RecommendationsDNR
● Facilitate consolidation
● Provide data when unavailable at local level
![Page 19: Recycling Program Consolidation in Wisconsin: A Decision-Making Guide](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081603/568138a0550346895da05de1/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
RecommendationsResponsible Units
● Consider goals, including costs
● Communicate with other RUs

Conclusion● Consolidation could increase
efficiency and equity● Survey indicates it is feasible politically● DNR should actively assist RUs● All RUs should explore potential for
savings from consolidation
