How to Conduct Effective Recycling Outreach to K-12 Schools - and WHY! Learn how schools play an important role in recycling programs.
Have you ever done recycling outreach to your local school district? Are you wondering why would I even bother, or why it has BEEN a bother when you have tried? This workshop was designed to help responsible units, municipalities and haulers realize the benefits of working with local schools to strengthen residential and business recycling programs. Learn how to save community tax dollars by partnering through hauling contracts, merchant MRF tonnage, and resources for school administrators, maintenance staff and classroom teachers. Find out how some of our AROW member communities have made this happen.

Techniques for Commercial Recovery and Recycling of Food Scraps
The amount of food that gets wasted every year is staggering. According to the U.S. EPA, food scraps are the largest component of the waste stream by weight in the United States (EPA). In 2008, there were 32 million tons of food scraps, or 12.7% of America’s total municipal solid waste stream. Of that, only 3% was recovered or recycled; the remaining 31 million tons were thrown in landfills or incinerators.
In an effort to change this negative trend, there are a growing number of opportunities to recover and recycle food scraps. This webinar will explore three different techniques for approaching food waste recycling, particularly from a commercial perspective.
