Waste Diversion & Reduction Toolkits

Practical solutions you can use right away—whether you run a facility or recycle at home.

We identified the most common waste diversion, reduction, and management challenges and developed clear, easy-to-use toolkits for Transfer Station, Recycling Center, and Solid Waste Operators, as well as the residents they serve.

The Waste Diversion & Reduction Toolkits are designed with small, rural communities in mind—particularly those using source-separated recycling—but they are available and relevant to all programs. With resources for both operators and residents, many topics also apply to single- and dual-stream recycling systems.

WHAT IS INSIDE EACH TOOLKIT?

Most toolkits include a short video overview highlighting key takeaways—ideal if you’re short on time. Many also have a one-page printable summary with essential information, resources, case studies, and materials to support implementation.
