Anne Robinson, Recycling Education Coordinator for the City of Savannah, will give a Recycling Education Presentation Tuesday, May 27 for the Savannah Chapter of the United States Green Building Council’s monthly meeting.
The presentation will introduce recycling as a market driven industry in order to explain why certain items are recyclable in some regions at particular times and not recyclable in others. In terms of local recycling; the presentation will cover where, what, and how citizens can recycle and explain the importance of recycling in Georgia for both economic and environmental reasons.
A review of the waste hierarchy will be included to remind the participants that recycling is only part of the equation in order to make a real impact on our waste disposal habits we must first intercept our trash by either limiting our consumption or reusing materials.
“Waste Disposal methods are rapidly changing in Savannah we must align our waste disposal habits with these changes in order to divert tonnage from the landfill and put our recyclable materials to good use,” Robinson said.
