Within each agency there are opportunities to use materials made with recycled content as well as to reduce waste and minimize trash disposal costs by reusing or recycling materials. Working out of the Surplus Property Management Office, the State Recycling Coordinator provides agencies of the Commonwealth with technical assistance and training for successful waste reduction programs and recycled-content materials procurement. Recycling is one component of a comprehensive waste reduction program that includes source reduction, reuse and recycling activities. Each agency is to develop a recycling program.

Information available includes market and recycling contact information, resource information or referrals, program development and implementation assistance, and guidance concerning related state policies and procedures. Training will also be provided on these topics.
