- Summary:
-
Presented are recycling program alternatives, procedures for handling and marketing recyclable materials, and suggestions for financing and publicizing a recycling operation. This publication offers a general overview of the possibilities and potential pitfalls of recycling efforts, thereby serving as a catalyst and guide for organizations wishing to initiate recycling programs in their communities. Five chapters provide basic background information on: (1) markets; (2) models of operation; (3) handling, processing, equipment, and labor; (4) publicity and education; and (5) funding and business management. To demonstrate how the ideas and suggestions discussed can be put into operation, a case history of a Portland, Oregon recycling program is presented. In addition, a chapter on resources lists and briefly describes publications, films, and sources of information related to recycling. (WB)
