Clark County Green Business is hosting a three-part virtual workshop series this spring focused on waste reduction.

The workshop series includes:

• Washington State Sustainability Initiatives, 8:30 am Wednesday, March 16
• Nothing Goes “Away”: Sustainable Waste Management, 8:30 am Wednesday, April 20
• Handling Hazardous Materials, 8:30 am Wednesday, May 11

The first session, Washington State Sustainability Initiatives, will feature a presentation by representatives from the Washington State Department of Ecology on new statewide waste-reduction laws and mandates, including Single-Use Serviceware Law, Single-Use Plastic Bag Ban, and the Use Food Well Washington Plan.

The second session, Nothing Goes “Away”: Sustainable Waste Management, will explore what it means to throw something away, and what happens to materials after they’re thrown in the trash. The session will cover the recycling process and common waste misconceptions and provide actionable steps to generate less waste in a business.

The final session will focus on hazardous materials with another presentation from Department of Ecology. The workshop will explain hazardous waste, how to manage and dispose of it, and how to reduce the amount generated.

Pre-registration for each session is required. Visit the Clark County Green Business website for more information.
