HRSD Recycling by the Numbers

COMMUNITY CENTERRecycling & ReusingAug 10, 2016Guest Contributor

Author: Guest Contributor

Each year the HRSD Sustainability Advocacy Group reports recycling data to HRPDC which is then compiled into a large report on the “State of Recycling” in the region. The table below shows the amount of recycled materials HRSD reported to HRPDC for 2015. The materials recovered include the normal waste produced in every office like plastic bags and mixed recycling (paper, cans, etc.) and industrial supplies like lab plastics, metals and automotive supplies. HRSD personnel do a great job of finding avenues for recycling unused material and are always looking for more suggestions! As you can see, businesses and other big operations are uniquely positioned to make a big difference when it comes to waste reduction. How does your business reduce, reuse or recycle?
