Developing a
Sustainable Future
PBS Services is committed to helping Alabama businesses and
government agencies manage waste streams efficiently and profitably.
What is
Sustainability
The most widely accepted
definition of sustainability
emerged out of the UN’s
World Commission on
Environment and
Development in 1987.
“Sustainable
development is
development that
meets the needs
of the present
without
compromising
the ability of
future
generations to
meet their own
needs."
Working towards a sustainable,
productive, and profitable future.
Three Great Reasons to Embrace Sustainability in
the Government Sector:
1. Rising landfill prices
2. Shrinking landfill capacity
3. Diminishing municipal and
government budgets
Changing
the Waste
Management
Paradigm
New Waste
Management Paradigm:
Waste Prevention (Reduce)
Reuse
Recycle
Conversion/Compost
Transformation/Waste-to-Energy
Landfill
By turning the traditional
waste hierarchy on its
head, municipalities and
the government sector
can both reduce costs
and minimize waste.
In its 2011 report, The Alabama Department of Environmental
Management (ADEM) determined that Alabama spent more
than $25 million to dispose of over $193 million worth of
recyclable materials into landfills.
The Alabama Environmental Council reported that the total
average daily solid waste generated by Alabamians is 9.9
pounds per person, compared with the national
average of 4.5 pounds.
The State of Alabama's
Recycling Economy
Your Roadmap
to Minimizing
Municipal &
Government
Waste
Minimize municipal and
government waste by
including a combination
of activities that identify
ways to keep materials
out of the waste stream
in the first place.
Manage and minimize
materials that are
currently going to
landfills.
Key Strategy Stops Along
Sustainability Road
1. Analyze: Start by assessing and analyzing your existing waste
streams. This may include working with your waste management
company to track waste volume and contents
2. Make a plan: Work to develop a program that meets your existing
waste management needs while striving to reduce waste. Using
SMART goals (strategic, measurable, attainable, realistic and
time-based), revise your preliminary plan to reflect the input of your
stakeholders.
3. Seek buy-in: Strive to engage, educate, and communicate
with your key stakeholders and community members to
help ensure your plan’s success.
Key Strategy Stops Along
Sustainability Road
4. Start with reduce and reuse: Encourage your employees and
personnel to minimize use (encourage the use of email over paper
memos, double-side all copies, promote the concept of a paperless
office, etc...) and to recycle whenever possible.
5. Maximize recycling: For materials that can’t be reused, look to
recycling. Everything from paper to plastic to food waste and cooking
oil can be recycled. Used furniture can be donated to local charities.
6. Assess success: Be sure to include measurement as part of your
strategy. Use benchmarking, goal-setting, and monitor your
bottom-line costs to determine the success of your plan.

Minimizing Municipal and Government Waste

  • 1. Developing a Sustainable Future PBS Services is committed to helping Alabama businesses and government agencies manage waste streams efficiently and profitably.
  • 2. What is Sustainability The most widely accepted definition of sustainability emerged out of the UN’s World Commission on Environment and Development in 1987. “Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs."
  • 3. Working towards a sustainable, productive, and profitable future. Three Great Reasons to Embrace Sustainability in the Government Sector: 1. Rising landfill prices 2. Shrinking landfill capacity 3. Diminishing municipal and government budgets
  • 4. Changing the Waste Management Paradigm New Waste Management Paradigm: Waste Prevention (Reduce) Reuse Recycle Conversion/Compost Transformation/Waste-to-Energy Landfill By turning the traditional waste hierarchy on its head, municipalities and the government sector can both reduce costs and minimize waste.
  • 5. In its 2011 report, The Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) determined that Alabama spent more than $25 million to dispose of over $193 million worth of recyclable materials into landfills. The Alabama Environmental Council reported that the total average daily solid waste generated by Alabamians is 9.9 pounds per person, compared with the national average of 4.5 pounds. The State of Alabama's Recycling Economy
  • 6. Your Roadmap to Minimizing Municipal & Government Waste Minimize municipal and government waste by including a combination of activities that identify ways to keep materials out of the waste stream in the first place. Manage and minimize materials that are currently going to landfills.
  • 7. Key Strategy Stops Along Sustainability Road 1. Analyze: Start by assessing and analyzing your existing waste streams. This may include working with your waste management company to track waste volume and contents 2. Make a plan: Work to develop a program that meets your existing waste management needs while striving to reduce waste. Using SMART goals (strategic, measurable, attainable, realistic and time-based), revise your preliminary plan to reflect the input of your stakeholders. 3. Seek buy-in: Strive to engage, educate, and communicate with your key stakeholders and community members to help ensure your plan’s success.
  • 8. Key Strategy Stops Along Sustainability Road 4. Start with reduce and reuse: Encourage your employees and personnel to minimize use (encourage the use of email over paper memos, double-side all copies, promote the concept of a paperless office, etc...) and to recycle whenever possible. 5. Maximize recycling: For materials that can’t be reused, look to recycling. Everything from paper to plastic to food waste and cooking oil can be recycled. Used furniture can be donated to local charities. 6. Assess success: Be sure to include measurement as part of your strategy. Use benchmarking, goal-setting, and monitor your bottom-line costs to determine the success of your plan.
