Once you’ve determined the best outlet for the recyclable materials, you can work on the details of putting a program together. Draft a preliminary budget and plan for material collection. No matter your type of facility—office building, school, hospital, church, sport field, recreation building or entertainment venue—building/event management and/or property owners should participate in organizing the budget plan. Consider the roles of facility staff, vendors, and volunteers at venues and events and key upper management should also be involved when making decisions at institutions. Participation of the person who signs off on collection contracts is critical in all cases since you may need to hire a collection vendor or change your hauling contract. Remember that recycling should reduce the waste stream, so you may be able to reduce frequency of trash pick-ups or the size of your disposal containers and then allocate the savings toward recyclables collection.
