Sponsored by APWA's Solid Waste Management Committee Pierce County, Washington, Public Works and Utilities has implemented a Waste Trends Analysis tool to conduct an annual audit using departmental staff rather than outsourced professionals to sort garbage. This has influenced how project coordinators, environmental educators, and other staff talk and think about waste and resources and how to better promote, design, and measure programs. 

Learning Objectives:

  1. Design and deploy an assessment of solid waste being disposed using in-house assets.
  2. Apply data to regularly analyze success of current waste reduction, recycling, and diversion programs and influence future program design.
  3. Integrate data collection and analysis into the core knowledge base of staff.

SPEAKERS:

Travis Dutton
Waste Reduction Program Coordinator,  City of Beaverton,  Beaverton,  OR

Steve C. Wamback, MPA, PWLF
SUSTAINABLE RESOURCES ADMINISTRATOR, Pierce County Public Works & Utilities,  Tacoma,  WA
