a j- Attachment 1 City of Roseville Annual Report Reporting Period: July 1 — December 31, 202E Overvievi The City of Roseville's recycling program performed strongly from July through December 2025, with consistently high resident participation and steady material volumes that align with typical seasonal patterns. While overall system performance is solid, the early part of this period was affected by WM staff transitions, inconsistent communication, and operational challenges, which created temporary strain across all coordination efforts. These early hurdles highlighted the importance of clear, timely, and collaborative communication between the City and WM—an area both parties are actively addressing and are committed to maintaining. The supporting attachments reveal opportunities to continue improving material quality, service reliability, and the customer experience for both single-family and multifamily households. Contamination monitoring shows recurring issues such as bagged recyclables, plastic film, foam packaging, and non -recyclable household items, indicating that targeted, simplified education can meaningfully improve stream quality. Customer feedback and service logs highlight predictable operational pressure points, including cart placement conflicts, valet and garage service expectations, and occasional late -week service inconsistencies. At the same time, cart activity demonstrates that residents and properties are actively right -sizing containers, signaling an engaged community that responds positively when guidance is clear. The attached files also show that multifamily properties —particularly those with multiple collection points, or unique access equipment —benefit from consistent, structured support to reduce contamination and missed pickups. Standardizing service profiles, equipment types, and access procedures across these buildings strengthens reliability and reduces variability. Reinforcing communication practices —from pre -route access checks to clear, uniform photo documentation for deliveries and swaps —helps prevent repeat issues and ensures shared understanding among drivers, property managers, and City and WM staff. From a sustainability perspective, the City is well -positioned to demonstrate its commitment to circularity and responsible material management. Documentation of processing practices and end markets can be used to strengthen public trust in the system and support community education. Looking ahead, opportunities include reducing contamination, increasing recycling capture at high -potential multifamily sites, and expanding engagement through simple, behavior -driven education across print, digital, and on -cart channels. In summary, the program is healthy and structurally sound, with strong participation and stable collection patterns. The most meaningful opportunities lie in sharpening and broadening education, standardizing multifamily operations, strengthening reporting consistency, and enhancing proactive customer -experience practices.
