DESCRIPTION OF IOWA CITY'S
PROPOSED NEWSPRINT RECYCLING PROGRAM
COLLECTION
The Refuse Division of the Department of Public Works of the
City of Iowa City will undertake the collection of newsprint for
the purpose of recycling. Collection will occur from the curbside
only (regardless of the home's refuse collection point). Homeowners
will be expected to place newsprint only at the curbside bundled
and tied or in paper sacks on the scheduled Saturday morning of
collection. The City will be divided into four areas with a
collection being made from each area once during the first four
Saturdays of the month. No other refuse will be collected on
Saturdays.
Two packer trucks will be used for collection. The packer
;.rucks will be cleaned after Friday's refuse collection is complete.
DELIVERY
The collection crews will deliver the newsprint as it is
collected to a site designated by the successful bidder on the day
it is collected. This site is to be within the City of Iowa City's
city limits. The successful bidder must be prepared to receive all
newsprint collected on the collection day. The City anticipates
Saturday collection will require an eight hour work period. The
City estimates a maximum of fifteen (1S) tons of newsprint will
be collected per week once the program achieves a routine status.
I' Initial collection days may generate more than this amount due to
previous stockpiling by citizens.

successful bidder's site in a minimal amount of time. This
will facilitate the City's program by reducing handling time
and maximizing collection time.
PAYMENT
The City will require a receipt for all newsprint
received noting the tonnage of newsprint received on the day
of delivery. The City anticipates payment for the newsprint
r.
it delivers to be based on the, at mill delivered price which
the bidder receives. The bidder will receive the first ten
(10) dollars for every ton of newsprint processed. The City
will receive a percentage of the per ton price over the first
ten (10) dollars. The bidder should submit in his proposal
the percentage of the per ton p --ice over the first ten (10)
dollars per ton he will remit to the City.
Payment to the City will be required within 30 days
from the time of bidder's delivery to the mill. The successful
bidder shall maintain, and be prepared to present to the City
records pertaining to payments received from the mill for
newsprint processed.
TERMINATION
This contract will be binding on both the City and the
successful bidder for the first six months of the program.
At six months time or at any time thereafter, either party
may withdraw from this agreement providing written notice
is presented to the other party two (2) months in advance of
the date of withdrawal.

in Iowa City in the form of newspaper subscriptions. This is
