Community Engagement

Drive participation by designing programs around how people actually recycle. We combine behavior science, field-tested strategies, and clear communications to increase participation, reduce contamination, and build lasting trust in the recycling system.

Program Design and Strategy

  • Education and outreach program design aligned with EPR requirements or state recycling goals  
  • Behavior-informed engagement strategies grounded in field-tested insights  
  • Audience segmentation and empathetic messaging to reach diverse communities  
  • Clear, consistent communications that build trust and reduce contamination 

Activation and Delivery

  • Community-based activation strategies that meet residents where they are  
  • Scalable outreach campaigns across single-family, multifamily, and drop-off programs 

Testing and Optimization

  • Pilot design, testing, and refinement to improve participation and contamination outcomes 

Partnership and System Alignment

  • Partnership development with local governments, haulers, and community organizations to strengthen system-wide trust and alignment
