PARTICIPATION Roseville is one of the few cities in the metropolitan area in which the actual city -specific participation trend information is gathered and made available. 93% participation is among the highest of any city in Ramsey County that Eureka has data for. re In previous years the study was conducted manually with staff going out to the routes before the truck collected and counted the set -outs, marking on a map which houses were setting out material and which were not. This was done in one 200-250 household sample section in each route with the same section being used each year. This method yields information to study the trends year to year in the number of people that set out in any given week and also the percentage of households that participate in the program at all. In early 2017 Eureka began using a new routing and customer service software called Fleetmind. With this new system we can actually use the truck doing the collection to count the set -out at each address to complete the study. This new method of collecting participation information should make the process of monitoring who is participating in the program easier and more accurate as a human being making marks on a map is less accurate than a computer counting tips.
