Mayor's Business Recycling Awards Program
The City of Fresno desires to publicly recognize the commercial businesses that actively support recycling in the workplace. As the City strives for 50% waste reduction, commercial businesses can greatly enhance the city’s recycling efforts.
To qualify for a Mayor’s Business Recycling Award, any business located within the city limits of Fresno may submit an award nomination. All information supplied in the nomination will be validated through an on-site inspection, if selected as a high qualifier for the award.
Criteria for Award:
1. Active effort demonstrated to implement recycling throughout the business. (up to 25 points)
2. Demonstration of at least 50% recycling, through cubic yard or tonnage evaluation. (Validated through hauler service records.) (up to 50 points)
3. Demonstration of effort to buy recycled content and promote waste reduction in the workplace. (up to 25 points)
Awards will be judged on the above criteria, and graded on a 100 point scale.
Information for next year's awards will be posted in July of 2007 with nominations due by September 28, 2007. The 2007 awards will be presented November 13, 2007.
