Leaf-Pickup and Composting <br />The City of Roseville provides an annual curbside leaf collection <br />program. Approximately 10,000 cubic yards af leaves are placed <br />in the leaf composting area each fa��. To date a general <br />baiance has been reach�d whereby eighteen months later, this <br />material has been decomposed into a compost utilized by citizens, <br />the City, County, or others. <br />According to the City Public Works Director, if the amount of <br />leaves deposited at the Dale Street site does not increase or <br />additional materials such as grass clippings are not added, then <br />there is reason ta b�lieve that the site will never be filled. <br />Yard Wastes <br />For the most part, residents are plastic bagging grass clippings <br />and bundling brush for collection hy their refuse hauler. Very <br />few residents practice composting/mulching grass clippings, or <br />letting them dry out on the lawn. <br />Clean Sweep Day <br />Roseville offers residents an annual opportunity to dispase of <br />trash and unwanted articles. For a minor fee, residents bring <br />material �o a central site and place it in dumpsters. Five <br />hundred five vehicles brought materials to the Clean Sweep Day zn <br />1985. Tris year an additional site for the disposal of tree <br />branches was added to Clean Sweep Day. <br />Household Hazardous Waste <br />Th�re is no angoing program tor the disposal of ha�sehold <br />hazardous waste in Roseville. However in May, 1986 the City, �n <br />cooperation with the MPCA an an experimental basis, studied the <br />prablem of hazardous waste generated in residential areas. For <br />this pragram the MPCA obtained a hazardous waste generator permit <br />and arranged for the disposal of the waste. Two different sites <br />were provided for the free disposa� of hazardaus material which <br />resulted in the eollectian of approximately two tons of matezial <br />from 441 participants. �n additian, 550 gallons of used motor <br />oil and I20 gal�ons of usable paint were recycled. � <br />Househoid Special Wastes <br />Neither the Counci�'s Guide/Policy Plan nor Ramsey County's <br />Master P1an address those nonhazardous residential wastes which a <br />refuse hauler will not collect because they may be injurious to <br />the compactQr truck equ�pment or ar too heavy or bulky for a <br />person to load on to the �ruck. There is no reason ta assume <br />that this po�icy will change when the RDF facility becomes <br />operational next year. <br />These was�es can be perceived as household special wastes and, <br />for example, inc�ude such items as tires, iarge tree <br />limbs/trunks, furniture, appliances, scap metal, remodeling <br />debris, hotwater heaters, lawn mowers, etc. <br />C <br />
