EPA Waste Links

US EPA has a number of important programs and resources for any business or individual who is trying to measure or trash waste in order to reduce or divert more waste. 

 

WasteWise is one of these programs. Waste industry and members of the public use EPA's volume-to-weigh conversion factors whenever they are estimating the weight of a waste stream from the volume of a container. If you operate a facility that generates a lot of food waste, check out EPA's Food Recovery Challenge and consider joining the hundreds of other companies and institutions that are participating.
