Abstract
This project was completed as part of the 2017-2018 Resilient Communities Project (rcp.umn.edu) partnership with the City of Ramsey. The state of Minnesota is requiring municipalities to have a plan to divert 75% of waste from landfills by the year 2020. Many municipalities, including the City of Ramsey, are looking to organics recycling as a means to reach this goal. Students in PA 5712: Science to Action, taught by Steve Kelley, examined how organics recycling programs have been implemented in other cities. The students interviewed waste hauling companies, municipalities, and Ramsey residents to better understand how these programs work, and the willingness of Ramsey residents to participate in them. The group outlined business models the City of Ramsey could adopt that would facilitate organics recycling programs through the public, private, or non-profit sectors. The students’ final report and survey results are available.
