Overview: Nationally, about 50 percent of a typical property's waste stream is recyclable, not including food wastes. That means most lodging facilities generate sufficient amounts of recyclable materials to justify recycling. Add conventions and meetings to the mix, and the recycling potential skyrockets. Even for facilities that are smaller or do not serve food, talking with the city or county recycling coordinator can help find new ways to reduce wastes. This fact sheet explains systematic how to start recycling in your facility. It provides a list of questions for potential contractors, identifies materials that can be collected, and suggests ways to design the collection process.
