8. Amendment to city code requiring recyclables to be take to Recycling Centers not landfills CITY OF CHANHASSEN 690 COULTER DRIVE • P.O. BOX 147• CHANHASSEN, MINNESOTA 55317 ' (612) 937-1900 • FAX (612) 937-5739 ' MEMORANDUM TO: Don Ashworth, City Manager ' FROM: Jo Ann Olsen, Senior Planner ' DATE: March 21, 1990 SUBJ: Ordinance Amending Chapter 16 of City Code Concerning ' Solid Waste - First and Second Reading On December 4, 1989, the City Council adopted an amendment to Chapter 16 of the Chanhassen City Code concerning Solid Waste. The ' amendment required all licensed haulers in Chanhassen to provide curbside collection of recyclables. Upon further review of the ordinance, staff found that there was no wording requiring the ' recyclables to be recycled and that they could not be disposed of at a landfill or incinerated. The whole purpose of the ordinance is to promote recycling and therefore, staff is recommending the following amendment which would insure that all recyclables ' collected in Chanhassen have to be recycled. Any licensed hauler within Chanhassen who collects recyclables and then landfills them could lose their license in Chanhassen. ' RECOMMENDATION ' Staff is recommending the following amendment to Section 16-32 of the Chanhassen City Code by adding subparagraph (g) and (h) to read as follows: ' (g) Recyclables may not be disposed of at a landfill or incinerated. All recyclables must be recycled. ' (h) Mixed municipal solid wastes may only be disposed at a designated sanitary landfill or other facility authorized by Carver County. ' ATTACHMENTS 1. Ordinance Amendment. Manager's Comments: Staff is looking to get this ordinance on the books before April 1, 1990. Accordingly, we are recommending that Page 2 the City Council adopt first and second reading of this ordinance. Under Council Procedures this will require a 4/5ths vote. I am asking Roger Knutson to strengthen the revocation process section. ' A modified ordinance may be distributed to the City Council on Monday evening. 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 i 1 i 1 1 1 1 1 CITY OF CHANHASSEN .
