From: Tim Pratt, HRG Recycling Manager
Date: April 26, 2016
Re: Curbside Cleanup
We recently completed another successful Curbside Cleanup. This year the cleanup occurred between
April 4 and April 16. Crystal and New Hope were divided into six zones each with its own two-day period
for collection.
Approximately 67% of households put material at the curb to be collected. The amount of material
collected rose dramatically compared to the past two collections in 2011 and 2014.

Spring versus Fall
I was made aware that there were comments posted on NextDoor regarding the cleanup being held in
the spring rather than the fall. At the August 2015 meeting, the HRG board expressed its desire to hold
the cleanup in the fall. In the specifications for the bids we indicated that fall dates would be preferred:
(d) Dates of Collection: The preferred collection days are any or all of the following:
Saturday, September 17th, September 24th, and October 1st. Alternative collection days may be
considered as agreeable with the HRG.
However, both companies that bid on the cleanup indicated they could only perform the service if they
did it in the spring. Basically what they planned to do was bring in early the temporary workers who
drive their yard waste trucks. Yard waste service doesn’t begin until sometime in April; and it runs into
November. The haulers indicated that it would be too late in the year to conduct a cleanup after the
yard waste season ends. Both haulers also indicated that they would only be able to conduct the
cleanup if they did it during the week rather than on the weekends.
We anticipate holding the next curbside cleanup in 2018. However, there are outside factors that may
determine whether or not we’ll be able to find a contractor to perform the service.
Rear-loading Trucks
It requires using rear-loading trucks. To gather material that is too large to fit into a residential garbage
cart requires using rear-loading trucks which have a much greater opening. Haulers are switching their
fleets to newer automated side-loading trucks. Using automated trucks saves haulers on fuel and labor
related costs. So as older rear-loading trucks wear out, they are being replaced by side-loading trucks.
Multiple haulers, including two that conducted the cleanups in the past, declined to bid on the cleanup
because they did not have a sufficient number of rear-loading trucks to be able to perform the service.
Currently there are only two haulers with a sufficient number of rear-loading trucks to be able to
perform the cleanup. But there is no guarantee that they will continue having those trucks in the future.
Processing Statute
The State may vigorously enforce the processing statute. According to state statute no waste is
supposed to go to a landfill without first being processed to remove recyclables and/or to create fuel. In
the past that statute has not been enforced by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. However, the
MPCA has given notice that it intends to have more rigorous enforcement. That means they would
require cities to have as part of garbage contracts a stipulation that the waste collected go to a
processing facility. The vendor used in 2016 took all the material collected for processing.
The other vendor that bid on the contract owns a landfill. The tip fee at the Brooklyn Park Transfer
Facility is $55 per ton. The rate for landfill disposal is around $45 per ton. That company has indicated
that it would only be able to conduct the cleanup if it could take the material to its landfill rather than to
a processing facility.
