As a result, future disposal options for Elk River may include the following: sign a five <br />year county contract at the RDF Plant with escalating fees, solicit disposal bids from area <br />landfills, or negotiate new residential refuse contracts with haulers paying for, and <br />selecting the disposal location. <br /> <br />RECYCLING <br /> <br />Two SCORE grant requests for the 1998 funding budget were submitted by the city. <br />Grant funding for 1998 is limited due to the county's implementation of a recycling <br />rebate program. Nevertheless, last month the Waste Management Committee tentatively <br />approved one application pending County Board approval. This request was for $1,526 <br />to build recycling corrals constructed out of recycled plastic timber. The corrals will <br />house the refuse/recycling carts in Orono Park. <br /> <br />Because the second application (compost/wood waste facility) was similar to other <br />community requests, the Waste Management Committee will research the possibility of <br />developing a centralized drop-off site in the county. <br /> <br />s:\b&z\stever\solwupda.doc <br /> <br /> <br />
