[Mpls] chips and compost

[Annie Young]

Below are messages in response to the questions about compost and 
chips.  Just getting off the phone with my son he said his chips came from 
down at Minnehaha.  He said it was kind of the end of the piles and not the 
freshest, newest chips.  Forestry staff answers also.
Hope this answers folks questions.

Hello Commissioner Young -
Ive checked with Hennepin County to see if they offer compost but they do 
not.  They refer people to private facilities like the one on Malcolm 
St.  As for woodchips, we still have 16 neighborhood sites that are seen 
on the attached document.  These sites are listed on our website and the 
city website.  Most are empty right now because we have been planting 
trees and therefore not producing woodchips.  A supply currently exists at 
Columbia Park.  As we begin condemning diseased elms we will generating 
plenty of chips and the sites will be restocked.  The good news is that we 
have created quite a demand for woodchips which continues to save on the 
cost of paid recycling.  I hope this helps..............Ralph  Sievert
TEMPORARY REMINDER:
1. Don't feed the troll! Ignore obvious flame-bait.
2. If you don't like what's being discussed here, don't complain - change the subject 
(Mpls-specific, of course.)
