ReBusiness Partners

The ReBusiness Partners Program is designed to support a local business or organization’s efforts to reduce waste, increase recycling and composting, and adopt green purchasing practices. We worked with a few of our ReBusiness Partners and Thomas Hoebbel Photography to create a video promoting the program. It demonstrates how easy it is to participate in a waste assessment or reassessment and highlights some of the program’s success stories.
