One of the reasons the residual rate is increasing in the composition study is that Eureka has <br />invested over 2 million dollars over the last two years in additional equipment to continue to <br />increase the quality of the material being sent to end markets. The additional equipment helps <br />to further assure that plastic and aluminum is not ending up in the paper stream. <br />Plastic bags, freezer boxes, black plastic, Styrofoam, and plastic pouches continue to be the <br />most common non -recyclable items in the residual. <br />Engaging with residents through education (including the Guide to Recycling) in -mold labels on <br />all recycling carts, our zero waste hotline, and outreach at many city sponsored events all lead <br />to a lower residual rate. Regular communications makes it easy for Roseville residents to stay <br />informed, and be clear about what is and is not recyclable in their city. <br />6 <br />
