Project Overview

The videoconference highlights local government successes and model programs in reuse, recycling and composting. The programs highlighted in the conference apply to all cities, counties and regional agencies in California, as well as other states, provinces or countries.

The programs featured in the videoconference were reviewed and analyzed, and 24 studies were prepared to highlight successful model programs in reuse, recycling, composting, and other areas of waste management. These programs can be examples for other cities, counties, and regional agencies in California, as well as other states, provinces, or countries. 

Topic areas include:

• Organics reuse, recycling, and composting.
• Construction and demolition debris recycling and "deconstruction."
• Reuse programs.
• Residential and commercial recycling.
• Market development.
