<br />accompanying fact sheets, Dual~stream recycling clearly maximizes the amount of <br />materials that are truly recycled (not just picked up at the curb), Here's why: <br /> <br />. Residual rate: The facility~wide residual rate at Eureka Recycling's dual~stream <br />facility is less than 2%, No other recycler in the metro area comes close to this <br />level of environmental achievement, Recycling experts from around the country <br />are concerned with the negative impacts of single stream recycling on the quality <br />of materials, Single stream technology simply does not adequately address quality <br />concerns at this time. <br />. Glass: A dual~stream program with Eureka Recycling guarantees your glass will <br />be recycled back into glass bottles, Almost all of glass Eureka Recycling processes is <br />recycled back into glass bottles, Other haulers and processors using a single stream <br />method in the metro area use the majority of their glass as aggregate such as use in <br />landfill operations or for sandblasting, <br />. Education: Bins allow for drivers to easily educate recyclers, ensuring that the <br />materials picked up can actually be recycled, Drivers cannot see what's in the <br />bottom of a recycling cart, which results in less opportunity for education and <br />more contaruination. <br />. Contamination: By keeping papers separate from bottles and cans, you protect <br />valuable resources like newspapers and cardboard from being contaminated by <br />beverages and food, <br /> <br />Weekly is better than bi-weekly <br />We believe that Arden Hills should keep their weekly two~stream collection method, A <br />weekly program is an innovative way to increase recycling: it allows you to double <br />recycling capacity without lowering the quality of the materials collected, which occurs <br />when materials are collected in a single stream program, Weekly collection gives people <br />more space and the convenience of recycling each week. Recent pilot studies in Edina <br />and St. Anthony show that moving from weekly dual~stream to biweekly single~stream <br />results in a decrease in the amount of materials being collected, Conversely, the cities of <br />Saint Paul and Roseville experienced an increase of 20% in the recycling rate by switching <br />from bi~weekly collection to weekly collection, In these communities, the environmental <br />costs of additional collection and fuel are far outweighed by the environmental benefit of <br />additional recycling, <br /> <br />Recycle more stuff <br />Eureka Recycling is always looking to add new matetials, In addition to all the materials <br />you currently recycle, with Eureka Recycling, you can add these materials to the recycling <br />you put at the curb each week: <br />. milk cartons and juice boxes <br />. clothes and linens <br />. pop and beer boxes <br /> <br />Page 2 of 4 <br />
