Any Washtenaw County business, school, governmental agency or non-profit can apply to be a Waste Knot partner.
Washtenaw County organizations that have waste management practices that incorporate the three key elements to a successful waste reduction and recycling program qualify.
The three key elements (referred to as the 3 P's) are:
If your organization does not meet one or all of the (3 P's), or we otherwise deem there to be enough room for improvement before you qualify as a Waste Knot partner, you may qualify instead for a Certificate of Merit designation. A Certificate of Merit designation is a temporary partnership that acknowledges your organization's commitment to waste reduction and recycling and to making the necessary changes to become a full partner.
The Solid Waste Program offers free, non-regulatory waste assessments and program development assistance to help organizations become Waste Knot Partners. All it takes is a phone call or an email to get the process started!
