PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE:

A recycling collection update was given by Recycle North Dakota’s Ralph Freibel. He said the recycling center is now located at the former Coke Plant in Southeast Jamestown. He said the equipment to separate the recyclables is still in the installation process.  He said parking will be adjusted at the east side of the building as time goes on.

Then, a Garbage collection update was given by sanitation foreman Roger Mayhew.

He presented a map out-ling alleys where collection is problematic concerning safety issues with the new larger automated garbage trucks.  He said recycling has also been notified of the map. Council Member Brubakken said the effected property owners will be notified of a meeting with garbage and recycling officials.

 

With implementing the optional walk up garbage pick up, the cost is $20 per month, collected at curb side. The service is geared for residents not able to move their garbage containers to the street or alley.  Recycling issues with walk up are yet to be determined.
