Focus on convenience centers
Residents generates approximately 34.1% of waste
Industry is the next largest producer of recyclable
materials
Local government is the last potential group targeted
for waste reduction and recycling training
We continue to do industry audits were a trained
county employee will visit the industry and all waste
reduction and recycling items will be recorded
Targeted items will include foam, plastic wrap/packaging,
paper, cardboard, metal, and pallets
This will help reduce waste and save the industry
money and save the county space in the transfer trailers |
