We are developing this program based on the prior success of our previous offering of public <br />MRF tours (suspended due to the pandemic) and other educational presentations we have offered <br />over the years. <br />What will be the cost impact of this added -value option: <br />We can offer up to four virtual tours per year that are dedicated to Roseville residents only at no <br />additional cost to the city. We could offer these to specific community groups within the city of <br />Roseville, such as clubs, scout troops, or faith communities, or they could be promoted for any <br />Roseville resident who wants to participate. Of course, Roseville residents are also welcome to <br />sign up for any of our ongoing public virtual tours starting on Earth Day 2021. <br />Describe added -value (Option 2): <br />Transition of textiles recycling program from curbside collection with recycling to promotion of <br />local reuse and repair options. <br />How will this add value? <br />As there is growing recognition of textile waste and an increased understanding that textile <br />recycling is a challenge in the time of fast fashion and low quality material, there is a growing <br />movement towards focusing on local resources for textile reuse and repair. <br />We would see value in working with the City to transition the textiles program away from <br />curbside collection and towards promotion of local reuse and repair services. This would include <br />working together with the city to identify local businesses and organizations in and around the <br />local community that are doing great work with textile reuse and/ or repair, and adding such <br />resources to the Rosevilles' annual recycling guide, Eureka Recycling's website and customer <br />service app, and also sending a specific post card once a year to residents. This proposal is based <br />on an effort that we piloted in St Paul as part of the MPCA grant. <br />This will add more environmental benefit in terms of promoting reuse and also promote local <br />businesses and entrepreneurs in and around the Roseville community. <br />Describe documented performance of this option in other communities: <br />This was an effort that we piloted in St Paul as part of our MPCA grant and would look forward <br />to expanding on in Roseville. <br />What will be the cost impact of this added -value option: <br />We would propose passing on the direct cost of the one post card mailing a year to the city. All <br />other work associated with this proposal would be completed at no cost to the city. <br />RFP for City of Roseville Recycling Services • D-29 <br />
