Cuyahoga County manufacturers produce 1.7 million tons of waste every year. Disposal of this waste burdens Ohio's landfill capacity and adds to companies' overhead.

To help manufacturers implement effective waste management and recycling practices, the District sponsors the Industrial Waste Reduction and Recycling Assistance Program in conjunction with CAMP Inc. (formerly, the Cleveland Advanced Manufacturing Program).

Manufacturers participating in this free program receive hands on assistance from CAMP's experienced engineers. These engineers will visit your company, perform a waste analysis and help you identity and implement waste reduction opportunities. Waste reduction is a proven money saving technique that can often be implemented with little or no cost. Most site visits take about three hours.

Since this program was started in 1997, 175 manufacturers have taken advantage of the service and are realizing cost savings by implementing CAMP's recommendations. Your company can too. For more information, contact Gus Eskamani with CAMP's Environmental Services Group at (215) 432-5300.
