<br />Appendix C <br /> <br />Eureka Recycling <br />Participation Analysis Methodology <br /> <br />Eureka IZ.ecyc1ing conducts an annual participation study in \vhich both <br />set-Qut and participation rates are analyzed and d6cUlllcntcd. <br /> <br />The set-out rate is the average number of households that set 1natcrials out <br />for recycling collection on a given day. For example, every other I'v1onday tor <br />one 111onth, collection drivers count the number of households that set out <br />recycling on that day. Then the t\\.'o numbers are averaged to determine the <br />averagenu111ber ofhollseholds \vho set out recycling on J given Monday. <br /> <br />participation rate is the number of households \\'ho set materials out for <br />recyclillg collection at least once over a period of one month. The <br />participation rate is a better indication of overall recycling participation bccmsc <br />it includes households that recycle at least once a month, recognizing that <br />households l11ay not set out recycling every collection day. It more <br />indicates how lluny households are participating in the recycling <br />olJerall, as opposed to the number of participants on a specific day. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />'.';';;"-- <br /> <br /> <br />F-~'"[l\~\" <br />~411 '~ ))Il' <br /> <br />" <br />I <br />" :4" <br />, . ,pj; <br />= <br />? <br /> <br /> <br />Process <br />spans one 1110nth of collections.
