[GreenYes] Getting Haulers to Recycle More

["Brewer, Gretchen \(DEP\)" <Gretchen.Brewer@no.address>]

MassDEP is conducting a brief informal survey of states, counties and
municipalities that regulate, permit, or have voluntary agreements with
solid waste and recycling haulers aimed at getting haulers and their
customers, especially commercial generators, to recycle more.  What are
the requirements or choices haulers have within these models relative
to: outreach and education to customers on recycling requirements;
providing incentives (such as rebates and revenue/profit sharing based
on commodity sales); reporting to customers and/or agencies on amounts
recycled, composted, or trashed; providing recycling services (such as
parallel access); and any other thoughts.  We are currently working on
exploring the possibility of a voluntary certification program for
haulers and these examples would be helpful for us.  Thanks.
