In Search of a Recycling Pilot Program
Bringing recycling to the bars
In order to best understand the dynamics and impact on a bar through recycling glass in Lawrence, we are conducting a professional quantative and reliable waste audit evaluation and assessment case study. This is an ongoing program to collect data on the before state, during, and final state of a successful bar recycling program. We are particularly focusing on the economic factors. The data collected will contain an all-inclusive cost analysis and appropriately weigh the environmental impact. The end result will be clearly defined and easy to interpret for local bars in this area and will be crucial to our influence to persuade bars to implement similiar recycling strategies.
