Conducted by SWANA, the comprehensive Managing Recycling Systems course that Ms. Davis successfully completed positions solid waste management professionals as recognized resources to design and develop sustainable recycling programs.
The program focuses on recycling materials found in municipal solid waste (MSW) generated from residential, commercial, and institutional sources and provides information on successfully planning, developing, marketing, and managing recycling programs. It also addresses collection, processing, application of end-use standards, and protecting human health and the environment.
