Innovations: Analysis of Successful Local Programs

In March 2000, the Board presented the "Innovations" video conference to 
showcase successful recycling and waste reduction programs developed by 
local and regional jurisdictions to achieve California's 50 percent waste 
diversion goals.

The programs featured in the videoconference were reviewed and analyzed, 
and 24 studies were prepared to highlight successful model programs in 
reuse, recycling, composting, and other areas of waste management. These 
programs can be examples for other cities, counties, and regional agencies 
in California, as well as other states, provinces, or countries.

Most of the case studies are available in summary format; full-length case 
studies (marked with a F) will go on-line as they become available.  The 
case studies fall into these general categories:

Commercial/government sector
Community/residential sector
Material specific
Specific successful programs
