Roseville is the largest city in Placer County and called home by 135,000 people. Find the resources you need here.

We are a place where businesses small and large find success. Ideally located, Roseville provides first-rate services, competitive costs, solid long-range planning and an educated, growing population.

Each year, Roseville picks up about 130,000 tons of waste and takes it to the Materials Recovery Facility – known as the MRF (pronounced MURF).

The MRF recovers what can be reused or recycled, which helps with landfill capacity by taking out valuable items and repurposing them. We need your help, though! Where possible, reduce the amount of waste you produce (only by what you absolutely need), reuse shopping bags or containers for food storage, and use drop-off sites and your trash bin to recycle.
