TONS OF MATERIAL RECYCLED <br />Total tonnage collected in Roseville in 2015 was 3,305 tons. This represents a small (3%) increase <br />over the previous year. This is something to be proud of considering the continuing trend <br />towards the lightening of individual products and packaging that n>ake up recycled materials. <br />Recycling rates are measured by weight industry wide, but that metric doesn't tell the complete <br />story. Manufacturers are continuing to find lighter and lighter weigh packaging options. Products <br />once bottled in glass are now bottled in plastic or aluminum. Aluminum and plastic bottles are <br />getting thinner and lighter. Also, fewer and fewer households subscribe to physical newspapers <br />and magazines, opting instead to get their news and entertainment on computers, tablets, and <br />phones. Roseville's 3% increase very likely represents a bigger percentage increase in terms of <br />actual recycling efforts by residents, because it takes more containers to create a ton now than it <br />has. <br />Tons of Recycling Collected in Roseville <br />3,500 <br />3,000 <br />2,500 <br />2,000 <br />1,500 <br />1,000 <br />500 <br />0 <br />■ Curbside Tons <br />■ Multifamily Tons <br />2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 <br />2 <br />
