Key Steps: Adopting a Recycling Program

Step 6:
Set Your Waste Reduction Goals

 

The next step is to define your waste reduction goals. Start with a small, manageable recycling project. Remember to first consider activities that actually prevent waste from being generated. Then, examine the waste that is generated to determine which materials could be collected for recycling. Several small successful pilot projects will help you gain additional support and credibility. Then you can expand your program little by little over a period of time, such as three to five years depending on resources for containers and other company goals.
