Reducing the volume of waste generated at your school is a win-win situation. Among the many benefits are:

• A reduction in the fees associated with waste transportation and disposal
• Greater protection of the environment (e.g., by requiring less off-site disposal/treatment)

Additionally, many cities and towns are establishing or strengthening community-based recycling programs that make waste reduction easier. You’ll be demonstrating an interest in responding to the demands of stakeholders, community neighbors, local residents and others by adopting waste reduction practices.
