SUSTAINABILITY UPDATE 2021 <br />SEPTEMBER 2021 <br />FOOD SCRAPS DROP SITE <br />At the beginning of 2020, Roseville proposed a <br />food scraps drop site at the same location as the <br />Dale Street yard -waste facility. The proposal was <br />approved by the City Council, and the site opened <br />to the public at the end of that summer. Annually, <br />the drop site gets about 12,376 visits and diverts an <br />estimated 52 tons (104,000lbs) of material. <br />The site is available for residents to drop off <br />organic waste including food scraps and land waste <br />within the city limits. Interested residents may <br />bring organic waste to the site, or to one of many <br />other Ramsey County sites found on their <br />interactive online map. Small organics containers <br />are available by request at City Hall, and bags can <br />be found at the drop off site, at City Hall, and in <br />stores. Resources for those interested are available <br />on the City of Roseville website. <br />Organics Information and Drop Sites: <br />cityofrosevi I le.com/3393/Food-Scraps-Coll ection- <br />organic-recycling <br />WATER CONSERVATION <br />Beginning in 2020, the City of Roseville began <br />planning and implementing the Water Efficiency <br />Rebate Program in partnership with the <br />Metropolitan Council and the Clean Water Land <br />& Legacy Amendment.
