Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council Tuesday, February 21, 2012 Page 16 Mr. Marquardt stated, there was also the topic of the complaints that we have had about people not being able to keep the stuff in their garage with the current system and now you are putting two bins that size that people are not going to be able to keep in their garage because they are big. Mr. Delguyd asked, do we need to revisit the ordinance about keeping bins in their garage? Mr. Marquardt replied, then you are going to have them standing outside which people complain about that too. Council President Buckholtz asked, aze people required to do this? Mr. Metzung replied, people are not required to do this. I believe you are required in Cleveland to recycle, but not here. Council President Buckholtz asked, you can put all your stuff in a 96 gallon if you want to wheel it out, you just can't put solid waste in the 64 gallon? You could either park it around back behind your house or you could say to the Service Department, I don't want it. Is that correct? Mr. Metzung replied, conect. Mr. Delguyd asked, there is an option for the 3 year, 2 year renewal? Mr: Metzung replied, with the base bid. With the 18 gallon we are doing toda.y. We do not have that option with the 64. Council President Buckholtz asked, it's not a new company, it's a new name, right? Mr. Metzung replied, correct. Mr. Marrie stated, there will be some folks without room in their garage. But I think basically people will recycle more and when recycling more I think we have to keep in mind also we cut down the waste that's going to the landfills. I tlunk there's benefits on both sides. I don't know of anything that will please everybody, but I think we have to do probably what is best for most folks. As I said a moment ago, I think I will probably have a hard ti.me with room for this, but I think it's the way to go for the Village. Dr. Parker stated, with the family of 5 that I have, I think the size is overkill personally. Maybe if you had a big party, but I think the size is overkill. The option of having a contract where you're not extending yourself out too long has served us well already. As far as the cost of recycling, doesn't it actually cost us money to recycle? Aren't we actually paying for recycling? Mr. Metzung replied, there's a charge for picking it up and processing and recycling. If you look at the other bid options that we got into when we did the bidding, we also did one where we separated out the cost and we asked how much would it cost you to come in to pick up the material and how much to process it. When you look at those bids we have, let's say it's $9.00
