Information
Title:
Staff Updates
Purpose/Background:
Spring Recycling Event
The Spring Recycling Day event was held on Saturday, May 4 at our Public Works campus. Approximately 400 vehicles came through during the four (4) hour event. Attached to this case is a breakdown of materials collected and associated tonnage.
Arbor Day Planting
In place of a regular Environmental Policy Board (EPB) meeting on May 20, available EPB members (Chair Fetterley, Board Members Salami and Hagerty, and Council Liaison Woestehoff) planted two (2) catalpa trees along Ramsey Parkway, on the north side of The Draw. Thank you to those that were able to assist with getting these trees in the ground!
Curbside Recycling Event
The City of Ramsey is coordinating a curbside recycling event for the first two full weeks of August (August 5-16). Information on this recycling opportunity will be included in the July/August Ramsey Resident and likely in the next issue of the Ramsey Recycler newsletter as well. Ramsey implemented this recycling opportunity in 2023, and it seemed to be a success, with 95 households that utilized the program. This opportunity was implemented to assist people that do not have an easy means of transporting larger, bulky items to the standard spring and fall recycling events.
