Sustainable Roseville <br />What we've done <br />TASTE OF ROSEFEST 2919 ` <br />ZERO WASTE EVENT SUMMARY <br />Eureka Recycling is always excited to collaborate with the City of Roseville and the Roseville Rotary to work <br />towards zero waste at the annual Taste of Rosefest This was our fifth year working together, and we are <br />proud to have maintained our shared vision of zero waste_ <br />Taste of Rosefest 2019 <br />Tablecloths ■ Trash ■ RecycRnp ■ Compostables <br />With the help and cooperation from Rotary <br />members, volunteers, vendors, and attendees, we <br />together recycled 286.6lbs of cardboard, glass <br />bottles, aluminum cans, pizza boxes, and we <br />composted 317lbs of food scraps and <br />compostable foodware. The event generated only <br />16.3lbs of materials that could neither be <br />composted or recycled (not including the vinyl <br />tablecloths.) We reduced vendor trash in half this <br />year by working with vendors to keep their film <br />plastic clean and dry, collecting separately, and <br />then delivering to Trex Decking in Minneapolis, a <br />company that recycles film plastic into composite <br />decking and outdoor furniture. In total, we <br />diverted 97%of materials from being Iandfilled <br />or incinerated. A 7% increase in diversion from <br />2018! Congratulations! <br />
