Recycling collection programs are not static and require periodic adjustments over time. Whether to reinvigorate stagnant recovery rates, reduce contamination, or simply adjust to changing conditions, it’s important for programs to evolve over time.

This free webinar (recorded live) featured two different approaches to optimizing material recovery programs. The first was presented by Zabble, featuring a case study from a university and healthcare setting that used technology and data tracking to right size bin infrastructure, improve signage, and address operational issues. The second presentation, from HSR Zero Waste, looked at the experience of a convention center to illustrate the potential to improve material quality and reduce cost by shifting to source segregated collection streams and onsite pre-sorting arrangement.
