Action Requested: Discuss the date for a"Heavy Metal Day"to be held this spring.
Deadline/Timeline: A date needs to be reserved with SRC as soon as possible.
Background: • For many years,the Township/City has sponsored a"Heavy Metal
Day" for residents to drop off refuse not taken by their regular
trash hauler, such as scrap metal, furniture, appliances, tires, etc.
These events were typically held in the spring and fall. In 2008
and 2009, only a spring event was held.
• The purpose of sponsoring a clean-up day is to allow residents a
convenient way to dispose of refuse that has the potential to be
stored on their property or may be illegally discarded within the
city limits.
• Staff and SRC, Inc. have preliminarily identified May 1, 2010 as a
possible date for a spring event.
• Publicity will include advertisement in local papers and in the City
newsletter that will be mailed in early April.
Recommendation: Council should confirm the date of May 1, 2010 for"Heavy Metal
Day."
