In 2019, drivers left approximately 540 educational tags <br />on recyclers' carts. <br />The most common reason residents received a tag in 2019 were: <br />1. Contamination, including plastic bags, bulky plastic items, and other miscellaneous non -recyclable items. <br />2. Repeatedly having excess recycling placed next to cart while having a small or medium sized cart. The tag recommended that the resident call the <br />hotline to request a larger, or even a second cart. <br />3. Cardboard not been broken down to a size that will fit in the cart. To collect extra cardboard the driver tips the cart and then puts the extra <br />cardboard into the cart and tips it again. Cardboard too big for the cart is difficult for the driver to collect. <br />Amount stored, by recyclable material <br />No recyclables have been stored at our facility longer than needed to generate quantities to ship. <br />The markets generally used for the sale of recyclables <br />Eureka Recycling continues to use the same markets for recyclables as were noted in the RFP. Eureka Recycling has always prioritized supporting local <br />markets. Currently 83% of the material we process is sent to an end market within Minnesota, 90% is sold to an end market in the Midwest, and 100% or our <br />materials stay within North America. <br />
