Re: Oak Park Heights Nuisance Ordinance 1109 — Compost Container
Dear Ms. Beintema or Current Resident:
This letter is in regard to the compost container now located at the western side of your property. The
contents of this container are emitting a strong stench, are surrounded by flies, and causing discomfort to
those properties adjacent to yours.
Enclosed herein for your review and use is Oak Park Heights City Ordinance 1109 — Nuisance
Ordinance. Section 1109.03 addresses public nuisances affecting health, safety, comfort or repose.
Your conditions created by the compost container on your property violate this ordinance section.
You are requested and required to remove the container or its contents from the property within the
timeline specified below, being 3:00 pm, Thursday, June 24, 2010. If you keep the container in the City
you are also required to have it cleaned out once emptied by such date and time.
You may place the contents of the entire container out with your Thursday trash collection in compost
bags regularly available at most hardware stores. Please note that there is no cost with the option from
the waste hauler. Another alternative for disposal is to take the container and its contents to Buberl
Recycling at 5750 Memorial Ave. N., just off of Hwy. 5 in Oak Park Heights. Their telephone number is
651 - 439 -8399 and they would likely charge $5.00 + / -.
Regardless of the method you choose, disposal of the compost container and /or its contents shall be
completed not later than 3pm Thursday, June 24, 2010. Your prompt attention is appreciated.
Please contact me if you have any additional questions.
Sincerely,
Jim Butler
Building Official
