Go Green, Save Green, Business Recycling Workshop

Join Wake County on Monday, October 15, 2001 from 7:30 AM – 5:00 PM at
the
Sheraton Imperial in Research Triangle Park for a one-day recycling
workshop for builders/contractors, hotel managers/restaurant owners and
office managers/industry officials.

Around 70% of Wake County's waste stream comes from the commercial
sector.
Because of this, Wake County is aggressively targeting businesses to
reduce, reuse and recycle waste.

About the Workshop
This workshop is planned to provide assistance to businesses to help
improve the bottom line while at the same time reducing their trash.

Topics to be covered include:
1. Background information on the non-regulatory EPA program -Waste Wise,

2. Local business recycling programs,
3. Waste prevention ideas,
4. Establishing a recycling/reuse program,
5. Purchasing environmentally preferable products,
6. Reducing energy costs through energy efficiency, and
7. How to promote to the public and educate employees about a recycling
program.

Who should attend?
This workshop will benefit Builders, Contractors, Hotel Managers,
Restaurant Owners, Office Managers and Industry Officials. The
introductory session will be of interest to all, while the three
breakout
sessions will offer more in depth information for each sector.

This workshop is being coordinated with help from the NC Division of
Pollution Prevention and Environmental Assistance, EPA WasteWise, and
RTP
Recycles.
