Upcoming Webinar Series: Government Support for Community Composting 

Are you a local government interested in reducing and recycling wasted food and curious to learn how you can help spur community-scale composting? Or a community-oriented composter or micro hauler searching for public-private partnerships? This three-part webinar series, organized by The Institute for Local Self-Reliance, will focus on cities that are providing community-scale composting with a wide range of support.

Webinars are May 4, June 8, and June 23, 2022.

This free webinar is co-sponsored by the Northeast Waste Management Officials' Association (NEWMOA), the Northeast Recycling Council (NERC), and the West Coast Climate and Materials Management Forum (WCCMMF).

EPR proposals for managing used gas cylinders are emerging in the U.S. This webinar will cover the growing issue of discarded gas cylinders, why EPR can be a solution, a recent report on this topic, and how Canadian EPR programs work.

There are many opportunities for commercial and institutional generators to reduce their food waste. This webinar will feature information on available tools and strategies for these generators. The presenters will share case studies highlighting effective approaches as well as lessons they have learned.

Think you know your waste stream?  Or what’s been causing more contamination?  Strong interest in a December 2021 National ZW Conference session indicated a more in-depth webinar on these topics were warranted.  This webinar drills down into recent shifts in waste characterization, and successful strategies for addressing contamination. 

The National Recycling Coalition will highlight the results of research it has been conducting on the availability of Federal funding for waste reduction, reuse, recycling and composting. This webinar will include Requests for Proposals (RFPs) currently underway at the US Environmental Protection Agency and the Economic Development Administration. It will also provide an update on when regulations and RFPs to implement the new Infrastructure funding adopted by Congress will be available.
