Curbside Program <br />Guide to Recycling <br />All Roseville residents in the zero -waste recycling program received the <br />2012 Guide to Recycling through direct mail. In addition to the basic <br />instructions for how recycling should be set out and the materials collected, <br />the 2012 Guide to Recycling focused on the big issues with plastics. This <br />focus of the Guide was an effort to help residents understand some of the <br />issues around recycling plastics and an invitation for residents to participate in <br />a questionnaire about their values regarding plastics. Many residents <br />appreciated this additional information and chose to call the Zero -Waste <br />Hotline to learn more. <br />Direct Education <br />Eureka Recycling and the City of Roseville share a value that all the material that can be recycled <br />should be and that material that cannot be recycled should not be collected. Taking non - <br />recyclable items on a ride in a recycling truck and through a processing facility not only wastes <br />the fuel and energy to transport and process the material, it also leaves the residents with the <br />mistaken impression that the material can be recycled when in fact it cannot. <br />Eureka Recycling drivers educate residents at the curb using educational tags for specific <br />problems. In 2012, drivers left approximately 9,736 educational tags in recyclers' bins. <br />Driver Tags 9,540 10,156 7,367 13,565 <br />0 <br />13,010 <br />2011 <br />50,061 <br />2012 <br />9,736 <br />Postcards 650 822 451 742 <br />559 <br />1,136 <br />951 <br />Personalized Letters 30 51 0 3 <br />10 <br />41 <br />179 <br />Our experience has shown that the absolute best place to educate residents about their zero -waste <br />recycling program is right at the curb. We work with our drivers to ensure they take advantage of <br />every opportunity to provide additional education. This is efficient because drivers can educate <br />the residents that are confused and it also begins a conversation with the residents. All of Eureka <br />Recycling's tags encourage residents to call our hotline where zero -waste educators are waiting to <br />clear up confusion about why certain items are not recyclable or to explain how residents' efforts <br />at the curb can have such an important impact on the value of the material and the environmental <br />benefits of recycling. <br />a <br />The city provides bins to <br />hold your recycling! <br />Marked with a 0,t or it <br />Sample Tags <br />2 <br />This <br />material <br />cannot <br />be recycled. <br />You can call the hotline to find out <br />what's recyclable end what's not. <br />
