March 8 - Clean Recycling for Cash and the Community    
Presenters: Bella Vista AARP
Come learn about a clean, citizen-run recycling program that costs the community $0, saved the community a $100,000 in tip fees, and gave back to the community $256,000 in grants, to over 50 local organizations.

March 15 -  Metrics that Matter -
when talking trash and recycling   
Presenter: Don Marr, Chief of Staff, City of Fayetteville
In this economy, you bet numbers matter. How can you determine the cost effectiveness of your recycling program? Learn about the expenses, the revenues, and the savings associated with reducing waste streams.



March 22 - Silver Bullets in Solid Waste 
Presenters: Fran Alexander, Ron Giles, & Louise Mann
Most recycling programs in Arkansas were started by volunteers. These citizens got firsthand understanding of markets, contamination, and worker safety. Unfortunately most programs did not create infrastructure for continued citizen involvement. Reviewing the lessons of our recycling past could save the community time, money and missteps in the future.
