Roseville Recycling Pilot Program Summary <br />Table ES -1 <br />Pilot Study Components <br />Results of Pilot Program <br />Material Composition Assessment <br />To compare the types and quantities of recyclable and non - targeted materials collected <br />in each of the various pilot study areas, the pilot program included detailed material <br />composition sorts and analysis. <br />For each pilot route (including the Control route), one field sort was conducted in the <br />two -month "Before" period (June -July 2004) and two field sorts were conducted in the <br />four -month "During" period (August- November 2004). <br />The statistical analysis measured if there was a statistically significant change in the <br />percentages of the various recyclable materials, and /or the actual weight of certain <br />materials in the pilot areas. <br />The overall results from the analysis reflect that the composition of materials collected <br />for recycling changed significantly with single - stream but did not change significantly <br />with any of the dual- stream variations (increased frequency, increased capacity, <br />increased education). <br />ES -2 DRAFT B1605 <br />Monday <br />Monday <br />Tuesday <br />Wednesday <br />Thursday <br />Friday <br />Single- <br />Single- <br />Increased <br />Increased <br />Larger Bin <br />Control <br />Stream <br />Stream <br />Frequency <br />Education <br />Capacity <br />(Current <br />Contrast <br />System) <br />Frequency of <br />Every other <br />Every other <br />Weekly <br />Every other <br />Every other <br />Every other <br />Collection <br />week <br />week <br />week <br />week <br />week <br />Bins /Carts <br />64- gallon <br />64- gallon <br />18- gallon bin <br />18- gallon bin <br />Two 22- <br />18- gallon bin <br />cart <br />cart <br />gallon bins <br />with wheels <br />Added <br />Only <br />Only <br />Only <br />Extra <br />Only <br />None <br />Education <br />pertaining to <br />pertaining to <br />pertaining to <br />educational <br />pertaining to <br />new sorting <br />new sorting <br />new <br />materials <br />new bin <br />system <br />system <br />frequency of <br />capacity <br />collection <br />Demographics <br />Similar <br />Newer <br />Similar <br />Similar <br />Similar <br />Slightly <br />homes & <br />higher <br />more <br />average <br />affluent than <br />income than <br />other pilot <br />other pilot <br />areas <br />areas except <br />Contrast <br />Results of Pilot Program <br />Material Composition Assessment <br />To compare the types and quantities of recyclable and non - targeted materials collected <br />in each of the various pilot study areas, the pilot program included detailed material <br />composition sorts and analysis. <br />For each pilot route (including the Control route), one field sort was conducted in the <br />two -month "Before" period (June -July 2004) and two field sorts were conducted in the <br />four -month "During" period (August- November 2004). <br />The statistical analysis measured if there was a statistically significant change in the <br />percentages of the various recyclable materials, and /or the actual weight of certain <br />materials in the pilot areas. <br />The overall results from the analysis reflect that the composition of materials collected <br />for recycling changed significantly with single - stream but did not change significantly <br />with any of the dual- stream variations (increased frequency, increased capacity, <br />increased education). <br />ES -2 DRAFT B1605 <br />
