If you live in Linden Hills and are not yet participating in the pilot project to collect source separated organic materials at your own curbside (what could be easier?), it's not too late to sign up!
Just in case you missed the update received in the mail from the city, here are the current statistics on participation in the pilot:
- 41% of eligible households are participating in the project (a total of 1,054 households)
- An average of 432 pounds per house per month are collected! (wow...that's a lot!)
- Weekly participation (of those with green organics carts) averages at 62%
ONLY 41% OF ELIGIBLE HOUSEHOLDS ARE PARTICIPATING THOUGH??? Seriously? I'm sure all you fabulous EcoParents in Linden Hills are participating, but let's each make an effort to find a couple of neighbors or friends who are not currently signed up and get them signed up!!
If just 30 of us each got 2 new households to sign-up, then we could help divert an additional 311,000 pounds of waste from the 'trash' stream and into fabulous compost!!To sign up, or for more information, contact Susan Young at the City of Minneapolis via
email or telephone(612.673.2917 or 311), or check out the webpage for
