Unit Overview
Unit Title
Keeping Homes, Schools and Communities Healthy through Proper Waste Management
Unit Summary
The purpose is to provide basic information and ideas on a waste reduction, reuse, recycling,
composting and buying recycled products and packaging programs for your schools, homes and
communities. Although recycling is an important part of any waste management strategy, the
greatest environmental benefits are achieved through source reduction and reuse. Consider a simple
example; we can reduce trash disposal and save raw materials if we collect plastic grocery bags for
recycling and incorporate them into a new product such as plastic lumber. However, a better option
would be to take no bag at all, as no natural resources or energy are used to first produce, then
collect and reprocess disposable bags. Using a reusable canvas or string bag would have similar
environmental benefits as the bag could replace thousands of disposable bags over its useful life. Any
organization reviewing their waste management strategy should first consider ways to reduce waste
and incorporate reusable products to achieve the maximum benefit to the environment.
