Recycling Pilot Program Summary <br />With three weeks remaining in the "During" period, the City mailed a reminder letter <br />stating that the pilot program was coming to an end, and included a satisfaction <br />survey. Participants were asked about their satisfaction with the tested method and if <br />they would be willing to pay more for a change in service. Additionally the residents <br />were asked what they liked and disliked about the tested method. Finally they were <br />asked which of the following they value the most and want the City to consider when <br />making changes to the recycling program. Their choices, in which to rank 1 to 4, <br />included: <br />Convenience; <br />Price; <br />Environmental benefit; and <br />^ Amount of recycling information provided by the City. <br />Survey Results <br />About one-half of pilot program participants responded to each of the mail surveys. <br />The survey results are summarized in Table 11. <br />Table 11 <br />Roseville Resident Survey Summary <br />Pre-Surveys <br />Why recycle?
