Download or read book Increasing Recycling in California written by Julia Mariel Dolloff and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By 2025, California must achieve a 75 percent organics recycling target. To achieve this target, local governments will soon be tasked with implementing organic waste recycling programs to divert food waste. This thesis attempts to determine the most effective education and outreach efforts jurisdictions should use to encourage the residential sector, which includes single and multi-family residences, to participate in food waste recycling programs. In this study, I conducted a case study review of six jurisdictions in the Bay Area that have implemented food waste recycling programs in the residential sector. These jurisdictions differed in the use of education and outreach methods, thus providing opportunities to assess which methods are more or less effective. To conduct this assessment, I interviewed jurisdiction recycling program coordinators, solid waste haulers, other organizations, and CalRecycle staff. I also reviewed and analyzed publicly available outreach materials from the jurisdictions, haulers, and other organizations. Based on the findings of my study, I provide the following recommendations regarding best practices that jurisdictions should consider when conducting outreach to residences: 1) Continue prioritizing direct contact efforts. Explore door-to-door outreach to expand education to multi-family residences. 2) Electronic platforms should be used to maximize outreach. 3) Messaging should include an extensive overview of the mechanics of recycling, information on how recycling relates to broader social issues, the use of universal images, and language translation. 4) Metrics should be developed to assess how outreach efforts affect recycling and participation rates. 5) Jurisdictions should partner with other organizations to conduct and evaluate outreach efforts.

Download or read book Urban Recycling and the Search for Sustainable Community Development written by Adam S. Weinberg and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2000-07-24 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More Americans recycle than vote. And most do so to improve their communities and the environment. But do recycling programs advance social, economic, and environmental goals? To answer this, three sociologists with expertise in urban and environmental planning have conducted the first major study of urban recycling. They compare four types of programs in the Chicago metropolitan area: a community-based drop-off center, a municipal curbside program, a recycling industrial park, and a linkage program. Their conclusion, admirably elaborated, is that recycling can realize sustainable community development, but that current programs achieve few benefits for the communities in which they are located. The authors discover that the history of recycling mirrors many other urban reforms. What began in the 1960s as a sustainable community enterprise has become a commodity-based, profit-driven industry. Large private firms, using public dollars, have chased out smaller nonprofit and family-owned efforts. Perhaps most troubling is that this process was not born of economic necessity. Rather, as the authors show, socially oriented programs are actually more viable than profit-focused systems. This finding raises unsettling questions about the prospects for any sort of sustainable local development in the globalizing economy. Based on a decade of research, this is the first book to fully explore the range of impacts that recycling generates in our communities. It presents recycling as a tantalizing case study of the promises and pitfalls of community development. It also serves as a rich account of how the state and private interests linked to the global economy alter the terrain of local neighborhoods.

Download or read book Outsmart Waste written by Tom Szaky and published by Berrett-Koehler Publishers. This book was released on 2014-01-14 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever-expanding landfills, ocean gyres filled with floating plastic mush, endangered wildlife. Our garbage has become a massive and exponentially growing problem in modern society. Eco-entrepreneur Tom Szaky explores why this crisis exists and explains how can we solve it by eliminating the very idea of garbage. To outsmart waste, he says, we first have to understand it, then change how we create it, and finally rethink what we do with it. By mimicking nature and focusing on the value inherent in our by-products, we can transform the waste we can't avoid creating from useless trash to a useful resource. Szaky demonstrates that there is value in every kind of garbage, from used chewing gum to juice pouches to cigarette butts. After reading this mind-expanding book, you will never think about garbage the same way again.
