2 | Getting more out of existing programs at the Resource Recycling Conference

Few if any recycling collection systems have been able to maximize recovery levels. Rather than spend money to bring recycling service to new audiences, the Curbside Value Partnership urges local programs to first boost recovery volumes from existing customers. Steve Thompson of CVP will provide specific advice, based on the group's extensive research, into the low-cost educational and promotional techniques and tricks used by successful programs to boost participation and generate more recovery. Thompson's comprehensive trends analysis will be complemented with recent case studies, and attendees of this engaging presentation will walk away with tools for improving their own local programs through education.
