“The Future of Office Waste & Recycling Collections”

Original air date: February 17th, 2021

Description:

Office recycling programs have existed for decades, yet many struggle to capture even half of the recoverable items in the waste stream. In recent years, however, leading universities, corporations, and government agencies have shown how modernizing outdated waste and recycling collections systems can remove structural barriers to achieving 75% or higher diversion from office settings.

This webinar features a panel of experts sharing best practice trends and case studies on topics including centralized collection arrangements, food organics recovery, employee engagement, and custodial contract language to support waste recovery. The program includes a discussion about adapting waste collections to COVID-19 conditions.
