Lengthy discussion was held on the Contract with Waste
Management of McHenry County for a Refuse and Recyclable Material
Contract. Minor changes were made on Pages 1, 2, 3, 6, 8 and 10.
It was emphasized that yard waste and leaf pickup would be a
separate matter to be handled at another time and was not included in
this contract. Until July 1, 1990, yard waste would be picked up by
Scolaro on a pay -per -bag basis. After July 1, 1990, when the State
mandated that no yard waste would be allowed in landfills, different
arrangements would have to be made by the City for disposal of any yard
waste.

enter into an agreement for "refuse, compostable yard material and
recyclable material collection and disposal" with Waste Management of
McHenry County as amended.

It was the Mayor's suggestion that the City provide a recyclable
bin through the issuance of occupancy permits to new residents. He also
suggested establishing an ordinance stating the recyclable bins are the
property of the City and if people should move, the containers should
stay with the house. He also suggested that extra recycling containers
should be made available for purchase at the City's cost if people want
additional containers. Since Tom Scolaro of Waste Management reported
that he had agreed to give "per bag service" to three and four plex
apartment buildings in the City, Fred Batt was authorized to purchase
another 500 containers to take care of multi -family and new residents who
will need bins in the future.
