These programs can be used as models by others implementing their own programs to reduce disposal. This fact sheet packet is aimed at local governments that want to encourage more building-related construction and demolition debris recovery, building owners and developers interested in green building design, and building contractors seeking a competitive edge.http://www.constructiongreenbook.com/Green-Building-Resources/Waste-Reduction/EPA-WasteWise-Program-l77.htmlWasteWise helps its partners meet goals to reduce and recycle municipal solid waste and selected industrial wastes.
