TIMELY TOPICS CLOSING DUMPSITES

The world’s most polluted places include the 50 biggest dumpsites. They need to be replaced with environmentally sound and safe waste management facilities that will provide green jobs and better living conditions to millions of people. ISWA leads the way with a call to action. How will you answer the call?

MARINE LITTER

Finding ways to deal with marine litter is an “end-of-pipe” solution, but much more needs to be done to prevent litter before it becomes a problem. In Baltimore, home of the “Trash Wheel”, ISWA will release a report on the positive contributions of integrated solid waste management to marine litter prevention. How will you conserve and protect your waterways?

TIMELY TOPICS SMART TECHNOLOGIES

Success in the waste industry depends on evolving technology. Social networks impact consumer and business behavior. Sensors, cameras and other equipment gather “big data” that require specialized analysis to be useful. New workforce skills are needed to take advantage of advancements, and those skills are in demand by other industries. How can you keep up?

It’s time to get back to the basics of good recycling.

The fact is that some recycling actions make a bigger impact than others. So please remember these three basic rules the next time you recycle:

1 Recycle all empty plastic bottles, cans, paper and cardboard.

2 Keep food and liquid out of your recycling.

3 Empty recyclables directly into your cart. NO bagged recyclables. Return plastic bags to a local grocer.

By following these three simple rules, you can have a big impact on the sustainability of recycling. Find more recycling resources like posters, bin labels, videos and activities at
