Recycling • <br /> In April each year, the Street/Park Department hosts a City Clean-up Day that has been very <br /> successful. This effort is coordinated by Building and Zoning Department and is staffed by <br /> city workers and volunteers. Contractors collect and recycle appliances and tires. Furniture <br /> that is serviceable is collected by Goodwill and the unserviceable furniture is collected by local <br /> trash haulers and taken to the RDF Plant. City workers collect and process the scrap metal <br /> and batteries before selling them to local scrap metal dealers. <br /> Our largest commitment to recycling is the brush and lawn waste drop off facility. In 2000, <br /> we spent 568 hours for equipment and labor to process, haul and compost the material <br /> collected. This facility is very popular with the residents, but it requires a great deal more <br /> department time than I ever imagined. We transported about 2000 c.y. of compost material or <br /> an average of one tandem load per day for a seven month season. <br /> In 2000,with the help of SCORE funds,we opened our oil/oil filters and anti-freeze recycling <br /> public drop off. In addition with our city recycling efforts,we collected 1520 gallons of used <br /> oil was recycled through OSI and 90 gallons of anti-freeze was collected and just stored. We <br /> recycled approximately 250 oil filters into 30 gallons of filter media and about 50 pounds of <br /> scrap metal. <br /> • <br /> • <br />
