COMPOSITION OF MATERIALS <br />Each year Eureka Recycling conducts a composition of the material collected in Roseville. <br />While this is certainly not an industry standard, Eureka Recycling believes that this information <br />is important for cities to have as they plan their budgets, make decisions on their education and <br />outreach work plans and communicate with residents about what to recycle and the success of <br />their program overall. <br />* Recycling collected in Two Sort System from 2006-2013. Single sort began in 2014 <br />Increases in Cardboard <br />The 2017 composition study revealed the continuation of the increase of the percentage of <br />cardboard. This is linked to a sustaining increase in online shopping and rapid delivery offered <br />by shipping companies. It has been named the "E -Commerce Effect." More people are buying <br />more things online. This creates an increase in the amount of cardboard boxes households have <br />to recycle each week. <br />4 <br />2006 <br />2007 <br />2008 <br />2009 <br />2010 <br />2011 <br />2012 <br />2013 <br />2014 <br />2015 <br />2016 <br />2017 <br />Type of <br />Matenal <br />%of Total <br />%of Total <br />%of Total <br />%of Total <br />%of Total <br />%of Total <br />%of Total <br />%of Total <br />%of Total <br />%of Total <br />%of Total <br />%of Total <br />Tonnage <br />Tonnage <br />Tonnage <br />Tonnage <br />Tonnage <br />Tonnage <br />Tonnage <br />Tonnage <br />Tonnage <br />Tonnage <br />Tonnage <br />Tonnage <br />Total <br />Annual <br />3,441 <br />3,681 <br />3,556 <br />3,281 <br />3,322 <br />3,244 <br />3,173 <br />3,225 <br />3,212 <br />3,305 <br />3,320 <br />3262 <br />Tons <br />Papers <br />News Mix <br />63.98% <br />56.46% <br />66.00% <br />61.65% <br />59.68% <br />51.53% <br />56.86% <br />54.40% <br />56.27% <br />54.08% <br />50.00% <br />35.63% <br />Cardboard <br />6.71% <br />13.23% <br />4.50% <br />5.48% <br />7.34% <br />10.33% <br />9.09% <br />8.78% <br />8.59% <br />7.35% <br />12.80% <br />11.32% <br />Mixed <br />406% <br />7.81% <br />3.20% <br />5.50% <br />5.68% <br />7.64% <br />6.59% <br />3.49% <br />5.32% <br />5.12% <br />5.15% <br />14.66% <br />Paper <br />Milk <br />Cartons & <br />Not <br />Negligible <br />Negligible <br />Negligible <br />0.02% <br />0.03% <br />0.47% <br />0.07% <br />0.31% <br />0.19% <br />0.19% <br />0.22% <br />Juice <br />collected <br />Boxes <br />Textiles <br />0.40% <br />Negligible <br />Negligible <br />0.02% <br />0.02% <br />Negligible <br />0.20% <br />0.09% <br />0.11% <br />0.16% <br />0.23% <br />0.01% <br />Residual <br />0.24% <br />0.11% <br />0.50% <br />0.06% <br />0.07% <br />0.27% <br />0.19% <br />0.07% <br />N/A <br />N/A <br />N/A <br />N/A <br />SUB- <br />75.40% <br />76.60% <br />74.20% <br />72.72% <br />72.81% <br />69.79% <br />73.40% <br />70.39% <br />75.92% <br />72.02% <br />73.52% <br />61.84% <br />TOTAL <br />Total Glass <br />14.89% <br />15.15% <br />16.70% <br />17.54% <br />17.31% <br />18.08% <br />16.94% <br />18.78% <br />17.58% <br />21.36% <br />19.52% <br />22.17% <br />Steel Cans <br />2.64% <br />2.00% <br />2.40% <br />2.43% <br />2.65% <br />2.49% <br />2.38% <br />3.30% <br />2.09% <br />2.12% <br />1.39% <br />1.88% <br />Aluminum <br />1.48% <br />1.10% <br />1.40% <br />1.40% <br />1.43% <br />2.10% <br />1.37% <br />1.99% <br />1.13% <br />0.98% <br />1.04% <br />1.34% <br />Total <br />470% <br />4.01% <br />4.60% <br />5.75% <br />5.67% <br />6.94% <br />5.63% <br />7.29% <br />6.13% <br />6.09% <br />5.24% <br />5.16% <br />Plastics <br />Residual <br />0.89% <br />0.15% <br />0.70% <br />0.17% <br />0.12% <br />0.60% <br />0.28% <br />1.74% <br />N/A <br />N/A <br />N/A <br />N/A <br />SUB- <br />2460% <br />22.40% <br />25.80% <br />27.28% <br />27.19% <br />30.21% <br />26.60% <br />33.10% <br />26.93% <br />30.55% <br />27.19% <br />30.55% <br />TOTAL <br />* Recycling collected in Two Sort System from 2006-2013.
