Join metroSTOR for NERC Webinar: Building Better Systems: Infrastructure That Drives Recycling Behavior

How better infrastructure can remove barriers, reduce contamination, and improve recycling and organics participation.

metroSTOR is proud to sponsor an upcoming NERC webinar, Building Better Systems: Infrastructure That Drives Recycling Behavior, taking place on May 7 from 1:30 – 3:00 PM ET.

This timely session will explore a simple but important truth: while education builds awareness, it is infrastructure that makes better recycling and composting behavior easier, more consistent, and more likely to last.

Too often, programs struggle not because people do not care, but because the system around them creates friction. Poor access, confusing set-ups, contamination risks, and limited accountability all undermine participation. Better infrastructure helps remove those barriers and creates the conditions for cleaner streams and stronger program performance.

The webinar will feature insights from leaders working directly on successful food waste diversion initiatives:

• Ashlea Sabeti-Smith, Washington, DC 
• Jen Heaton-Jones, HRRA 
• Nigel Deacon, metroSTOR 
• Moderator: Chris Snow, USCC
