Working toward zero waste (or darn close)!
The DFW Zero Waste Alliance is a coalition of recycling advocates, forward-thinking business leaders and community members who are working to rethink the way we manage and dispose of valuable resources.
Through grassroots public education and advocacy, we will contribute to practices and innovations that will eventually reduce the waste we send to landfills by 90%.
The big picture, long-term goal to eliminate 90% of waste or more from landfills and incinerators is often called “Zero Waste.”
In most cities, it’s currently up to each apartment, condominium, or business owner to decide whether to provide recycling access for residents and tenants.
North Texas cities such as Fort Worth, Cedar Hill, Euless and Allen have launched multi-family recycling programs; we can learn from these examples and do the same throughout the Metroplex.
