Education
AROW focuses on developing and coordinating consistent recycling and waste reduction messages for the public as well as education resources and tools for members. The organization's statewide reach, in conjunction with state and local partners, ensures a comprehensive impact in Wisconsin.
AROW's Education priorities are:
- Consistent media messages, education and public relations templates, communication plans, and online resources for members and AROW's strategic partners to implement locally.
- A central repository and clearinghouse for already established education and outreach materials as well as guidance about development and implementation of best practices.
- Training and professional development opportunities for industry educators.
WORKSHOP
How to Conduct Effective Recycling Outreach to K-12 Schools - and WHY! Learn how schools play an important role in recycling programs.
Have you ever done recycling outreach to your local school district? Are you wondering why would I even bother, or why it has BEEN a bother when you have tried? This workshop was designed to help responsible units, municipalities and haulers realize the benefits of working with local schools to strengthen residential and business recycling programs. Learn how to save community tax dollars by partnering through hauling contracts, merchant MRF tonnage, and resources for school administrators, maintenance staff and classroom teachers. Find out how some of our AROW member communities have made this happen.
