Body
Description/Background:
Administration is exploring the option of curbside glass recycling or continue with storage bins in key locations throughout the City. Recently, a survery was completed to assess residents interest in glass recycling and if there was enough interest to implement a opt-in curbside program. The results of the survey will be presented which indicate higher than expected interest.
Fiscal Impact:
Expanding the number of bins in our community would not cost the City any additional costs. Waste Management has offered to expand the number of bins already in place. The curbside program would be opt-in by the residents and they would pay the full cost of the program. The City would charge an additional one dollar per month to cover its costs to administer the billing of customers.
Further action to be taken:
Advertize an "Intent to Soul Source" to verify there are no other entities willing to provide curbside glass recycling. Enter into negotiations with Momentum Recycling to provide curside recycling.
Recommended Action and/or Suggested Motion:
Recommendation
Administration recommends we move forward with negotiations on a contract with Momentum Recycling to provide the curbside glass recycling services.
