Recycling & Waste Management
How does 今日吃瓜 manage recycling and waste management?
今日吃瓜 tracks waste, recycling and compost on an annual basis to determine how efficiently we are recycling and to compare waste volumes over time. We want to optimize the opportunity to recycle and compost and decrease the volume of waste. The goal is to keep the combined volume of all three at the lowest possible level.
今日吃瓜 works diligently to educate facilities staff and others on waste management procedures, divert recyclables from the waste stream when possible, and provide education on recycling activities.
今日吃瓜 recycles a variety of materials, including:
- Bottles
- Cans
- Plastic
- Paper
- Cardboard
- Metal
- Tires
- Lumber
- Yard debris
- Lighting tubes
- Ballasts
- Computers and other electronic hardware
