Mayor's Business Recycling & Zero Waste Awards Program

The City of Fresno desires to publicly recognize the commercial businesses that actively support recycling in the workplace. As the City currently strives for 50% waste reduction and "Zero Waste" in the near future, commercial businesses can greatly enhance the city’s recycling efforts.

To qualify for a Mayor’s Business Recycling Award or Zero Waste 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 the Mayor's Business Recycling Award:
1. Recycling Activity: Active effort demonstrated to implement recycling throughout the business. (up to 25 points)
2. Diversion Percentage: Recycling diversion percentage through cubic yard or tonnage evaluation. (Validated through hauler service records.) (up to 50 points)
3. Waste Reduction Efforts: Demonstration of effort to buy recycled content and promote waste reduction in the workplace. (up to 25 points)

Recycling Awards will be judged on the above criteria, and graded on a 100 point scale.


Criteria for the Zero Waste Award:
1. Effectively demonstrate 90% diversion or more from generated waste flow.
