A RESOLUTION ENCOURAGING ANOKA COUNTY INTEGRATED WASTE
MANAGEMENT TO WORK WITH ALL OF ITS LOCAL GOVERNMENT UNITS TO
EXPLORE OPERATING A YEAR - ROUND, COUNTY -WIDE, CENTRALLY LOCATED
RECYCLING DROP -OFF
WHEREAS, Fridley staff received a letter with invitation from County Commissioner Jim
Kordiak to participate in a telephone survey to evaluate Anoka County Drop -off programs; and
WHEREAS, Fridley residents are committed to recycling items that are typically recycled at
"Recycling Drop -off Days" such as electronics, major appliances, tires, fluorescent bulbs, scrap
metal and vehicle and rechargeable batteries, as frequently as possible as proof by their
willingness to wait in long lines and pay fees for service; and
WHEREAS, the City of Fridley supports efficiency in service delivery and convenient recycling
services that promote waste reduction; and
WHEREAS, residents in Fridley have asked for a more convenient county -wide recycling drop -
off center like ones available to residents of Hennepin, Ramsey, and Dakota Counties; and
WHERAS, Fridley is open to considering consolidation of drop -off services in order to serve our
residents with less funding; and
WHEREAS, the Anoka County Integrated Waste Management Department provides a household
hazardous waste site and yard waste sites; and
WHEREAS, Anoka County Integrated Waste Management does not offer a year -round county-
wide recycling drop -off for household items that are typically recycled at "Recycling Drop -off
Days."
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of Fridley encourages
Anoka County Integrated Waste Management to work with all of its local government units to
explore the option operating a year- round, county -wide, centrally located recycling drop -off.
PASSED AND ADOPTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FRIDLEY THIS 15th
