Appendix C ~ <br />• <br />~" <br />Eureka Recycling <br />Participation Analysis Methodology <br />{651) 222-$ORT (7678) <br />wwrw.eurekBreCyClinq.orq <br />Eureka Recycling conducts an annual participation study in which both <br />set-out and participation rates are analyzed and documented. <br />Our mission is to reduce <br />The set-o tit rate is the average number of households that set materials out waste today through <br />for recd=cling collection on a given da~T. For example, every Monday for one Innovative resource <br />month, collection drivers count the number of households that set out management and to reach <br />recycling on that day. Then the four numbers are averaged to determine the a waste-free tomorrow <br />average number of households ~vho set out rec~rcling on a given Monday. by demonstrating that waste <br />is preventable, net inevitable. <br />The participation rate is the number of households who set materials out <br />for recycling collection at least once over a period of one month. The <br />participation rate is a better indication of overall rec~Tcling participation <br />because it includes households that recd=cle ax least once a month, <br />recognizing that some households may not set out recycling every week. It <br />more accurately indicates lzow many households are participating in the <br />recycling program ove~•Rll, as opposed to the number of participants on a <br />specific day. <br />Summary of Process <br />'The study spans one month of collections. Eureka Recycling selects random <br />sections to study for each daily recycling route, each section being <br />comprised of about 200 households per day, for a total study of over 1,000 <br />households. These same sections twill be studied every year for consistency. <br />Over afour-week period, Eureka Recycling tallies the enact number of <br />households that set out recycling for collection in the morning of their <br />collection day, before the driver services the section. The four-week study <br />tracks rec~Tcling set-outs over the five days of collections during the week, <br />totaling 20 days of set-out tracking. <br />M affirmative action, equal <br />opportuntty employer. <br />Q Printed on 100% pastconsumer <br />recycled paper that was processed <br />without the use of ehlorlne, <br />
