The Morris Leatherman Company <br />June 2020 <br />Neighborhoods and Businesses: <br />Ninety-five percent rate the general appearance of the community as either "excellent" or <br />"good"; six percent are more critical in their evaluations. "Messy yards" is the chief complaint <br />of the small number posting anegative judgment. Over the past two years, 51%think the <br />appearance of Roseville `remained about the same," while 32% see an "improvement," and <br />sixteen percent, a "decline," a ten percent increase from the 2018 study. Code enforcement is <br />also highly rated: 87% award this service either an "excellent" or "good" rating; nine percent are <br />more critical, focusing on "messy yards" and "rundown homes." Only 44% are aware Roseville <br />offers a housing program for residential home improvements and foreclosure protection. <br />Garbage Collection: <br />By a narrow 26%-33% margin, residents oppose the City of Roseville changing from the current <br />system, in which residents may choose from several different haulers, to a system where the City <br />manages trash collection; seven percent strongly favor this change, while 11% strongly oppose <br />it. A very large 42% are unsure, an increase of 20% during the past two years. <br />Supporters of the change base their decision primarily on "less truck traffic" and "lower cost <br />with one hauler." Opponents cite "want to choose my own hauler," "like current hauler," and <br />"competition creates lower cost." <br />Curbside Recycling: <br />Seventy-seven percent participate in the curbside recycling program by separating recyclable <br />items from the rest of their garbage. The 23% who do not participate indicate they `rent," "don't <br />have enough waste," and "they have no interest." Most program participants, 82%, put their <br />recyclables out for collection every two weeks; fifteen percent do so monthly. By a 37%-48% <br />split, participants oppose a change to a weekly collection schedule for recyclables. <br />By a 39%-33% margin, residents narrowly oppose a curbside collection program for <br />compostable waste for an additional fee. The main reasons for opposition are the "additional <br />cost," "smell," and "attracts wildlife," while the main reason for support is "general <br />environmental benefits." If a curbside collection program for compostable waste were available, <br />33%, unchanged from two years ago, of the households surveyed would be at least "somewhat <br />likely" to participate; but, using standard market projection techniques, only 11% would <br />participate in the new program. <br />PI <br />
