-
Partnering with SF Environment

Set up recycling and composting bins in strategic locations, provided by SF Environment, for successful participation
-
Request free color-coded stickers and signs to post on and above bins
-
Email SF Environment to request a zero waste presentation for your office
-
-
Improving and monitoring zero waste programs
-
Audit bins and identify locations where there is significant contamination
-
Make sure recycling, composting and trash bins are next to each other
-
Notify colleagues of new programs
-
Remind colleagues to reduce, reuse, recycle and compost
-
Email SF Environment to set up a site visit, get support or gain inspiration to improve programs
-
-
Attending annual workshop

Workshops are held once per year in January or February and are an important way for Coordinators to get updates on programs and learn new skills

Coordinators have the opportunity to meet fellow Coordinators to share challenges and solutions
-
-
Submitting an annual survey

The annual zero waste survey is simple to complete and helps SF Environment get the most up-to-date information on departmental zero waste programs
