[discussion] RecyclING Roundtable


For the last 3 years, several hundred companies have attended the Waste & Recycling Sense for Business seminars offered by the Cuyahoga County Solid Waste District. Those same businesses are invited to return and participate in a roundtable discussion to share your workplace progress with waste reduction and recycling. Any business that has attempted to implement a waste reduction and recycling program is welcome to attend.
