CITY OF SAINT PAUL '�`��.Q2� 4� 7 . y OFFICE OF THE MAYOR � �y. �� + t�1;Uiu � a �it I,p s' +� �Q 347 CITY HALL �... SAINT PAUL. MINNESOTA 55102 GEORGE LEkTI�fER (612) 298-4323 MAYOR February 15, 1984 Mr. Dave Locey MSD Recycle Hillsboro Office Bldg. 2 3 2 5 Rice St . No. Roseville , MN 55113 , Dear Mr. Locey: ' � Over the past ..few months you have raised several important pub�ic policy issues regarding recycling in Ramsey County. In fact, your re•cent letter to Ms. Colleen Halpine of the Ramsey County Public Health Department criticizing Ramsey � County.' s ,request for proposals for a recycling facility operator warrants a: thoughtful and cogent response. The public purpose served by the, support of recycling is the reduction of solid waste and escalating costs associated_ with sanitary landfills. Solid waste , is in fact , a widely recognized public policy issue with a long history of debate and activity. In general, the promotion of recycling has been a "hard sell" activity for a long time . In order to generate recycling we have had to rely on people ' s sense of duty and environmental concern to generate a source of recyclable materials. Only recently have the economics of aluminum redemption created sufficient incentive to stimulate recycling efforts on the part of for-profit or.ganizations such as yours. The monetary incentive is still not strong enaugh to stimulate wide spread recycling fQr additional commodities such as newspaper, glass and other metals. As you know, Recycling Unlimited was the only bidder to submit a proposal in response to Ramsey County' s RFP. The most compelling aspect of the Recycling Unlimited proposal is their plan for curb-side pick-up of a wide range of recyclable commodities from every residence in Ramsey County. The current leve 1 of processing capacity is not a major factor for concern; the generation of suffic �ent amounts of recyclables is the critical issue and the reason for Ramsey County' s estab- lishment of a facility. I feel -that the County RFP with its strong requirernents for curb-side pick-up has an excellent chance to .become self-sufficient within the next two to three years. ��,.. , �r�-3a� . Dave Locey page 2 February 15, 1984 But for curb-side pick-up to be self-supporting, some commodity processing will have to be done . I do not feel that curb-side pick-up can be separated from processing since minimal processing adds significantly to the value of the materials collected. Therefore, I agree with your observations that waste assurance is the critical aspect in the financial feasibility for the project. As you have indicated, "any recycler will want to maintain maximum control (over materials) so he or she obtains the highe st possible prices for materials collected. " As a result your progosal .for the establishment of a cooperative or joint processing center is probiematic since those involved in collection would be reluctant to turn over their commodities � � to someone else � for proc�ssing because it would reduce the amourit of money they could receive. The key to effective re- � cycling and the reduction of solid waste is convenience. That is.,. convenience for the individual who wants to recycle. The monetary incentives are not great enough for recycling to be a self-generating grocess. Curb-side pick-up is the most promising means to cre ating the convenience necessary to produce large- . scale participation in recycling. I do not see MSD Recycle and Recycling Unlimited as direct comp�titors since on1� 10$ of the materials processed at your _ facility come from Ramsey County. This does not mean that we are not interested in your expansion needs and plans. We are anxious to work with you to keep MSD in the city. As you may know, there is a wide range of business assistance programs and financing options available through the City to profit- making organizations. In order to avail yourself of all the expertise of the City, I urge you to contact Mr . A1 Emory, the Deguty Director of Business Revitalizatican at 292-1577 . For the reasons stated above , I intend to support the Ramsey County selection process for a county recycling facility. As you know� last September I recommended City Council approval of the filing of an application to the Minnesota Waste Management Board in support of Recycling Unlimited. . That resolution, unan- , imously passed by the City Council, also contained an authoriza- tion to expend up to $150 ,000 in "municipally-generated support" for Recycling Unlimited. Accordingly, I intend to recommend that the County select Recycling Unlimited as the operator, because I am convinced that Recycling Unlimited will generate the maximum amount of recyclable tonage from Ramsey County, more than any other operator including MSD Recycle . In the past you have indicate d to staff that you would like to discuss the whole issue with representatives from the City, County and other recyclers. I am open to meeting with you and/or any other interested parties gn t�s matter in order r to �xplain Qur rationale . � also hope t t we can assist you • L F d'�/ "3� .
