CONCLUSION 2.2 Household special wastes include items not adequately addressed in the Council's Guide/Policy Plan or in the County's Master Plan. RECOMMENDATZON 2.2a Roseville should encourage the Metropolitan Council and Ramsey County ta implemen� a convenient and practical proce- dure for the disposal af household special wastes which a refuse hauler cannot accept. Such wastes include tires, remodeling debris, old hot water heaters, old lawn mowers, furniture, etc. 2.2b Roseville should continue to collect such household special wastes, expanded to include tires, at the annual Clean Sweep Day. CONCLUSION: RESIDENTIAL WASTE ABATEMENT 3. Compostable yard wastes (grass clippings and leaves) cons�i- tute a hzgh percentage of residential generated wastes and are not we�l suited to the RDF process, nor do they make a suitable refuse dezived fuel. When composted, these materials yield a good soil amendment. RECOMMENDATIONS 3a. Roseville should consider expanding its' leaf collection program from once a year to twice a year; e.g. Spring as well as Fall. 3b. Roseville should encourage its residents ta prac�ice back- yard composting techniques. 3c. Roseville should explQre the implementation of a regularly scheduled curbside collection of residential grass clippings for deiivery to an existing Ramsey County compost site or a site to be established by the Metropo�itan Council. . 3d. Rosevi�le shauld encourage residents to minimize the use of fertilizers in order to reduce the amount of grass clippings generated. 3e. Roseville should encourage residents to mow more often, thereby producing small�r clippings which can be 1ef� on the lawn. CONCLUSION 3.1 Not all residential yard wastes such as brush, branches, and oth�r large, unmanageable woody trimmings decompose under normal composting techniques. 33
