Has anyone worked with a recycling/resource recovery consulting firm that you would reccomend?

We are considering systemic changes to our current recycling system and collection processes.  I would love to hear from anyone who has had experience working with outside professionals to improve campus recycling systems.

 

Thanks,

One place to look for potential companies could be the waste section of AASHE's Business Product & Services Directory.

I caught the tail end of a presentation with IRN – The Recycling Network and Columbia University at GreenBuild that gets at your question. The presentation was focused on C&D recycling and illustrates a campus working with an outside professional successfully.
I'd suggest following up with Nilda Mesa at Columbia (who presented in the above) to learn more about their experience. www.environment.columbia.edu
