City of Roseville Outreach and Education Summary 2015 Roseville's recycling program continues to be a leader in the country. Outreach and education elements of the program are an important part to ensuring good participation and helping residents understand the benefits of recycling. In 2015, Eureka Recycling continued to support the efforts of the city of Roseville to make city events zero -waste. This was the fourth year we distributed recycling bins and educational material at Night to Unite parties. The Living Smarter Fair, Wild Rice Festival, and Earth Day celebration were also successful events—bringing Roseville residents' attention to zero -waste issues while diverting nearly 98% of event materials from the waste stream. These successes continue to show the City of Roseville's leadership and its commitment to zero waste and sustainability. In addition Eureka Recycling worked with city staff and with the Roseville Rotary to make the Taste of Rosefest a successful zero waste event as well. This, the first year that zero waste services we available to the Taste of Rosefest saw a diversion rate of over 9i% with 613 pounds of material being recycled or composted and only 61.5 pounds of trash generated. (See Appendix E for more details on the Taste of Rosefest's zero waste success) Second Year of Roseville's Transition to Single Sort Recycling Zero -Waste Hotline There was a large spike in calls to our hotline in the first year of single stream in 2014. Now that people are settling into the new system the number of calls, while still higher than the prc-single- sort levels, have come down a good deal. There were 23% few calls to the hotline from single family households and over 70% less requests for additional printed materials education materials Curbside Program Guide to Recycling The 2015 guide to recycling provided all of the information needed for each household to participate in the single sort program.
