COMMENTS BY MR. BERNIE BEERMANN TO THE SAINT PAUL CITY COUNCIL
ON SOLID WASTE COLLECTION SERVICE.
Mandatory collectfon of solid waste in St. Paul as called for in the proposed Chapter
320 of the Legislative Code is not needed and is an extremely expensive addition to
the expenses of St. Paul's already over burdened residents.
Mandatory collection does not take into account the many dwellings with clisposal
devices. Just fn the last 12 months 390 incinerators are l�own to have been install-
ed in St. Paul homesm It fs significant that in the first four months of 1971, 233 were
reported installed. These ffgures represent substantial investments by our residents
to avoid having to depend on a weekly collection service. Also, these figures do not
include sink disposal units and compactors which are just as popular as incinerators.
A voluntary system usingthe private collectors will not cause this problem.
Mandatory collection for St. Paul will put an adclitional burden on the retired members
of our �ity and tend to push even more of these senior citizens out of their homes. 16%
of our population is over 62 years of age and 2/3 of them are women. Can this Council
in good conscience force these elderly residents to carry their refuse to the curb once
a week when many of them find weekly service in unnecessary.
We feel the free enterprise system would allow the degree of service these folks need
and can afford.
Mandatory pick-up is based on the premise that the people of St. Paul if not forced by
law to have their rubbish hauled away will let it pill up in their homes and yards.
However, 82% of all three plexes, duplex, and single family homes in St. Paul are
homesteaded. Certainly the pride of home ownership in this community proves tlus
premise to be false.
Homeownership is causing a real pinch in the lives of many of our cftizens today.
We should not add to this financial strain with unnecessary services.
In consideratfon of the homeowners, the elderly and those who have invested fn other
means of clisposal, we ask that tlus Council not force mandatory refuse collection
service on 60% of the dwellings in St. Paul. The free enterprise system is cheaper
and can continue to do the j ob for 100% of the dwellings in St. Paul.

The Sureau of Health endorses the City Council 's decision to institut� a combination
garbag� and rubbish pick up servicE. The Bureau has been of this oninion for manv .
years. A satisfactory progr«m requires that solid waste be handled in a systematic .
manner that is efficient, economical , noninjurious to health, and aesthetically
acceptable,
However,'� if there is no� a good system dev�loped and implemented many of our re�Fuse
problems existing today will continue to plague the city.
PROB�.EM BACKGRQUND
1 . The Housing Code Section conducted 9,642 inspections in 1970. Over 50% of
these calls were for exterior complaints. There were 4,916 c an�laint
inspections conducted. "
. �
In 1970 these complaints resulted in the following violations:
691 initial garbage violations, a 42p increase over 1969
1 ,264 initial rubbish violations, a 32q increase over 1969
227 initial rodent violations, a 19% increase over 1969
Garbage, rubbish and rodent violations accounted for 75% of all reported
exterior violations. The normal procedure for abating these types of
nuisances is to issue abatement orders to the responsible party to remove
nuisances with-in seven (7) darys. Nowever, 67� of the time the nuisances
have not been abated upon reinspection necessitating a third call . At
$19.00 a call this amounts to $57.00 eacfi to abate 67q of these nuisances.
There were 370 garbage and ru�bish vio]ations on vacant �property in 1970.
The Housing Code Section is presently staffed with nine (9) field oersonnel ;
seven (7) of whom are assigned to co►�olaint investigation. On "�tarch a, 1971
� we began to tabulate ali complaints by Garbage-Rubbish and �thers. At the
.
� • � • -2-
�
. . . _ _ _ . _ _.
end of 10 weeks we received i ,401 camplaints o� which 815 were Garbage or
Rubbish. This averages to i40 complaints a week pf which 81 are Garbage
and Rubbish, or 58q of the com�laints were either Garbage and Rubbish.
In 1970 it cost the city �74,917 to investigate garbage, rubbish and
rodent complaints, or 50% of the Housing Code Budget.
2. �,n enforced "No Burning �rdinance" will in our opinion increase s�are�
�-�
rubbish by approximately a0q. This situation cannot avoid precipitating
more complaints by the citizens.
3. If there is not mandatory periodic refuse pick up for all one-through-four
family dwellings; our experience indicates people will allow refuse tn
accumulate providing excellent rodent harborages and food sources. Since
1967 we have issued 570 violation tags, 319 were for refuse violat3ons, or
56� of all tags issued. ' '
4. If plastic bags alone are utilized to store refuse prior to nick up, either
on the boulevard or in the alley, the increasing problem of dogs runnjng at
large and rodents wi11 contribute to the disnersal of the waste materiat
throughout the generai area. Complaints on dogs running at. large have
increased 52� since 1962. - _ -
5. We anticipate an increase in the illegal dumping of refuse on vacant 1ots,
parks and roadways if there is not a system of mandatory periodic refuse
� pick up.
EVALUATION -
Every program ac��pted by a �gency should have some basic measurement of the effective-
ness of the program. Our present method of rubbish and garbage disposal is producing
an alarming yearly increase in complaints fCom citizens.
' . - � -3-
- � If we demonstrate a drastic reduction in the number of complaints and� a reduction - -
in actual numbers o}= recor�ed violations, we sha�l have one important evaivation
yardstick which would indicate the program i� functioning properly.
BUREAU RECOMP�ENDATIONS:
1 . Require a metal container of adequate siz� with a tight fitting cover so
as to be rodent and other animal proof. Plastic liners are acceptable.
2. Plastic bags as a sole container for rubbish and garbage should be
prohibited.
3. Mandatory periodic collection must be provided by the City of Saint Paul to
insure the proper removal of refuse and garbage throughout th� city. The
interval of collection may not nECessarily be the same for all dwelling
.
units.
• 4. Require that all refuse, such as cans, milk cartons, T. V. dinner plates,
be stored in a covered metal contain�r:
CONCLUSION
The Bureau of Health feels that the adoption of the uroposed So1id Waste Ordinances,
Chapter 319,320, and 321 will satisfactorily help to correct the present garbage and
rubbish problem.

and thrives wherever carelessness in food waste tiandling and refuse disposal
and storage is found. Because of th2 rat's 'r.abits and ciose associ�ation witl�
man, it exposes man to various disea;e agents which are transierred by direct

If a co�cnunity does not accept its responsibility for providing refuse collection

of his own arefuse, and usually this is done in an unsatisfactory manner, or to
contract with a private hauler to ma.ke the collection.

I am �ira. �lvin Weber' past preaident of the St. Paul i,eagu.e of
Women voters. I have aerved �,s t he representative �Y the League on
the Citizens Adaisory Committee on Solid }�Yaate Collection appointed
by Cor�nmisaioner Carlson�.
I have bee� authorized b.y the members at the League's annual meetin�
to� speak in support oY the proposed ordin�nces a.mending chaptera
318,, 320 and 321 of the St. Pa,ul Legisla.tiRe Code�
I�n September 1866, the St. Paul I�eague stated to the city council
that it supported user cha,rges for g�.rba�e t�nd rubbiah collection.
We stated further that "gaa�b�,ge a.nd rubbish collection on� a Yee
basie cannat be optional, but muat service every houaehold if the
public health is to be protected." 1Ye repeated t his statenent
in 1!iarch 1967« Today we a.ffirm it aga.in: thati the city un�st iurnieh
a t_otal progra.m o:f solid waste collection: to protect the health�
safety and R�slYare of all the city's residente. We ar�ue that a
tiotal program of aolid waste collection is as much a municip8l.
reeponsibility as i$ the provision of Yire and palice protection•
Another factor of importance to trhe League in its consideration oY
the proposed system ia the efficiency of the operation. We believe
that t he a.mendment to chapter 320 willfa3d eYficiency. a.11 aolid
waste will be picked ug without quibbling as t� whether a householder
ie eiititled ta have x number oY cAna removed. The collection tirill
be ma,de automatically — that is to say the city will have the reaponr

may well reduce the nwnbe�r of complainta �de to the Bureau aY
