Taste of Rosefest 2017 <br />Zero Waste Event Summary <br /> <br />Eureka Recycling is always excited to partner with the City <br />of Roseville and the Roseville Rotary to work towards zero <br />waste for at the annual Taste of Rosefest. This was our third <br />year working together. In previous years, we laid the <br />groundwork for zero waste and were able to recycle and <br />compost 91% of everything discarded. We are proud to have <br />gotten even closer to zero waste this year with an increased <br />diversion rate of 97%! <br /> <br />With help and cooperation from many Rotary members, <br />volunteers, vendors, and attendees, we recycled 415.9 <br />pounds and composted 917.3 pounds of material. We <br />weighed 45.88 pounds of trash and another 30.9 pounds of <br />vinyl tablecloths. Given the difficulty of vinyl tablecloth <br />recovery, we estimate 95% of all discards were either <br />composted or recycled. <br /> <br />Although the amount of trash doubled this year, the <br />attendance also increased to 800. This attendance increase <br />is a jump of about 47%, which mimics the nearly doubled <br />weights in recycling and nearly tripled weights in compost. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
