During 2001 the County engaged in an effort to markedly increase participation at HHW sites and so began a direct mail promotional campaign, targeting especially those communities served by seasonal collection sites. As can be seen in the following table, this effort was very successful, with 1,993 households visiting the site during 2001, a rate more than double that of previous years.

In addition to the site monitoring and inspection program described above, the Environmental Health Section has developed a year-round site observation program that utilizes personnel from the County Public Works Department, P~lic Health Department, and the Woodview detention facility on Kent St. Staff from Public Works aniWoodview routinely drive by the site as part of their regular duties, and have been asked to notify ilie Environmental Health Section if site maintenance is needed. Staff from the Environmental Health Section also periodically drive by the site. Also, gates at the site entrance and exit drives are locked year-round to discourage unauthorized access. Permit condition #5: Site signage is approved subject to staff approval with notations of a hot line for citizen call-ins when something unusual occurs. Signs that include the telephone number for the Environmental Health Section are posted year-round on the entrance and exit gates at the site. Following the last day of collection at the site in June of2001, a "Site Closed" sign was also posted near the site entrance gate for display during the month of July. On the signpost was a brochure dispenser with flyers promoting the 2001 HHW operating schedule. As stated previously, Ramsey County offers a year-round HHW collection site located about two miles from the Roseville site, at 5 Empire Drive (between Rice and Jackson Streets, just north of the State Capitol) in Saint Paul.
