About the Recycling IQ Kit
Contamination of the recycling stream is a continuing problem. Usually with the best of intentions, residents put materials into their bins that processing facilities are not equipped to handle.
The Recycling IQ Kit was developed to help cities and towns work with materials recycling facilities (MRFs) and haulers to:
- Better target education and outreach to the public,
- Give residents direct feedback at curbside or drop-off, and
- Track and report the results of these efforts.
The Recycling IQ Kit is open source and available for any city or town to use at any time.
