L• <br />Education <br />Education is a key component of any successful waste <br />reduction program. Our "Paper Back" education efforts have <br />included mailing handouts to "Paper Back " - monitors for <br />posting. Many employees, therefore, do not see the handouts <br />and remain uneducated. We propose the following for <br />addressing this need: <br />* Estabish a waste reduction training program for all <br />County employees. Public Works Staff will train <br />selected county employees about all aspects of our <br />"Paper Back" program. Selected employees will then <br />train employees in their department. A major <br />component of the training session will be waste <br />reduction at the source, or ways to generate less <br />waste or rec_yclables in County offices. <br />Training sessions will be provided for all County <br />employees. Trainers will schedule sessions for their <br />departments. <br />A program monitor will be appointed by each <br />department head to monitor the "Paper Back" system. <br />!this could be the trainer, as selected above). It <br />will be the responsibility of the program monitor to <br />actively pursue maximum waste reduction and recycling <br />for his/her department. Program monitors will <br />periodically check individual garbage containers for <br />recyclable materials. All information on recycling <br />and waste reduction will be filtered through program <br />monitors who will be responsible for the education of <br />their department. <br />Orange County is in the process of moving many of its offices <br />because of the completion of the new Government Services <br />building. It would be wise, therefore, to implement our plan <br />for enhanced inter office waste reduction after the moves are <br />completed. With approval of the orange County Commissioners, <br />implementation will take place during the winter of 1992. <br />
