Experts who study efficiencies and human behavior by analyzing the ‘science’ of waste management.
Experts in: *Efficiencies*Human behavior
Garbologists develop:*Best practices*Culture change
Garbologists are:
•Waste and recycling not being managed from a business perspective
•Contracts poorly written creating inefficiencies
•Recycling programs poorly implemented, resulting in confusion
•Waste and recycling often managed by separate individuals working at cross-purposes
•Custodial contractor receives no incentive to manage contracts efficiently
•Individuals are given a waste and/or recycling program ‘manager’ title but have no authority, background or training
•Little cooperation within cities and regions to utilize purchasing power or achieve economy of scale
•Little communication/accountability
•No one overseeing the “big picture” so inefficient practices perpetuate year after year
