Revenue from the Sale of Recyclables
<br />The monetary value created by the set -out, collection, processing and sale of recyclable material
<br />in Roseville is shared back with the residents who protected that material from being trashed. A
<br />zero -waste recycling program that includes revenue share recognizes the value of these materials
<br />and how that value can be used to support other recycling and waste reduction initiatives.
<br />Since 2006, the City of Roseville has received more than $796,000 in revenue from the
<br />sale of its recyclables. This revenue gives the city the resources to continue to support the
<br />zero -waste recycling program, zero -waste services at events, the citywide clean -up program,
<br />backyard composting workshops and other additional engagement and education opportunities
<br />In 2013 the prices paid for many of the different materials collected in the city's program were
<br />lower than in previous years. Newspaper prices were down 25% compared to 2012, cardboard
<br />pricing was at same 2012 levels, aluminum was down 5% from 2012, steel was down 28 %, PST
<br />plastic ( #1 soda and water bottles) was down 18 %, and HDPE plastic ( #2 — milkjugs and laundry
<br />detergent bottles) was down 22 %.
<br />Alunrinum and Plastic pricing is trending upward in the 1" quarter of 2014.
<br />Revenue from the Sale of Roseville's Recyclables
<br />The materials that Roseville residents set out each week are valuable. They required tons of
<br />natural resources, a great deal of enerp,, and hours of labor to produce. Much of that value still
<br />remains in the items after they are used. Recycling captures that value and renews it. The market
<br />for material generates billions of dollars each year in the United States alone and is highly sought
<br />after by manufacturers who want to make new products out of it.
<br />The Environmental Benefits of Roseville's Zero -Waste Recycling Program
<br />The environmental benefits of Roseville's zero -waste recycling program are quantified
<br />transparently using widely- accepted environmental models. This assures that all residents have
<br />chance to see how their efforts and the impact of those efforts can be measured.
