Are you Kapp}' <br />with your garbage hauler? If you have comments concerning the <br />service that you have received from your hauler, the Environmental <br />Department is willing to listen! Call us at 763-63~-1000 <br />The Ciry is ofren asked why all of the recydables can't be put in one <br />container, which is called single stream rec}cling. Staff researched <br />the pros and cons of single stream rec}cling and determined that <br />the method the City has in place is the most cost effective and best <br />overall s}'stem for end users of the recycled materials. Single stream <br />recycling has been found to temporaril}' increase recycling rates, but <br />contamination of the recycled materials causes a greater percentage of <br />the rec}>clables to be rejected and ultimately land filled by the end user <br />markets. <br />Also, are }'ou aware that both haulers offer additional curbside recycling <br />for bigger items such as appliances and electronics for a fee? Simply <br />call their offices to hear the rates if you miss the Ciry Clean Up events. <br />You must register your item with your hauler before placing it at the <br />curb. Allied Waste may be reached at 763-784-2104 and Randy's <br />Em~ironmental Services may be reached at 763-972-333. <br />"There's nothing like it! <br />s- <br />.- - <br />:"-.r <br />__----~ . <br />,~ r~ <br />~~ ~' <br />... <br />yl t_ _. <br />SHOVJRODA4 <br />G <br />=1 <br />UIGI I AL SLAB VIE4NIIVG <br />1 Mj <br />rte: y.,_-~. <br />FABRICATION <br />Finally, a better, more convenient way <br />to buy custom stone countertops! <br />Y <br />Y%~;t ,r ^ <br />{ -.

In some areas <br />of the Ciry, sidewalk plowing has been eliminated in order for the plow <br />crew to concentrate on side~yalks along main arterial roads and routes <br />to schools. As the Ciry has grown and the budget has gotten tighter, it <br />has become necessary to eliminate some sidewalks from the plow route. <br />The routes eliminated did not meet the original intent of the sidewalk <br />plo~ying program. <br />Also, if you know of a neighbor who may not be able to get out and <br />shovel, please consider helping them out by volunteering a few <br />minutes of your time. It's great exercise as well as a good way to get <br />some fresh air. <br />Questions?
