<br />Household Hazardous Waste <br /> <br />Ramsey County contracts for drop-off sites for household hazardous waste. <br />There is a year-round collection site in St. Paul and seasonal collection sites in <br />various cities. One of those seasonal sites is on Kent Street in Roseville, which is <br />open Fridays and Saturdays in June. The Roseville site is the busiest of Ramsey <br />County's five seasonal sites. <br /> <br />Residents may drop off HHW for free. The County pays for collection and <br />processing of HHW. Waste collection and disposal is funded by the waste <br />management service charge, which is paid with your property tax. <br /> <br />Among the items collected are: <br />Fluorescent lamps <br />Mercury vapor lamps <br />Old gasoline <br />etc. <br />Spray cans - but not if empty <br />Paint - but not if dried <br />Paint stripper <br />Paint thinner and other solvents <br />.. . and other products labeled poisonous, flammable, or corrosive. <br /> <br />Pesticides - weed or bug killer <br />Rat or mouse poison <br />Mercury thermometers, thermostats, switches, <br /> <br />Used antifreeze <br />Used motor oil and oil filters <br />Wood preservatives and stains <br /> <br />Residents may drop off HHW for free. The County pays for collection and <br />processing of HHW. <br /> <br />I. Noise - PCA Standards <br /> <br />The Roseville City Code addresses noise control regulations in Section 207 under <br />public nuisances. Because the language in this section of the ordinance is general <br />in nature, the City has chosen to enforce noise level standards established by the <br />Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. The State noise rules are based on <br />allowable exterior noise levels and are designed to protect the public by limiting <br />the amount of noise, which may occur beyond a property line. To accomplish <br />this, a series of standards were established to control exterior noise levels. The <br />standards have a range of applicability during daytime hours (7:00 a.m. to 10:00) <br />and nighttime hours defined as 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.ill. As established by State <br />statute, noise levels are measured by decibels (DB) and weighted to represent the <br />human ears variable sensitivity to different frequencies. The standards used by <br />the State of Minnesota also define the amount of time a specific noise level <br />occurs. In Minnesota, the LI0 and LSO standards are used. Both represent that <br />percentage of an hour that a noise level is exceeded (i.e. an LIO value equals the <br /> <br />Roseville Comprehensive Plan-2003 Update <br /> <br />Environmental Protection - Page 6 of 7 <br />
