This report contains summaries of recycling data for both single-family and multi-family dwellings including, but not limited to, inquiries, composite study information, environmental impact and recycling market report. Also included is over ten years of comparison data to help measure the success of the recycling program. The data in this report has been utilized over the years to assist us in understanding past, present and future progress of the recycling program, as well as helping us develop future strategies to enhance the recycling programs already in place. Sincerely, Greg & Willie Tennis Greg and Willie Tennis Tennis Sanitation pg. 4 RECYCLING DATA SUMMARY In this report, we have compiled annual data from both single-family and multi-family dwellings. This data includes: • Combined net tonnage of all residential and multi-family dwellings • Break-out of single-family tonnage and participation rates (orange) • Break-out of multi-family tonnage ((bblluuee)) • Separate measurement of weights for cardboard and linens (bottom of APPENDIX A) • Break-out of single-family (orange) and multi-family ((bblluuee)) recycling materials by type and weight • Break-out of combined tonnages ((ggrreeeenn)) • Inquiries tracked per month (bottom of APPENDIX A) • Business, parks and cardboard volumes The data is compiled from recyclable materials collected from our drivers on designated Maple wood routes. Each load is weighed, and weights are compiled over a month’s period. Weights are broken out based on a composite ratio of the entire load. pg. 5 RECYCLING DATA (SINGLE-FAMILY) The single-family data in APPENDIX A (orange) was compiled from single-family homes after subtracting the multi-family weights. From this data, we can illustrate the weight per home (in lbs.), per month. We have also tracked the number of residents that do not place their recycling out on a weekly basis. In analyzing the single-family data, we can provide the following observations: • 2025 average weight per unit, per month – 40.3 lbs. 2012 - 41.95 lbs. per month 2013 - 43.78 lbs. per month 2014 - 53.48 lbs. per month 2015 - 53.48 lbs. per month 2016 - 54.59 lbs. per month 2017 - 53.99 lbs. per month 2018 - 54.01 lbs. per month 2019 - 53.69 lbs. per month 2020 - 46.13 lbs. per month 2021 - 43.74 lbs. per month 2022 – 41.20 lbs. per month 2023 - 36.44 lbs. per month 2024 - 34.95lbs. per month • 2025 annual net total collected for single-family – 2,657.13 tons 2012 - 2,313.61 tons 2013 - 2,414.62 tons 2014 - 2,949.92 tons 2015 - 2,949.94 tons 2016 - 3,011.02 tons 2017 - 2,978.13 tons 2018 - 2,979.18 tons 2019 - 2,961.30 tons 2020 - 3,137.35 tons 2021 - 2,974.80 tons 2022 – 2,802.21 tons 2023 – 2,478.38 tons 2024 - 2,304.29 tons Total Participation Percentage Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec AVG 2025 98% 100% 100% 99% 99% 100% 99% 99% 100% 99% 98% 99% 99% 2024 86% 92% 86% 92% 92% 100% 92% 92% 92% 91% 92% 92% 92% 2023 99% 100% 92% 100% 99% 100% 92% 92% 86% 92% 92% 92% 95% 2022 96% 96% 98% 98% 97% 99% 99% 99% 99% 99% 99% 99% 98% 2021 95% 95% 96% 98% 98% 98% 99% 98% 97% 98% 97% 97% 97% 2020 95% 95% 97% 97% 99% 97% 98% 97% 98% 98% 98% 97% 97% 2019 95% 95% 98% 97% 98% 98% 97% 95% 95% 97% 97% 97% 97% 2018 95% 95% 97% 97% 98% 98% 97% 95% 95% 97% 97% 96% 96% 2017 96% 96% 96% 97% 97% 98% 98% 98% 96% 97% 97% 96% 97% 2016 95% 95% 95% 97% 97% 97% 97% 97% 98% 97% 96% 98% 97% 2015 92% 92% 95% 95% 96% 96% 96% 96% 95% 97% 96% 97% 95% 2014 96% 96% 93% 95% 96% 96% 95% 96% 96% 96% 93% 94% 95% pg. 6 RECYCLING DATA (SINGLE-FAMILY) Below is a count of each service size used at single-family residences. Cart size exchanges are tracked and updated on drivers’ routes. In 2025, Tennis reached out to residents who either use a personal cart or do not have a recycling cart to provide them with the option to have a cart delivered for their use. 2025 Single-Family Home Cart Inventory 35gal 65gal 95gal 2-65gal 2-95gal 3+ Carts 1-65 & 1-95 PERSONAL CART NO CART 249 10281 346 16 45 7 12 3 20 2024 Single-Family Home Cart Inventory 35gal 65gal 95gal 2-65gal 2-95gal 3+ Carts 1-65 & 1-95 PERSONAL CART NO CART 235 10312 315 15 40 5 9 3 20 pg. 7 RECYCLING DATA (MULTI-FAMILY) The data in APPENDIX A ((bblluuee) is compiled from the net total weight of multi-family homes after factoring out the single-family weights. From this data, we can illustrate the weight per unit (in lbs.), per month. To assist us in providing accurate data, we compile weights on a quarterly basis. This weight is used to provide us with a fair average of weight generated by each multi-family unit. Our drivers also documented the number of carts dumped at each location on a weekly basis (see APPENDIX D). These weights are then added at the end of each month to provide us with a net total. In analyzing the multi-family data, we can provide the following observations: • 2025 average weight per unit, per month = 11.25 lbs. 2014 = 12.95 lbs. per month 2015 = 13.04 lbs. per month 2016 = 13.08 lbs. per month 2017 = 11.03 lbs. per month 2018 = 12.95 lbs. per month 2019 = 9.92 lbs. per month 2020 = 10.39 lbs. per month 2021 = 10.14 lbs. per month 2022 = 9.76 lbs. per month 2023 = 11.02 lbs. per month 2024 = 13.44 lbs. per month • 2025 annual net total collected for multi-family = 289.69 tons 2014 = 312.64 tons 2015 = 314.66 tons 2016 = 315.79 tons 2017 = 268.69 tons 2018 = 305.32 tons 2019 = 239.36 tons 2020 = 265.29 tons 2021 = 259.04 tons 2022 = 249.21 tons 2023 = 281.50 tons 2024 = 295.15 tons How are the weights determined for the multi-family data? On a quarterly basis, we use one truck to collect all multi-family dwellings. The total weight is divided by the number of carts emptied to get an average weight per cart. This data is then entered into a multi-family spreadsheet. See APPENDIX D for an example of this report. pg. 8 MULTI-FAMILY INDIVIDUAL SUMMARY LETTER From the data compiled throughout the year, we can provide each multi-family property with an accurate summary report of their recycling volumes (APPENDIX B). We also provide them with information on how their recycling efforts impact the environment and how to enhance their efforts. pg. 9 INQUIRIES SUMMARY Below are twelve months of data documenting the number of residents that have called our office. This year, the most common calls were regarding additional items they could recycle, and questions about our holiday schedule. We also receive inquiries about increasing the size of resident’s recycling carts. We are confident that our customer service representatives have resolved all inquiries to the residents’ satisfaction. 2025 Total Inquiries JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC TOTAL 6 6 16 14 8 11 12 16 18 25 18 10 160 2014 - 1,552 2015 - 422 2016 - 662 2017 - 255 2018 - 165 2019 - 334 2020 - 370 2021 - 398 2022 - 212 2023 - 228 2024 - 169 CARDBOARD SUMMARY (Single and Multi-Family) Cardboard collected for 2025 from city facilities and buildings totaled 172,910 lbs. 2024 – 202,000 lbs. 2023 – 144,650 lbs. 2022 – 104,440 lbs. 2021 – 85,830 lbs. 2020 – 74,490 lbs. 2019 – 89,120 lbs. 2018 – 102,356 lbs. 2017 – 88,337 lbs. 2016 – 104,498lbs. 2015 – 125,020 lbs. 2014 – 131,346 lbs.

Originally, we conducted our study by sorting loads collected from the city of Maplewood over a full week and sorted them all at once. As of 2018, we have looked at all the past data that we have collected and have tested a single load of material from the city of Maplewood. The single load of material has consistent ratios comparable to the weeks’ worth of material previously studied. Once the material is unloaded from the trucks in our MRF (Material Recovery Facility), it is sorted into each category as listed below. Each of the categories is then weighed and documented. The results of the composite study are entered into the monthly reports provided. Why do a composite study? Having a good understanding of the recycling composition provides us with data that may assist us in adjusting the recycling program to fit the needs of the residents. With ongoing changes in the economy, culture and in the home, we can develop more available markets, increase processing technologies to handle more items and enhance educational materials to instruct residents on proper recycling procedures. pg. 11 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ANALYSIS Using the detailed recycling data from this report, we can provide the City of Maplewood with some unique ways that the residents’ recycling efforts have made a difference. Over the years, recycling markets have been able to recycle more items out of the waste stream. They have also been able to determine what resources are saved by recycling various materials. In this report, we were able to convert the types of recycling materials into resources saved. pg. 12 2025 WORK PLAN REVIEW Each year, the city of Maplewood provides Tennis with an annual work plan. This is used to assist the city and Tennis in making improvements to the recycling program. Below is the 2025 work plan with details on how Tennis has addressed each concern over the last year. 1. Events: State of the City & Touch-a-Truck - Tennis attended the 2025 Maplewood State of the City event on March 19th, 2025. - Tennis participated in the 2025 Maplewood Touch-a-Truck event on September 19th, 2025. 2. Park Solid Waste Improvement Pilot Project: As part of the city’s 2025 SCORE Agreement Recycling Work Plan, Wakefield Park will service as a pilot park for recycling and solid waste improvements. Tennis Sanitation will work with the city and the city’s residential trash contractor, Republic Services, to make solid waste improvements in Wakefield Park. Improvements could include right-sizing dumpsters and education signage and outreach. - Tennis logged weekly recycling weights for Wakefield and all other city parks serviced for recycling. Monthly totals for each park were included in the monthly recycling report provided to the city. 3. Education Tags: Work with the city to update the education tags which are left on carts to ensure proper handling of recyclables. - The changes requested by the city have been made and a final drafts have been submitted to the city for approval. 4. Multi-Family Properties Recycling Improvements: a. Multi-Family Properties Without Recycling: Tennis Sanitation will continue to work with the city and Ramsey County to ensure recycling collection at all multi-family properties. This includes the three multi-family properties identified in 2024 that do not supply recycling to their residents. ▪ Tennis continued to work with the city in 2025 by communicating in partnership with the city, BizRecycling and property management and attended on-site meetings to discuss recycling improvements for targeted and new multi-family properties. b. Multi-Family Yearly Recycling Letter: Tennis Sanitation will work with the city and Ramsey County on improvements to the multi-family yearly recycling letter. ▪ Tennis made the requested updates to the annual multi-family recycling letters. The changes are reflected in the 2025 multi-family letters, mailed in February. c. Multi-Family Recycling Dumpsters and BizRecycling: The contract allows multi-family properties with 21 units or more to convert to the collection of recycling in recycling dumpsters, instead of recycling carts. Tennis Sanitation will assist the city in notifying multi-family properties of this opportunity and working with BizRecycling to make improvements to properties’ recycling program. ▪ Tennis continued to work with the city and BizRecycling throughout the year. 5. 2025 SCORE Agreement Work Plan: Assist the City in addressing items listed on the 2025 SCORE Agreement. - Tennis continued to assist and work with the city in addressing items listed on the 2025 SCORE Agreement. pg. 13 2025 MARKET REPORT We came into 2025 with a steady recycling market. However, fiber grades began to gradually decline starting in May and continued to drop throughout the year. The plastic market is, as always, a roller coaster. We experienced a large drop in both PET and HDPE in August, with low fluctuations through the end of the year. Metal continues to be the steadiest recyclable material with the least fluctuations, and the glass market remains unchanged. With 2025 having been a weak retail year, a lower recycling market is to be expected. 2026 OUTLOOK As we move into 2026, we remain hopeful that the fiber and plastic markets will begin to improve and be driven by new technology, circular economy mandates and company commitments to using recycled materials. We are thankful for the long-standing relationships we have with our partners that allow us to steadily move materials to the next phase of their recycling journey, despite fluctuation and uncertainty in market demands. We are excited to have been able to improve our glass recovery process in addition to new arrangements with our glass processor. With these improvements, we can now recover and send a higher volume of glass that includes smaller material which was previously not accepted for recycling. While there is still a quality-based charge for local glass processing, we are happy to see more material being recycled. pg. 14 RESIDUALS Residuals consisted of items such as Styrofoam, foam, shoes, diapers, and general garbage. 2025: Residuals are up to 88.92 tons from last year 2024: Residuals are down to 80.08 tons from last year 2023: Residuals are down to 76.59 tons from last year 2022: Residuals are down to 108.17 tons from last year 2021: Residuals are down to 114.83 tons from last year 2020: Residuals are up to 131.71 tons from last year 2019: Residuals are down to 60.49 tons from last year 2018: Residuals are up to 62.54 tons from last year 2017: Residuals are up to 61.69 tons from last year 2016: Residuals are up to 38.59 tons from last year 2015: Residuals are down to 29.38 tons from last year 2014: Residuals are 29.36 tons TRUCK WEIGHTS During the 2025 Calendar year, our vehicles did not exceed the maximum loaded weight of 40,000 pounds when hauling the recyclables collected from the residents of Maplewood. Weight tickets are available on request. RECYCLING SERVICE FEE The recycling service fee for 2025 was $5.25 per unit, per month, and the fee for 2026 is $5.60 per unit, per month, which is based upon the contracted price. STORAGE OF EXTRA RECYCLABLE MATERIALS During the 2025 calendar year, our recycling facility had sorted all recyclable materials within 45 days of processing to recycling markets; with the exception of milk cartons and “rare type” plastics. Milk cartons are baled and stored until there is enough volume to meet the vendor's minimum shipping requirements, and "rare type" plastics are stored until a large enough quantity is available to make a mill-sized bale. pg. 15 SUMMARY OF YEAR-END RECYCLING REPORT The 2025 Maplewood year-end recycling report provides up-to-date information from the City’s recycling activities over the past year. Each section of this report reflects the various ways data was collected, entered and calculated to contribute to meeting our combined goals. In the report, we have illustrated the composition of recyclables and itemized volumes of recyclables from both single-family and multi-family dwellings as they relate to the break-out of each separate commodity. We also provide information on how the City's recycling efforts will impact our environment. This year, Maplewood’s participation rate was 99%. Both single-family tonnages and multi-family recycling volumes have remained steady and consistent with other municipalities. In 2026, we will maintain the comprehensive recycling program we offer with additional types of plastics, metals and linens. With the support of the city of Maplewood, we will maintain these high standards of recycling for single-family and multi-family dwellings. pg. 16 APPENDIX A - 2025 RECYCLING DATA SUMMARY - ALL pg. 17

Church 1338 Point Douglas Rd S Maplewood Please thank your driver for his above and beyond service to our church. We really appreciate it! 4/29/25 Carole (per Shann) 2546 Idaho Ave E Maplewood Carole wanted to report that she appreciates the teamwork happening amongst the drivers for the walk up service. The first driver there would walk both carts to the curb. Tip their cart. Then the next driver would tip their cart and walk both carts back up. A good report of team work amongst the haulers. Thank you! City of Maplewood Trash and Yard Waste Collection Year End Report 2025 Attachment 2 Dear City of Maplewood, We are excited to provide the 2025 City of Maplewood and Republic Services Year End Report. In this annual report you will find the required and necessary reports for the City of Maplewood’s trash and yard waste collection. Including the year end tonnages and the 2025 Work Plan Priorities with detailed progress made on each initiative. We value the partnership with the City of Maplewood and look forward to continuing to provide service reliability, simple solutions, and environmental responsibility going into 2026. Warm wishes, Bev Mathiasen Frances Estrella Environmental services for a more sustainable world.

This platform/app allows users to monitor their service status, including whether they have missed a scheduled service or still have time to place their items out. As the program is currently in its early stages, you can view only the percentage of the route that has been completed. •In March, Republic Services launched our Midwest polymer center in Indianapolis, with the third and fourth centers scheduled to be announced soon. We are transforming plastics circularity, from curbside collection to consumer packaging and back again.Currently, 80% of our plastics collected in the Twin Cities and surrounding areas are processed through our polymer center with anticipation of reaching 100% over the next 1.5 years.Our HDPE (milk & detergent bottles) are expected to be recycled 6 to 7 times, and our process returns them to store shelves in as little as 120 days! The Coca-Cola Company, one of our first customers, has committed to using at least 50% recycled material in its packaging by 2030 and more brands are coming on board. •In 2026, we are focused on advancing innovations to deliver cleaner products and recover more materials. We continue to upgrade our recycling facility. We are currently adding another optical sorter and film removal system to reduce residual waste and improve material capture and quality. We are also engineering new solutions—leveraging robotics and advanced optical sorting.
