Attachment A City of Roseville Neighborhood Organized Trash Collection Guide The City of Roseville allows residents to use any garbage haulers service that is licensed within the City. However, this open system generates multiple garbage servicing each neighborhood at the same time. While not a formal program of the City nor administered by City staff, residents who live on the same street, cul-de-sac or neighborhood have always had an option of using the same hauler to collect their garbage. If done intentionally and as an organized group, this type of organized collection can have several benefits: • Increased traffic safety • Decreased noise levels • Decreased wear and tear on city streets • Decreased potential air pollution. By setting up your neighborhood with one hauler, there may be a possibility of a reduced monthly rate and additional services maybe available as a group. The City of Roseville requires haulers to collect trash on certain days of the week based on five zones. Therefore it is not possible to change your collection day as part of this process. A map showing the zones and which day your trash must be collected is available on the City's website. Below are suggested ideas and resource materials included in this packet that can be used as a tool for your neighborhood to set up organized collection services. Feel free to modify these documents. Please note, these are simply suggestions and this is not a formal program of the City nor will City staff contact the haulers on your behalf. 1. Start by surveying neighbors to see if they want to organize collection services with a single collection date and what factors of garbage collection are important to them. A Residents Garbage Survey form is provided for your convenience, please feel free to modify. 2. Record the results of your Residents Garbage Survey. 3. A list of City of Roseville Licensed Garbage Haulers is included in this packet. 4. Contact the licensed haulers to see if they are interested in receiving a proposal from your neighborhood for organized collection. A list of licensed garbage haulers is included. This list can change periodically. 5. Draft a proposal letter and share it with each participating neighbor to allow for their feedback. Be sure to include the name of your neighborhood's representative in the letter in case the garbage baffler has questions about the proposal letter. A Sample Proposal Letter is included. 6. Mail or email a finished proposal letter to each garbage baffler requesting one. 7. Once proposals are received back from the Garbage Hauler, record summary of the proposals in the attached Summary of Proposals Form. 8. Meet with neighbors to review vendor proposals. 9. Negotiate terms and services with garbage haulers if interested in their services. 10. Neighbors choose the wining vendor and notify vendor and set up service.
