Annual Composition Study <br />In. this years composition analysis; conducted in February of 2008, Eureka Recycling <br />collected 84,050 pounds of material. This material was run through Eureka Recycling's <br />sorting facility separate from all other materials to breakdown. l~oseville's recycling into <br />different types (see chart below}. <br /> <br />Typo of Material 20(l~ ' <br />5S of Total <br />Tannage 2D07 <br />",t of Total <br />Tonnage ?DOl3 <br />°,o of Total <br />Tonnage <br />Tor...'

For more information on the uce[hodololry of <br />the composition analysis scr Appendix B. <br />There are several important and interesting things to note about this year's composition as <br />cainpared to previous years. <br />• The percentage of paper and cardboard (papers) compared to bottles and <br />cans {containers) has shifted. Closer examination. of this shows that cardboard as <br />a percentage of the paper stream. is significantly down (nearly 10'%u). In a slower <br />economy it is typical to see less cardboard. Cardboard recycling in a household is <br />
