The Hamilton County, Ohio, Solid Waste District and Techsolve will host a free Environmental Resource Management and Recycling Seminar September 19, at TechSolve headquarters.
Cam Metcalf, the executive director for the Kentucky Pollution Prevention Center, will be the keynote speaker during lunch. The seminar will include an exhibition hall, as well as sessions on RM contracting, successful case studies, and a question and answer portion with several local stakeholders.
Resource Management is an innovative contractual partnership between a waste-generating organization and a qualified contractor. This partnership changes the nature of current disposal services to support waste minimization and recycling. As a performance-based contract strategy, RM taps into the expertise of external contractors to bolster waste reduction and recycling through value added services, such as improved reporting, dedicated customer service, and analysis.
The key to success in RM contracting is changing the compensation structure to provide incentives for contractors and reward them for achieving mutually determined goals. This change shifts the contractor’s profitability model from “haul/dispose more volume” to minimize waste and manage resources better.
Persons interested in attending the one-day seminar are asked to contact Christy Kellner, business specialist, at (513) 946-7732 by Sept. 12.
