<br /> <br />TO: Mayor and City Council <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />FROM: Nicki Blake-Bradley, Environmental Technician <br /> <br />DATE: September 5, 2006 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Spring 2006 Clean-Up Day and Week Update <br /> <br />The following is a break down of the fmancials and materials collected from the City's <br />Spring Clean-Up day at the Public Works Department and Clean-Up Week at the Elk River <br />Landfill. These events served 239 households (70 during the week and 169 on Saturday). <br /> <br />Revenue Generated <br />Clean-Up Day &Week $4,833.00 <br /> <br />ECM Publishers <br />(Advertising) <br /> <br />Waste Material <br />MSW <br />Furniture <br />Computers (towers, monitors or printers) <br />Computer system <br />Tires <br />Semi Tires <br />Tractor tires <br />Appliances <br />Air conditioners <br />Electronics <br />Scrap metal <br />Fluorescent bulbs <br /> <br />Expenses <br />$ 7,659.39 <br /> <br />$1,194.75 <br /> <br />Total <br />8.25 tons <br />140 units <br />34 units <br />24 units <br />88 units <br />o units <br />3 units <br />110 units <br />11 units <br />98 units <br />6.6 tons <br />631 bulbs <br /> <br />Recommendation <br />Staff is requesting City Council to continue funding clean up weeks in the Spring and Fall <br />along with the Clean-Up Day the end of April. This is a very successful program that <br />residents look forward to participating in each year. However, the Spring events experienced <br />a significant reduction in participation from previous years. <br /> <br />Staff expects that the increase in prices (as well as the cold, rainy day on Saturday) kept <br />participation low. As a result, staff is recommending that prices be lowered to 2005 rates for <br />the Fall Clean-Up Week (October 16 - 20) to be able to determine where increases are <br />necessary. <br />
