Once your team sets measurable goals, it is time to launch your
WasteWise program. Many successful programs begin with an organization-wide
kickoff event. These events provide an opportunity for your organization's
leaders to encourage participation and explain what your program
seeks to accomplish. The resources below will help you implement
your program.
