Let's Talk About Recycling and Accessibility |
|
In July, the Nebraska Recycling Council hosted a webinar on accessibility and recycling. This webinar featured two panelists, Hillary Scanlon, Founder and CEO of STILSOLUTIONS in Toronto, Canada, and Gloria Eddins, the ADA Coordinator for the State of Nebraska. This is an important topic for the recycling industry to consider, and we are thrilled with the value of information our panelists brought to the table.

Workshop Sessions Sneak Peek |
"Implementing Policy to Influence Recycling and Resource Management"
There are a range of policies to reduce consumption and increase recycling, including extended producer responsibility, landfill bans, deposit laws, and Buy Recycled Campaigns. Learn how they work and their impact in states across the country.
"Environmental Wellness for the Workplace"
Environmental wellness initiatives can support a culture of safety and wellbeing in the workplace, and foster a sense of stewardship and sustainability that has far-reaching benefits. This presentation will explore how recycling programs at work impact overall wellness, and how to implement sustainability initiatives to support lifestyle choices that lead to better stewardship of not only individual wellbeing but also the planet's.
"Composting for Small to Mid-size Municipalities and Transfer Stations"
Organic materials such as wood waste, yard trimmings, and food scraps are expensive to dispose of and can be turned into a lucrative product for resource managers. This session will demonstrate options that small to mid-size municipalities and transfer stations have in processing this product for the benefit of their communities.
"Best Practices for Rural Recycling Systems"
Participants will learn about creative partnerships, funding resources and strategies, communication with residents and organizations, and the economic benefits to a rural recycling program.
