Fifty more non-Sartell residents will be able to use the Sartell Compost Site for a fee during the rest of 2013.
A couple of years ago, there were requests from residents who do not live within the Sartell city boundary lines to use the compost site along CR 4. The council decided to allow up to 200 non-resident permits for that purpose either from neighboring cities or from people who live in LeSauk Township..
So far this year, that number was reached, and 200 permits were issued. The Sartell Public Works staff agreed raising the number of permits issued would be no problem so the city administrator suggested the limit for this year be 250 non-resident permits. The council agreed.
Later, the council can decide whether to have a new limit for 2014 or to expand the limit even further.
City residents pay $31 per year for a car-sticker compost-site permit. Non-city residents pay $61 for a permit. The permits can be purchased at Sartell City Hall or online at www.sartellmn.com.
