Capture Rate Analysis and Recycling Plan

DSM worked with the City of Boston to improve recycling rates. Initial work concentrated on detailed sorting of curbside refuse and recyclables to determine the capture rate for recyclables, and the extent of contamination of recyclables set out for recycling. DSM then worked with the Department of Public Works and the Mayor's office to finalize a comprehensive strategic recycling plan for the City, including short and long term goals for multi-family recycling, leaf and yard waste collection, reuse, and management of unregulated hazardous waste.
