Recycling

Recycling is the process of collecting and processing materials that would otherwise be thrown away as waste and turning them into new products and materials, which is critically important to reducing waste, preventing the extraction of virgin resources and achieving a circular economy. While recycling conserves resources and reduces emissions, it should be viewed as a last resort after reusing and repurposing materials.  

Blue Action: Recycle and divert materials from landfill for their “highest and best use” with approved waste haulers. 

This includes having the proper bin design with relevant, clear signage and a sorting program.

“Highest and best use” defined by the TRUE Zero Waste certification.

*Note: material streams will be based on available infrastructure in your region and from your waste hauler.
