Appendix B <br />Data Analysis of City of Roseville Recyclable <br />Materials Composition Sorts <br />As part of the recycling technical assistance to Ramsey County, the project team of <br />R. W. Beck and Dan Krivit and Associates (Project Team) analyzed the data collected <br />from the City of Roseville's (City) three recyclable materials field sorts that were <br />conducted in July, September, and October of 2004. <br />This appendix is divided into the following sections: <br />• Pilot Overview <br />• Study Design <br />• Results of the Data Analysis <br />• Summary <br />Overview <br />The objective of the Project Team's analysis was to compare the quantities of <br />materials collected for the various recyclable materials collection methods. The City <br />currently uses the dual stream (paper and containers) curbside collection method with <br />18- gallon bins collected every other week. In the pilot study, the Friday route was <br />considered a control route in which the collection method did not change. The <br />recyclable materials collection method for each of the pilot routes is shown below in <br />Table 1. <br />Table 1 <br />City of Roseville <br />Pilot Route Descriptions <br />Monday <br />Monday <br />Tuesday <br />Wednesday <br />Thursday <br />Friday <br />(Control) <br />Collection Single <br />Single <br />Dual <br />Dual Stream <br />Dual Stream <br />Dual <br />Method Stream <br />Stream <br />Stream <br />with <br />with Larger <br />Stream <br />Additional <br />Bin <br />Education <br />Frequency Bi- weekly <br />Bi- weekly <br />Weekly <br />Bi- weekly <br />Bi- weekly <br />Bi- weekly <br />Bin /Cart 64- gallon <br />64- gallon <br />18- gallon <br />18- gallon bin <br />22- gallon <br />18- gallon <br />Size cart <br />cart <br />bin <br />bin <br />bin <br />The pilot routes included various areas of the City and each route was approximately <br />the same size (330 to 360 single - family homes). <br />B1605 <br />
