Metro Fairview and Troutdale Recycle at Work

This report encompasses the activities and outcomes for the Recycle at Work (RAW) program for the Cities of Fairview and Troutdale. RAW was initiated by Metro to implement outreach and compliance efforts related to Metro's Business Recycling Requirements (BRR) in the region. In FY 2024, Metro provided funds to Community Environmental Services (CES) to develop and implement the program in the Cities of Fairview and Troutdale. CES provided assistance to businesses through on-site recycling evaluations, distribution of recycling resources and educational materials, and in-person notification and outreach about BRR. The goal of this effort was to provide technical assistance for setting up internal recycling systems at businesses and to spread information and raise awareness about BRR and recycling in general. In May - June 2024, CES conducted in-person outreach in Fairview and Troutdale and used data from the previous year to guide 2024’s outreach efforts.
