Several years ago the City of Pequot Lakes made a decision to utilize a"drop off' <br /> program based available services at the time and their respective costs. Today there are <br /> other options such as our curbside recycling program that provide a much higher level of <br /> service and accountability than "drop-off'programs. <br /> I am not asking the City to eliminate or even change the current system on how residents <br /> will be affected. Rather, I would like to see a competitive environment for available <br /> Score funds by reimbursing competing companies based on the amount of material <br /> collected rather than a flat fee to encourage more participation and services. Each <br /> company would be required to submit"Score Reports" verifying the material collected <br /> before getting reimbursed as a percentage of material collected. The City may need to <br /> develop standards for these programs or require prior City approval of new programs. <br /> If this idea makes some sense to you, I would be happy to address the benefits of curbside <br /> recycling to your community and answer any questions you may have. I will continue to <br /> send these reports monthly and hope to hear back from you soon. If you would like any <br /> assistance or input feel free to call me. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Eric T oge <br /> Owner-Waste Partners, Inc. <br />
