<br />The Morris Leatherman Company <br />May 2024 <br />Neighborhoods and Businesses: <br /> Ninety-three 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 of <br />the small number posting a negative judgment. Over the past four years, 49% think the <br /> appearance of Roseville “remained about the same,” while 44%, a 12% increase from the 2020 <br /> level, see an “improvement,” and only six percent, a “decline,” a ten percent decrease from the <br />2020 study. Code enforcement is also highly rated. Ninety-one percent award this service either <br /> an “excellent” or “good” rating, while eight percent are more critical, focusing on “messy yards” <br /> “loose animals.” Fifty-eight percent are aware Roseville works with organizations to offer a <br />variety of different housing programs for residential homeowners, including foreclosure <br />protection, home improvement loans for interior and exterior remodeling, and a land trust <br />program. <br />Garbage Collection: <br />By a 48%-37% plurality, residents support 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; eleven percent strongly favor this change, while six percent strongly <br />oppose it. Sixteen percent are unsure. <br /> Supporters of the change base their decision primarily on “less truck traffic,” “lower cost with <br /> one hauler,” “less pollution,” and “better service.” Opponents cite “prefer to choose my own <br /> hauler,” “like current hauler,” and “competition creates lower cost.” <br />Curbside Recycling: <br />Eighty-one percent participate in the curbside recycling program by separating recyclable items <br /> from the rest of their garbage. The 19% who do not participate indicate they “rent or their <br /> association does it,” “do not have enough waste,” and “they think it is too much hassle.” Most <br />program participants, 74%, down eight percent in four years, put their recyclables out for <br />collection every two weeks; nineteen percent do so monthly. By a virtual tie of 50%-49%, <br />participants narrowly favor a change to a weekly collection schedule for recyclables. <br />Sixty-seven percent of residents are aware of the drop-off site to recycle food scraps and other <br />organic waste, an increase of 18% in four years.
