  1. Separating Recyclable Material and Hazardous Waste

  2. The Definitions • haz-er-duhs : full of risk; perilous; risky • ree-sahy-kuhl : to use again in the original form or with minimal alteration • Batteries in a landfill are considered hazardous because of harm they can cause if leeched into the ground water. • We recycle our aluminum. It is turned into another soda can, foil, or even airplanes.

  3. How we started • Made a plan • Educated the community • Kept it simple • Made it easy • Talk, talk, talk

  4. The Master Plan • Brainstorm at a meeting with your village. • What do they want to see? • Who will organize and run the program? • Start date? • Set goals.

  5. Never stop Educating • Explain the plan and the need for it. • Be patient. • Flyers, newsletters, websites, face to face. • Start kids when young. • What is Hazardous and what is not?

  6. Keep It Simple • Started with ALPAR’s Flying Cans Program. • Separating batteries from the Landfill. -even with out a set backhaul plan yet. • Easily accessible recycling stations.

  7. Easy Money • Kids made money on recycling aluminum. • Recycling was looked at as an opportunity, not a hindrance. • Zero start up cost.

  8. Talk Their Ears Off! • It’s easy to fall out of the recycling pattern. • Use any event possible to talk to your members. • Teach the kids, who will teach even the most stubborn parents. • Don’t point fingers, be negative, or discouraging.

  9. Storage & Shipping • Designate storage areas. • Properly packaged. • Well marked drop off spots. • Keep storage areas clean.
