TONS OF MATERIAL RECYCLED <br />Total tonnage collected in Roseville in 2017 was 3,262 tons. This represents a small (2%) <br />decrease over the previous year. This is something to be proud of considering the continuing <br />trend towards the lightening of individual products and packaging that make up recycled <br />materials. Recycling rates are measured by weight industry wide, but that metric doesn't tell <br />the complete story. Manufacturers are continuing to find lighter and lighter weight packaging <br />options. Products once bottled in glass are now bottled in plastic or aluminum. Aluminum and <br />plastic bottles are getting thinner and lighter. Also, fewer and fewer households subscribe to <br />physical newspapers and magazines, opting instead to get their news and entertainment on <br />computers, tablets, and phones. Roseville's 2% decrease very likely represents an increase in <br />terms of actual volume of material residents are recycling, because it takes more material to <br />create a ton now than it has in the past. <br />Tons of Recycling Collected in Roseville 0Curbside <br />■ Multifamily <br />3,500 <br />3,000 <br />2,500 <br />2,000 <br />1,500 <br />1,000 <br />500 <br />0.0 0 00000001 <br />2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 <br />2 <br />
