What Makes Roseville a Leader in Recycling?

A plethora of statistics tell the story in city's 2012 annual recycling report.

Some 80 percent of Roseville households participate in recycling and residents recycled more than 3,000 tons of material in 2012.

And the energy savings stemming from that recycling would have been enough to power 385 homes for a year.

Those and other facts are contained in Roseville's latest annual recycling report compiled by Eureka Recycling, a non-profit trash hauler and recycler who has provided its services to the city since 2006.
