Eureka Recycling provided 267 pieces of recycling education (instructional posters, brochures, schedules, etc.) to building management and residents of existing and newly established multifamily accounts in 2016. We continue to monitor the performance and service issues with each account to adjust service levels on an ongoing basis. We ensure that we are providing appropriate service levels to all buildings by working with our drivers and involved on-site contacts to add more carts as residents recycle more. Special Education and Outreach The Story of a Cereal Box Video Many people have asked to come on a tour of our materials recovery facility (MRF) to see what happens to their material after it leaves their curb. While not everyone can do this we wanted to offer the next best thing. We created a 10 minute video that follows a cereal from the household that placed it in to their recycling all the way through the sorting process and finally to the end market that makes it into a new cereal box and the store that sells that new box. Viewers can see the many types of machines and awesome people who make recycling work for Roseville. They can also the impact of problem materials like plastic bags, hoses, chords and other things that people try and recycle. The video can be seen on Eureka Recycling's website. Residents and community groups can even request a special screening of the video along with a questions and answer presentation so they can ask all the questions they have about their recycling program. Outreach at Roseville Events In 2016 Eureka Recycling and the City of Roseville partnered during three events to give residents an opportunity to learn about recycling, while also experiencing that waste is preventable. Eureka Recycling provided Zero -Waste Event Services, which included staff helping to monitor zero -waste stations and educate residents about recycling and zero -waste issues. On April 23, 2016 at the Roseville Earth Day event Eureka Recycling and the City had a table where our staff shared information about the recycling program. We also had one of the recycling trucks on hand so kids could see the how recycling is collected up close. Night to Unite We again joined the City of Roseville at Night to Unite celebrations all over the city. Together, we recognized it as an opportunity to connect with Roseville residents on a night where the community gathers. The City and Eureka Recycling see this event as a great opportunity to bring resources to residents, while taking the time to build community and answer questions. At neighborhood gatherings Eureka Recycling staff distributed educational materials to help
