  "Go Green, Save Green" Business Recycling Workshop

  When targeting certain waste streams for reduction, Wake County looks at
  what materials are disposed of in the landfill. Electronic waste accounts
  for an estimated 3%, food waste comprises 10%, and wood waste is nearly
  9% of the waste stream. Additionally, 70% of the County's waste comes
  from the commercial sector, so Wake County is aggressively targeting this
  area in an effort to reduce material going to the landfill.

  Due to these numbers, Wake County is sponsoring a second "Go Green, Save
  Green" Business Recycling Workshop to focus on diverting these materials.
  The workshop will be held on October 28 at the Wake County Commons
  Building and is open to all businesses that want to learn more about
  reducing, reusing and recycling waste.

  The upcoming workshop will contain three concurrent breakout sessions
  targeting three specific waste streams: electronics, food and pallets.
  Topics to be covered include:
  * Electronic Waste Policies, Legislation and Recycling Collection
  Programs,
  * Food Security: Sustainable Development of Local Food Systems (Recovery,
  Rescue, Recycling, Agriculture and Safety and Handling), and
  * Wood Pallet Use, Repair and Recycling.

  The workshop is being coordinated by Wake County with help from The
  Leaflight Inc., NC State University, and the Carolina Recycling
  Association. To find out more information about the workshop, register,
