As a nonprofit organization with a mission to demonstrate that waste is preventable, not inevitable, we value our partnership with the City of Roseville and are proud to be part of the city's efforts to continually improve its recycling program and reduce waste. The City of Roseville and Eureka Recycling have partnered since 2006 to design and implement a recycling program that strongly represents the values of the city's residents. These shared values are visible in this program. The City of Roseville and Eureka Recycling are both committed, as a result of our strongly held values, to making certain that all of the recyclable material that residents take the time and effort to set out is actually recycled into new products. In addition, Eureka Recycling and the city are committed to ensuring that the revenue received from the sale of the recyclable material collected in Roseville stays in Roseville where it is used to keep the cost of the recycling program low for residents and also supports additional waste reduction efforts undertaken in the city. Since partnering with Eureka Recycling, Roseville has met its goals with a program that represents its values even in the difficult economic environment experienced in 2009. The Economy Effects Recycling in 2009 2009 was a year of drastic economic downturns in virtually every sector of the global economy. Recycling was no exception.
