metroSTOR to hold organics drop-off session at WASTECON

As more Americans and Canadians become interested in sustainability and concerned about climate change, innovative local governments are embracing drop off for food waste as a way to increase organics diversion and reduce their carbon footprint.

At this year’s WASTECON, join metroSTOR’s Nigel Deacon for a session on Getting Started with Organics: Embracing Community Drop-Off Sites. He will be joined by Christine McCoy (District of Columbia Department of Public Works, Office of Waste Diversion) and Domingo Morales (Compost Power).

In this session, Nigel, Christine and Domingo will be sharing how communities can successfully implement drop-off programs. You’ll also hear about how contamination can be eliminated by introducing controlled access with both coded and app-based locking systems like metroKEY. This innovative type of food waste diversion program will help attendees be Climate Champions and implement some of the goals in SWANA’s Strategic Plan. 

After attending this session, participants will be able to construct a basic business case for an organics drop-off program, apply basic recycling behavior change principles and assess emerging registration/access control technology. 

We look forward to seeing you there on Tuesday October 22, 3:15 PM – 4:00 PM (CDT) in Grapevine 4.

Come and see us throughout the expo next to the Theatre at booth 218. We’ll also be highlighting our user-friendly containment solutions for trash, recycling and organics. See how you can encourage on-the-go waste diversion and help to secure commercial waste and to keep streets clean and safe.

WASTECON 2024 is the premier platform for both leaders and engineers to converge, collaborate, and innovate towards a more sustainable future. An opportunity to bridge the gap between leadership and technology, WASTECON 2024 is your best bet when it comes to accelerating transformative change in the field of solid waste and resource management.
