, accepting private sector solid waste, recyclables <br />transferred directly to vendors for processing. <br />? <br /> Consider cart replacement or cart rental fee <br />? <br /> Increase yard waste sticker price <br />? <br /> Bill for yard waste <br />? <br /> Eliminate free stickers, October through December <br /> <br />Ms. Shields-Benford stated that the Public Works facility needed to be updated <br />along with the transfer station. She recommended continuing to explore public- <br />private partnership opportunities to minimize city costs. <br />University City has been the regional leader in recycling. <br /> <br />October 1, 2007 <br /> <br />
