This is a very successful program that residents look forward <br />to participating in each year. This year's Spring events experienced a significant increase in participation <br />from Spring 2006. <br /> <br />Staff expects that the reduced prices (as well as the beautiful weather on Saturday) kept participation <br />brisk. As a result, staff is recommending that prices be maintained at the spring rates for the Fall Clean- <br />Up Week (October 15'" -19'h) to be able to deliver the same level of service to the residents. <br /> <br />Background/Discussion <br />The following is a break down of the financials and materials collected from the City's Spring Clean-Up <br />day held on the last Saturday in April (April 28'h) at the Public Works Department and Clean-Up Week <br />(April 23 - 27) at the Elk River Landfill. These events served 395 households (105 during the week and <br />290 on Saturday). <br /> <br />Waste Material <br />Air Conditioners <br />Appliances <br />Car Batteries <br />Computers <br />Computer Systems <br />Fluorescent bulbs <br />Furnirure (includes mattresses and box springs) <br />Scrap Metal (89 "loads".. .residents who delivered scrap) <br />Passenger tires <br />Semi tires <br />Tractor tires <br /> <br />Total <br />6 <br />199 <br />50 <br />103 <br />55 <br />1027 <br />205 <br />6.78 tons <br />223 <br />3 <br />8 <br /> <br />C\Documents lmd Settings\jmiller\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\OLK3E\Action RcqucRted - spring 2007 clean up totals (2).doc <br />
