U�til 1999 the City used a system of block ieaders. These residents were given signs to put in their yards to <br />remind neighbors that recycling day was approaching. The City chose to discontinue this program after <br />svvitching to every other week collection. <br />The program began with collection of old newspaper (ONP) and aluxninurn cans. Over the years it has <br />expanded to collect old magazines (OMG), old corrugated containers (OCC), household office paper and <br />mail (HOPIvn, boxboard (OBB), phone books, glass bottles and jars, steel food cans, PETE and HDPE <br />plastic bottles with a neck. <br />In 1999 Roseville switched from source separated where residents sort the�r recycling into seven different <br />categories to a two-sort system. The staff review of recycling bids recommended switching because the City <br />was offered a sigt�ificat�tly lower rate that �ncluded changing to two-sort collection picked up every other <br />week. The previous program was source separated picked up the first and third weeks of the month. <br />80 <br />70 <br />60 <br />50 <br />40 <br />30 <br />20 <br />10 <br />a <br />Figure Two <br />Roseville Recycling 3et Out Rate <br />�,1 �,� �°' �° ��. �ti �� �o� �`' �� �� �� �°' o° o� oti o� oo� <br />�� �� �� �°� �°� �°� �°� �°� ti°� �°� �� �� �� �� ti� ti� ti� ti� <br />Despite these cha:nges of more frequent collecti.on and simplified sorting, tonnages collected at�d the number <br />of participating households has remained relatively stagnant since 1992.
