Kessler Consulting Inc., a solid waste consulting firm based in Tampa, Florida, has announced it is conducting a comprehensive residential solid waste study for the town of Carrboro, North Carolina.
Carrboro is home to a diverse demographic composition and has big plans for its future, especially when it comes to being an environmental steward, according to Kessler. The Orange County town has active and involved residents, including a sizable undergraduate and graduate student population. As part of the study, Kessler Consulting says it will be engaging these groups through public participation. Residents of Carrboro will have the opportunity to be involved in the process by sharing their thoughts, ideas, perceptions, recycling habits and feelings about their current services through surveys, public forums or focus groups, Kessler says.
Kessler Consulting will conduct a waste composition study, a collection route study and a residential organics collection feasibility study that includes development of a plan for a source-separated residential pilot program. Organics recovery is the future of sustainability, Kessler says, and the firm plans to help Carrboro achieve its higher solid waste diversion goals.
Carrboro is in north central North Carolina with a population of about 21,000 in a geographic area of approximately 6 square miles. The town is part of the Piedmont region of North Carolina and is adjacent to Chapel Hill, home of the University of North Carolina.
Founded in 1988, Kessler Consulting is a solid waste management consulting firm providing solutions to public and private sector clients. In addition to its Tampa headquarters, the company has a satellite office in Portland, Maine.
