<br />Results <br />The publicity worked. When the gates opened <br />to the Clean Up Day on April 26th <br />approximately 30 cars were in line. Shortly <br />after 9 a.m., the line stretched to a half mile <br />long. Even so the wait rarely exceeded 45 <br />minutes. This was due to two reasons. First <br />good site selection and layout. The parking lot <br />is in a horseshoe configuration. That made it <br />easy to set up two lines to enter (see photo). <br />It also allowed Lightning to set up trucks and dumpsters along both sides of the lot all the <br />way around. This made it easy for residents to drive to the drop off point for their <br />material, unload and exit. <br /> <br /> <br />Compare this to Shoreview which has a narrower site; its Public Works garage lot. There <br />waits routinely streteh up to an hour or more despite being open two hours longer and <br />doing roughly the same volumc. <br /> <br /> <br />Five hundred and sixty-one vehicles <br />visited Roseville's Clean Up Day. <br />Most of what was dropped off was <br />garbage. Roseville required all the <br />garbage be taken to the NRG <br />processing facility in Newport and <br />electronics be taken to a facility that <br />would guarantee the items were <br />processed in the United States. <br />Thirty yards of the chipped brush <br />was dropped at the Roseville compost site so it could be loaded into the distribution bins <br />for the public to pick up free of charge. The total disposal cost was $4,560.55.
