City of Roseville Neighborhood-Organized Trash Collection Guide The City of Roseville allows residents to use any garbage hauler service that is licensed within the City. However, this open system can result in several haulers servicing a neighborhood at the same time. Residents who live on the same stree�, cul-de-sac ar neighborhood have always had the option of using one hauler to collect their trash. This "self-organized" collection resulting from efforts by neighborhood residents, not the City, may result in reducing costs per resident. The City of Roseville requires haulers to collect trash on certain days of the week based on five zones. If a neighborhood does agree to organize, the group's collection day will remain the same, if all neighbors are in the same zone. A map showing the zones and which day your trash must be collected is available on the City's website (www.cityofroseville.com/collectionzones). We have put together recommendations a resident can use to self-organize trash collection in their neighborhood. . Please note that this is a guide, not a formal program of the City. City staff will not contact the haulers on behalf of a neighborhood nor enforce any negotiated agreement between a neighborhood and a hauler. 1. Start by contacting neighbars to see if they are interested in negotiating with a single hauler to collect trash in the neighborhood. Find out if they have any questions or concerns about self-organized trash collection. A Resident Garbage Survey is attached that includes sample questions. Please feel free to modify it to meet your neighborhood's needs. 2. Record the results of your survey. 3. Contact the licensed haulers (see attached list) to see if they are interested in providing trash service to your group. You can do this by phone, email, or standard mail. Use the attached draft proposal letter/email as a guide to get the information you want from the hauler. Be prepared to tell the hauler how many neighbors are interested in participating, describe what services your group wants (e.g., trash collection, yard waste pickup), and ask for quotes for volume-based pricing (e.g., cost for 20-, 30-, 60-, and 90-gallon) trash service, as well as costs for extra bag pickup, any fees (e.g., fuel surcharge, etc.), other services (e.g., yard waste pickup, etc.) and any other questions a group member may have asked. 4. If you decide to present a proposal to one or more haulers, draft a proposal letter or email and share it with each participating neighbor for feedback. Be sure to include the name of your neighborhood's representative in the letter in case the trash hauler has questions about the proposal. A Sample Proposal Letter/Email is included. 5. Mail or email a proposal letter to each garbage hauler requesting one. 6. Once you receive the proposal(s), or your deadline has passed, record a summary of the proposals in the attached Summary of Proposals Form. 7. Meet with neighbors to review the proposals. 8. Negotiate terms and services with garbage haulers if interested in their services. 9. Meet with neighbors to choose the winning hauler and determine a start date. Notify the hauler and set up service. 10. Work with neighbors as needed to have them cancel their current service (if they are switching haulers). 11. Please note that neighbors have a right to decline being a part of negotiated neighborhood pricing agreement.
