 On World Water Day, WasteCap Resource Solutions participated in an event at Glen Hills Middle School and several environmental partners to educate students on the importance of recycling and composting. The event, held in collaboration with EarthEcho International, Xylem, Milwaukee Riverkeeper, Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District, Riveredge Nature Center, and Shorewood Waters Project, aimed to inspire the next generation of environmental stewards.
During the event, students engaged in interactive sessions that highlighted the impact of waste on water systems and the environment. They learned practical ways to reduce waste in their daily lives and recycle and compost properly, emphasizing the significance of individual actions in achieving broader environmental goals. This initiative reflects WasteCap's commitment to community engagement and education, key components of their mission to transform waste into resources. By partnering with local organizations and schools, WasteCap continues to promote sustainable practices and environmental awareness throughout Wisconsin.

WasteCap has been busy since 1996, helping businesses find ways to transform waste into resources through reduction, reuse, recycling and composting. In 2005 we started recording that impact, which passed some major new milestones last year! Waste is more than trash in a landfill, or litter in our parks and waters. Waste is the acres of habitat leveled to obtain material, the energy and water consumed to make and move products, the jobs created in recycling and remanufacture, and the cost savings of reuse and recycling.     
Three Ways You Can Change the WorldOn your own, every purchase you make and every piece of material you throw away makes a small impact on the resources wasted locally and around the world. By working together we can move markets, create jobs, keep our communities healthy, and preserve the beauty of Wisconsin. Please consider WasteCap in ways large and small this season, and beyond, with these simple options.  Tell corporations who you support: *The same site with the same deals. *A portion of every purchase goes to the non-profit of your choice. *Please use smile.amazon.com and select WasteCap as your non-profit!  Donate directly to make an impact: *Expands our material and economic research. *Helps us reach out to new audiences. *Supports internships and education opportunities. *Improves waste reduction tools for the public. *Enables us to advise local and national efforts to reduce waste to landfill.  Become a member to move markets: *Send WasteCap to speak at conferences and advocate change. *Sponsor the next generation of interns changing the world. *Solve Wisconsin's need for food security, local energy, and greenhouse gas reduction through better use of organic waste. *Give Wisconsin students the opportunity to deconstruct a building slated for the landfill and take those materials back to their art and trade classes. *Increase Wisconsin's use of recycled material, purity of material streams, and options for reuse and recycling. *Create a reuse and recycling directory for Wisconsin. Or we can simply provide you or your company with insight, resources, and a helping hand on your waste reduction journey.
