Educating Our Communities

Our Waste Zero education and outreach teams educate and inspire communities to recycle and compost.

Working closely with local community leaders, Recology Waste Zero teams contribute to our long-term goal of waste reduction. Teams evaluate community needs and educate residents and businesses on recycling and composting best practices through site visits and consultations, trainings and presentations, facility tours, and more.
