Business Recycling Resources Pilot Program Review

Program Structure The Program focused on three primary areas: 1. Recycling Services: Businesses must have the appropriate recycling services contracted or made available to them based on the waste they generate. 2. Training and Education: Once proper services are available, all employees should be trained on how to recycle correctly when on-boarded and receive training throughout their employment. 3. Rethinking and Reducing Waste: All businesses can rethink and reduce the waste they generate by sourcing reusable materials, utilizing refill options and updating systems to minimize waste. A suite of information and customized tools were developed for the Program focusing on these primary areas. City staff reached out to a variety of businesses to provide advice and recommendations using these tools to support commercial recycling approaches. City staff worked with the businesses directly or provided the information for independent self-guided learning and application: ¢ Toolkit: A nine-part instructional guide available in English, Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese, providing regulatory guidelines, best practices for businesses and property managers and an overview on assessing generated waste.
