Among the many topics of discussion was the mandate by the State as to what has to be done after July 1, 1990 with yard waste. Garden City submitted a proposal regarding the collection of yard waste; however, there are quite a few items to be considered and agreed upon before a recommendation can be inade. Garden City is gathering information for the Committee. When that information is received another meeting will be scheduled. At the January 10th ineeting the Recycling Committee agreed to two items which require the concurrence of the Board: - 2 - 1-23-90 1. Garden City would like to pick up "white goods" , that is appliances being set out by residents, since Garden City has found a market for those goods. Even though there may not be any monies left over for the Village to recoup, the Committee recommends the program because there would be that much less waste delivered to the land fill . The Director of Public Works has agreed that Garden City can store the goods, in a dumpster, on Village property until such time as Garden City has sufficient goods to take to the buyer. 2. Garden City proposed that the recycling program have a "paper account" of the avoidance cost which is the landfill expense avoided by Garden City by collecting and recycling more volume of recyclable than was originally estimated. This account would show the pluses and minuses without any actual exchanging of funds. The Recycling Committee recommends that the Village develop a "paper account" which would show the accounts receivable and payouts regarding the recycling funds that come to and are spent by the Village. The total avoidance cost fund as of November 30, 1989 was $11,559, and any deficits in the recycling receipts will be paid from that account. It was moved by Trustee Bosslet and seconded by Trustee Gallitano that the Board grant the request from Garden City toethem to ick u "white goods" and store them in a dumpster on Virmit age property location to be determined by the Director of Public Works) .
