The Goal of Small Town Sustainability is to create a program that not only improves the
environmental condition of the rural south but the economic condition as well. By employing local residents, creating a community-based
recycling program, and saving the environment, our charitable business hopes to make money while also changing lives in the areas in which
we operate.

What is the Problem?• Lack of recycling in rural areas
• There aren’t a lot of people with a background in sustainable waste management
• Main industry is tourism
• A lot of poverty in the area

Why Northern Florida?
• We have a connection to the Northern Florida and as a result, have relationships with locals and local businesses in the area
• High tourism population means that the permanent residents are dependent on the revenue of tourist season
• The many stops along scenic highways such as 30A is an ideal layout for a recycling program – it’s mostly a straight shot

How it Works
Trash is Picked Up by our Trucks
After each truck makes its rounds, the products are transported back to our plant
Once inside the plant, products are separated in assembly line fashion
Once separated, they are processed
The process materials will then be sold to large scale manufacturers in bulk

–We are locally staffed, scaled to accommodate the area, and people can choose how much to invest by which size bin they buy
Our success will be measured by the:– # of employees we are able to employ– # of partnerships we are able to secure– # of fully operating centers– $$$ saved by the individual states as a result
of shifting their waste management tactics
