of the biggest benefits of Roseville's switch to single -sort recycling is that it creates the <br />opportunity to co- collect —or collect in different compartments on the same truck— recyclables <br />with compostable material, making it much less expensive to add composting to the program in <br />the future. <br />This year, Eureka Recycling spoke with over 930 Roseville residents on our zero - <br />waste hotline. Residents call our hotline with questions about waste reduction, how to properly <br />dispose of or reuse items, or to find out what happened to the material they set out for recycling. <br />The efforts of this zero -waste recycling program result in the highest benefit for the <br />environment and the community year after year, and 2013 was no exception. Eureka <br />Recycling and the residents and city of Roseville accomplish this together, by providing a <br />constant and full analysis of recycling that takes into account not only the costs, but the <br />environmental benefits and impacts, and the impact on and convenience for our community. It is <br />up to all of us as residents and connnunity members to continue to create systems that respect, <br />preserve, and protect the rapidly depleting resources that our lives depend on. <br />Specific Data About Roseville's Successful Zero -Waste Recycling Program in 2013 <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 increased slightly this year. <br />This can be attributed to a combination of an increase in the economy with more people able to <br />spend more and to increased awareness of the recycling program as a result of the <br />communications about the changes happening to the program in 2014. It has been shown in the <br />past that whenever recycling is a topic of conversation in a conmiunity the result is an increase in <br />the number of recyclers and in the amount each person recycles. <br />Route <br />2006 <br />2007 <br />2008 <br />2009 <br />2010 <br />2011 <br />2012 <br />2013 <br />Total <br />Total <br />Total <br />Total <br />Total <br />Total <br />Total <br />Total <br />Tons <br />Tons <br />Tons <br />Tons <br />Tons <br />Tons <br />Tons <br />Tons <br />Curbside <br />Total <br />2,958 <br />3.094 <br />2,994 <br />2,675 <br />2,742 <br />2,678 <br />2,603 <br />2,647 <br />Multifamily <br />Total <br />483 <br />587 <br />612 <br />606 <br />580 <br />566 <br />570 <br />578 <br />Roseville <br />Total <br />3 441 <br />31681 <br />3,556 <br />3,281 <br />3,322 <br />3,244 <br />3,173 <br />3,225 <br />3 <br />
