Eureka Recycling decided to launch a recycling app in 2017. By working with a company called ReCollect, we launched a recycling app that Roseville residents can use online at eurekarecycling.org or can download to their mobile device for free by searching for "Eureka Recycling" in their app store. The app allows residents to look up individual items to find out if they are accepted in their recycling program or not, and can also be connected to Ramsey County listings and resources for guidance in handling hard to recycle items like electronics, scrap metal, and appliances. The app also allows residents to see their recycling schedule and sign up for reminders to support their participation in Roseville's recycling program. In 2019 we saw an increasing number of Roseville residents using the app. Overall, 1,470 unique Roseville addresses have been searched through the app, and 3,325 materials have been looked up to see if they can be recycled. There are currently 382 Roseville residents signed up for recycling day reminders, with 68%of those residents being signed up through a mobile app and the rest being signed up for email, text, or phone call reminders. We look forward to working with the City to further promote this new app and expand on this success. This year-end report contains information on several areas that Eureka Recycling tracks to monitor the success of Roseville's zero waste recycling program over the course of each year. As a non-profit social enterprise we believe tracking and reportingthis data is an essential way to ensure program transparency. It also gives Eureka Recycling and city staff the tools needed to successfully manage the program. An affirmative action, equal opportunity employer.
