It sounds like the main <br />Comment, Question or <br />issue is the unfortunate fact that people are dumping other things <br />Concern <br />(i.e. brush, branches, furniture) there because the site is <br />unsupervised. Perhaps this could be handled by a team of <br />volunteers who could keep a watchful eye while the site is open. I <br />certainly would be willing to do this. I'm sure others could be <br />recruited too. During the hours the site is closed, then it'd be <br />imperative to lock the fence, ensuring there is no other way to <br />gain access to the site. <br />The two organic bins would need to be located closer to Dale St, <br />not behind the fencing, so people could use it 24/7. <br />Every time I use this site, other residents are there too. It's a very <br />popular, well used, convenient service. The black soil that is <br />produced from all the decomposing leaves is the BEST ever. <br />Many, many, many people use the soil for their gardens and <br />potted plants. It's wonderful that it's free for everyone! <br />If you decide to close the site permanently, I suspect that people <br />will resort to tossing their leaves and food scraps in their trash <br />bins. You're hoping that people will use another yard waste site <br />but driving to another site isn't always the best option for people. <br />Think about the add'l miles to the Frank / Sims site or the Pierce <br />Butler site or the Arden Hills site. We're not talking a mile or two <br />away. We're talking more than 5 miles away. That's a big deal. <br />I know you're wrestling with the 2026 budget. And I'm sure this <br />seems like a budget saving move. But please reconsider closing <br />the Dale Street site! It's an earth friendly, neighborhood <br />convenience which needs to be saved. <br />Thank you! <br />Unless restricted by law, all correspondence to and from Roseville City <br />government offices, including information submitted through electronic forms such <br />as this one, may be public data subject to the Minnesota Data Practices Act <br />Qbhf!253!pg!:15 <br /> <br />
