[Ellen Bussert]

One of the many challenges of operating a successful recycling program is
that each program seems to have different rules.  When people move from one
community to another, in many cases, they find recycling guidelines are
different.  This webinar will address the positive impact of
neighboring communities and recycling programs working together to make it
easier for the public to recycle.

*Free*
 For decades we’ve relied on individual communities to design their own
recycling programs with little or no consideration for neighboring efforts.
The result is a disjointed system of inconsistent recycling guidelines,
mismatched terminology and chaotic branding that feeds public confusion and
distrust. Recognizing the problem, a growing number of public and
private-sector stakeholders are stepping out of their silos to coordinate
“harmonized” program rules and messaging across entire regions.

This program will combine a primer with case study examples of
harmonization efforts. In addition to reviewing best practices, it will
spotlight an Oregon initiative to develop consistent rules and signage for
multi-family housing recycling as well as a council of government (COG)-led
regional education campaign in Texas.
