3.13. SR 01-09-2006
Item 3.13.*
MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Rebecca Haug, Environmental Administrator
DATE: January 9,2006
SUBJECT: Recycling Rebate Information
Since 2003, the City of Elk River has issued Recycling Rebates to its residents to encourage
recycling. In 2003, the rebate was in the amount of $15 and the city had 120 residents
participate. In 2004, the rebate was still at $15 but the number of participants increased to
232. In 2005 the amount was increased to $25 and participation more than doubled to 494
residents.
Since the City has organized collection, it receives recycling numbers from the haulers. With
the recycling rebate, the amount of materials recycled has increased over the past three years.
I have attached a spreadsheet breaking down the numbers and totaling them for each year.
The months of November and December for 2005 have not been submitted but looking at
the numbers through October, they will be higher.
There was discussion that Sherburne County may start offering a Recycling Rebate since
they passed an ordinance mandating curbside recycling. However, the Sherburne County
Waste Management Advisory Committee, who recommends to the County Board how the
SCORE money from the County is spent, would rather see the money used on a different
type of recycling effort.
Recommendation
Staff is recommending that City continue offering the Recycling Rebate at the amount of
$25. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at (763) 635-1068.
