Which strategies can be used to enhance a recycling program?(choose 2)
A: Installing cardboard bailers
B: Installing aluminum can crushers
C: Using a non-centralized collection point
D: Promoting source reduction when ordering materials

参考答案: AB

本题解释:
Notes:

Cardboard balers, aluminum can crushers, recycling chutes and other waste management technologies can enhance recycling program. Some of these reduce the storage needs for the project.

A collection point should be easily accessible and centralized to encourage use among occupants. A non-centralized point does the opposite.

Source reduction is not a strategy regarding the enhancement of a recycling program because recycling programs within buildings deal with products after it is produced, shipped and used.

Three strategies to reduce waste as defined by the EPA are:

Source reduction: the practice of designing, manufacturing, purchasing, or using materials (such as products and packaging) in ways that reduce the amount or toxicity of trash created. EPA states this has the greatest impact because it reduces waste at the time of product manufacturing/packaging.

Reuse: stops waste at its source because it delays or avoids that item\'s entry into the waste collection and disposal system.

Recycling: converts materials that would otherwise become waste into valuable resources.
