4:11 Lake State Recycling, Inc . 12698 Industrial Blvd. Suite# B • Elk River, MN 55330 • 763-241-4000 January 25, zoi6 Lake State Recycling Inc. narrative/Classification, Recycling Process Center w/outdoor storage Lake State Recycling Inc. has been operating out of the current address since April i", 2011 under its current owners, Harley Hanson and Chris Baumgardt. We started in the Elk River area occupying a modest 16,000 sq.ft. facility. Through the past couple of years we have developed excellent relationships in the local community creating the need to expand. We have discovered a building located less than a 1/4 mile from our current facility. The location of the move minimizes the moving cost to us and also the loss of our current customer base. What we do at Lake State is provide an outlet for Ferrous and Non Ferrous metals. We also recycle all forms of electronics. In the brief time we have been working in Elk River we have gone from 3 to 9 full time employees. During peak times of the year we will work with temp services and hire 4-6 more temp positions. On average we recycle over 1,440 tons of ferrous metals annually. Also,over 3,000 tons of Non-ferrous,Aluminum, Copper and Stainless Steel will be processed annually. Our Electronics division will process over 1500 tons of e-waste. All e- waste is sorted and de manufactured in order to maximize profits. Ferrous metals are either dropped off by the customer or picked up with our trucks. From there they are brought into our facility for sorting and identification. We can either generate a check for payment on the spot or pay at whatever interval the customer desires. We handle the nonferrous metals the same way. Our system is a technologically advanced software system designed for our industry. It will take the customer's I.D.and picture. It also saves all transactions along with pictures of every commodity with a date and time stamp. For the electronics, we collect at our door or customer site. In this process there are some fees we charge in order to process the electronics efficiently. We are fully licensed and bonded. We have been a registered Collector and Recycler with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency since we established the company in 2011. In the new location we will be conducting business from 8 am to 5 pm Monday through Friday. We very seldom work weekends. From time to time we work no later than 10 pm. There are currently 32 parking spaces at the new facility which is more than ample. Currently our outside storage consists of 2-80 yard dumpsters,3 40-53' dry vans and an occasional 3o yard roll off. I have attached pictures with the application for everyone to see what is being explained. We will also be storing gas dispensers outside. I have also labeled the location on the site plan. Again there is a picture attached.
