Leaning into the System and Learning from Each Other

It’s been 10 years since the onset of the Act 148 Disposal Ban and many folks are coming up with creative ways to comply! This VORS 2024 session looks at the work that solid waste management entities (SWMEs) have undertaken to support organics diversion from small businesses and includes discussion with participants about their observations, successes, and challenges.

Celebrate the steps taken by businesses and learn how propping up and promoting the good deeds being done in your community today will help others understand their options for smart diversion for the future and to realize that there are many ways to successfully divert organics for higher and better uses.
