highlighted that 96% of the material collected in Roseville went into the new <br /> product stream as opposed to some other recycling companies hauling those items <br /> to a landfill, and congratulated Eureka Recycling staff on a job well-done. <br /> Chair DeBenedet noted that the report was lengthy, and was available for public <br /> information on the PWET Commission website as part of tonight's meeting <br /> materials; with Member Vanderwall suggesting that staff post it independently on <br /> the City's website as well, with Chair DeBenedet concurring. <br /> Mr. Schwartz noted that, by 2016, the Ramsey County Solid Waste Policy <br /> required everyone in the county to do food waste collection; and advised that in <br /> the near future, Eureka Recycling would be increasing plastic collection from <br /> those items marked "1" and "2," to all marked "1" through"5." <br /> Chair DeBenedet noted that pizza boxes had also recently been added. <br /> Member Gjerdingen noted that milk cartons were also included now; however, he <br /> noted that Eureka Recycling needed to update their bin signage to indicate that, <br /> using his personal apartment residence as an example of poorly updated bin <br /> signage. <br /> Chair DeBenedet suggested that staff alert Eureka Recycling to the need to <br /> improve their education/advertising efforts. <br /> Member Gjerdingen encouraged competition among multi-family complexes to <br /> increase their recycling efforts. <br /> Member Felice expressed her appreciation to the educational efforts of Eureka <br /> Recycling, evidenced by the collection rates; and also expressed appreciation of <br /> Eureka delaying additional plastic recycling until a proven market was found. <br /> Chair DeBenedet noted that revenue sharing had dramatically increased, saving <br /> the City considerable money, proving that the Eureka contract had been <br /> advantageous for residents. <br /> 8.
