Detailed Project Information
Description: The project looks to raise awareness about the recyclability of hard-to-recycle waste at the source through the distribution of postcards with the product being bought or received (e.g. dentist bags after tooth cleaning). The postcard includes information of where to recycle the waste. First phase is dental hygiene products (plastic toothbrushes, dental floss containers and empty toothpaste tubes).
Project Partners: Not specified.
Current Project Outcomes: Number of cards distributed; number of locations participating; amount of waste collected.
Long-Term Project Outcomes: Raise public awareness and increase the number of items being recycled; expand to cover other wastes (e.g. pet food bags at pet stores)
