Real Results
One year into a Cart Launch: Lessons Learned
From Samantha Yager, Recycling Coordinator for the City of Columbia, South Carolina.

Biggest Surprise: We did not expect a huge jump in recovery immediately, but are already seeing about 100 extra tons per month.

Best Communications: Postcards and cart bags top to the list. We knew each resident would receive them, and we received a lot of eager phone calls as a result of the postcards.

Tallest Hurdle: Community decision makers – they have to be on board early! We delivered numerous presentations on the finances, benefits, and the whole process. We showed that this was the best option for Columbia, and they signed on.

Top Tech: RFID tags, hands down. The hard numbers help us get more grant and education dollars.

Greatest Success: 40,000 carts delivered in only 13 days. The delivery company was great, and residents were happy.

Recycling has many points of contact. Have you ever thought about recycling from the mindset of consumer packaged goods companies? Or retailers? Or others far away on the supply chain? What are their motivators, concerns, innovations, and measures of success? How can you work with them to make recycling better as a system?

A large part of our work is to connect the pieces for a more streamlined system. Join us as we explore these questions at SustPack 2016<http://recyclingpartnership.us8.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=e83197e33007df6b4ecffd54f&id=0de9184719&e=05c332b01c> – a leading corporate sustainability conference – where Keefe Harrison will be sharing our stories in a session titled Cities That Lead. As always, we ask the tough questions, share viewpoints, swap stories, and build bridges across the supply chain.
