Waste & Recycling Consulting

Great Forest's portfolio of waste and recycling consulting services assists clients in installing and maintaining a successful recycling program to keep costs down.

Already a leader for over 15 years, Great Forest has developed recycling programs for over a thousand of commercial properties, financial institutions, universities, municipalities and other organizations. Our programs focus on making recycling as easy as possible, while driving down the costs associated with waste removal. Our consulting services include:

• Waste Audits and Reporting
  Great Forest uses a hands-on approach to gather information about clients' waste handling procedures and volumes. We observe current waste practices, review waste removal contracts, assess staff and tenant needs and evaluate options available to the facility. We then provide recommendations to our client for recycling program design, steps for implementation, estimated costs (if any) and projected cost savings.
• Recycling Program Installation and Maintenance
  Great Forest trained staff install a recycling program based on our clients' individual needs that ensures compliance with local recycling regulations. We create instructional materials to educate staff, tenants, cleaners and management, and we post legally required signs in the appropriate areas. After the program is put in place, we regularly monitor program effectiveness and re-educate staff and new tenants as needed.
• Donation Assistance
  IN order to reduce waste, our donation assistance program helps clients donate unwanted but usable items for little to no cost. Tax-deductible donations to charities may be arranged. If you are a client interested in learning more about donating unwanted office items, please see our resources section, or contact your Great Forest representative with detailed information about the items available.
• Contract Negotiation
  Great Forest consultants are available to moderate any issues that may arise between clients and waste haulers and to secure the best price and service available by soliciting competitive bids or renegotiating with the incumbent hauler. For more information, please see our waste brokering services.
