Specific Data About Roseville's Successful Zero -Waste Recycling Program in 2012 <br />The City of Roseville's recycling program is exceptional because it uses this zero -waste <br />approach. Here are some examples of the benefits that the City of Roseville has ensured on <br />behalf of its residents. <br />Tons of Material Recycled in Roseville <br />The number of tons of material set out for recycling by residents has decreased slightly this year. <br />This is a trend that is consistent with many other cities in the state. It corresponds with a decrease <br />in trash set outs as well. People have changed their purchasing habits. Less newspaper <br />subscriptions and fewer large purchases makes for less material available for recycling. The <br />addition ofmaterials like textiles, milk cartons and juice boxes as well as pizza boxes in 2011 has <br />been an important effort that continue to have the amount of material recycled in Roseville buck <br />the trend toward stagnation or decrease seen in other cities. <br />Route <br />2006 <br />Total <br />Tons <br />2007 <br />Total <br />Tons <br />2008 <br />Total <br />Tons <br />2009 <br />Total <br />Tons <br />2010 <br />Total <br />Tons <br />2011 <br />Total <br />Tons <br />2012 <br />Total <br />Tons <br />Monday <br />852 <br />893 <br />832 <br />740 <br />758 <br />743 <br />729 <br />Tuesday <br />464 <br />500 <br />467 <br />420 <br />436 <br />436 <br />414 <br />Wednesday <br />454 <br />457 <br />461 <br />420 <br />435 <br />421 <br />399 <br />Thursdav <br />706 <br />736 <br />719 <br />669 <br />673 <br />656 <br />640 <br />Fridav <br />482 <br />507 <br />465 <br />1 426 <br />1 440 <br />1 422 <br />421 <br />Curbside Total <br />2,958 <br />3.094 <br />2,994 <br />2,675 <br />2,742 <br />2,678 <br />2,603 <br />Multifamily Total <br />483 <br />587 <br />612 <br />606 <br />580 <br />566 <br />570 <br />Roseville Total <br />3,441 <br />3,681 <br />3,556 <br />3,281 <br />3,322 <br />3,244 <br />3,173 <br />Annual Composition of Roseville's Material <br />Newest Additions Continue to Improve — The Word is Out <br />For the third year in a row, the amount of milk cartons and juice boxes (known in the industry as <br />aseptic like Tetra -Pak and gable top containers) collected in Roseville's program has increased this <br />year, and it was a big jump. This is exciting because it means that the education about this <br />relatively new material has been absorbed and residents are increasingly aware of the option to <br />recycle this type of material. This achievement is the result of sustained educational efforts by <br />Eureka Recycling and the City working in partnership. <br />Roseville Has a Very Low Residual Rate. <br />Residual refers to the amount of material collected from residents that is not actually recyclable. <br />In 2012, the City of Roseville had a remarkable 0.47% residual rate, meaning that over 99.5% of <br />all the material collected in Roseville was recycled into new products. The fact that Roseville's <br />residual rate remains one of the lowest residual rates in the state of Minnesota is truly astounding <br />and something to be very proud ofl <br />3 <br />
