Organics Recycling Checklist <br />^ Sign up by Calling Elk River Municipal Utilities at 763-441-2020. <br />We will have the cart, the kitchen bucket, and a roll of compostable bags delivered <br />to your home. <br />^ 2. After you sign up, ask ERMU to downsize your garbage cart. <br />This offsets the $4.00 per month organics recycling charge. You will find that you <br />don't need the large garbage cart because organic waste comprises about 35% of <br />the average household's waste. <br />^ 3. Begin organics recycling at your home. <br />• We'll give you a free kitchen bucket to use for your food waste. <br />• Use different bins to separate the other compostable waste (dryer lint, non- <br />recyclable paper) or bring the small organics cart into your home to use directly. <br />• Optional compostable bags are available from ERMU and the liquor stores. <br />^ 4. Complete and return Elk River's $40 recycling rebate form. <br />You can drop by City Hall, the Public Library, or ERMU to pick up the form or you can <br />download it at www.elkriverutilities.com/pdfs/rebates/2011_rebate_app.pdf. <br />5. Tell your friends and neighbors to give organics recycling a try! <br />Encourage your friends to do something good for the environment and save them- <br />selves some money in the process. <br />~hankyou! 2~ou are now fully participating in organics recycling. <br />Minnesota Pollution Elk River'` ~` <br />Control Agency Ewer Municipal Utilities <br />
