This activity adds to the Center’s existing procedures and will involve the installation of containers to collect a wide range of recycled materials including paper, cardboard, metal, plastic and wooden waste.
As part of the new initiative, KHBTCC’s staff will be trained to adopt new behaviors and lessons on the best methods of disposing recyclable waste. The convention center’s staff will also regularly monitor the operation and make sure everything possible is being done to effectively reduce environmental impact across all departments.
