WASTE REDUCTION:
The Recycling Council of Ontario (RCO) is a not-for-profit organization
committed to minimizing society’s impact on the environment by eliminating
waste. Waste Reduction week will be held in Canada from October 18-24
and the theme will be “Too Good to Waste”.
The RCO will be providing small/medium sized businesses with “Business
Resourse Kits”, containing specific information, resources and tools
to better guide and support the reduced costs and liabilities that careful
environmental practices can bring. |
These kits also include tools
to help businesses begin to implement waste assessment and waste reduction
action plans. In addition, and most importantly, the tools provided help
to demonstrate and track potential dollars saved.
During the entire month of October, one day assessments will be offered
to introduced companies to the concepts of waste reduction and the auditing
process. Companies who register for this FREE Waste Assessment
