Helping schools and communities achieve their zero waste goals
SEI’s Zero Waste experts help schools implement sustainable waste reduction and recycling programs in order to comply with mandatory state laws. We work with schools and communities to build a culture of environmental stewardship, create opportunities for project based learning, and save money on refuse hauling services.
