Our largest commitment to recycling is the brush and lawn waste drop off facility. In 2003, we spent 546 hours for equipment and labor to process, haul, and compost the material collected. This facility is very popular with the residents, but it requires a great deal more department time than I ever imagined. We transported approximately 5,000 c.y. of compost material or approximately 420 loads. In 2003 our used oil/oil filters and anti-freeze recycling public drop off collected 4,410 gallons of used oil, which was recycled through OSI, and 520 gallons of anti-freeze was collected and stored. We crushed and recycled approximately 1,330 oil filters. Once processed, the oil filters then fit into three 55 gallon containers that were recycled through OSI. In addition, we recycled 455 lbs. of latex paint and 225 lbs. of oil based paint at the Tri-County Solid Waste facility in St. Cloud. BUILDING MAINTENANCE Gary Lore made the transition from Maintenance I, StreetlPark employee to Building Maintenance Supervisor. This change coincided with the construction of the new Public Safety Building and the remodeling of City Hall. The timing for this change was excellent, because it has given Gary the opportunity to work with the installers and programmers of the various building systems as they came online. The Building Maintenance Department will continue to develop as the city builds larger and more complex buildings. The building cleaning has been done by a local contract cleaner.
