Council Minutes of 10/16/90 Audience Participation (Continued) Mr. McKay respon ed t in our agreement with BFI, all of our solid waste becomes their property to be recycled. BFI is building a recycling facility at their dumping site in Russia Township. Because of the cost of recycling, the City is prevented fran having a separate recycling program. However, we will be involved in the County recycling program once those plans are finalized. Mrs. Bahas said that she had visited the landfill site in Russia Township and was impressed by the operation. She suggested that all citizens can do their part by using products made of recycled materials and making a special effort to dispose of waste properly. Mayor Boyle said that recycling is a major concern to the City and we are examinin~v various methods to implement a recycling program within the next two years. Mani.es from the income tax increase will be earmarked for recycling. Mr. McKay mentioned that the disposal of recyclables was a major problem because of the limited use people can get out of it. Mr. Bohlmann said that Ordinance 90-137, which was on second reading, is for refuse collection for 1991, 1992, and 1993. When the specifications go out for bids, we will have built in a full blown alternate for a recycling program. Recycling will be a very large dollar amount for the 1991 appropriations of the budget--the 1990 cost of approximately $740,000 for refuse pick up will most likely cost the City in excess of a million dollars for 1991.
