    Webinar: Implementing Centralized Waste Collections

    Centralized collection arrangements that shift responsibility for handling personal waste from custodians to individuals can dramatically improve office waste diversion but implementing them requires careful planning.  This webinar will feature private and public sector case studies describing important steps, from setting up pilot tests to engaging stakeholders and creating a roll out communication plan.
