ANNOUNCEMENT OF UPCOMING FOOD WASTE FORUMS/DESCRIPTION OF FORUM SERIES We are building awareness among all our stakeholder communities, including the investment community, through a series of county based food waste recycling forums across the state of New Jersey. Registration for each educational forum is free, and the forum typically runs from morning into early afternoon. Each forum provides nuts and bolts introductions on how to plan for and set up a food waste recycling program to receive the maximum economic and environmental benefits associated with food waste recycling. Speakers include recycling systems experts such as John Connolly, Steve Mojo, and Mike Manna who can prepare generators to do waste audits, contract with haulers, create teams and do training, choose bins and avoid contaminating the recycling with things which cannot be accepted. Other speakers include representatives of each of the food waste recycling facilities now in development, what food and other organic waste they will accept and what products they will manufacture. Still other speakers will describe actual case studies and how to have your greenhouse gas savings calculated for you for free. Each forum provides information for local governmental representatives on how to support food waste recycling within their jurisdictions and the benefits of doing so. SWRRG has held forums in Middlesex and Mercer Counties. Currently scheduled forums which you may register for are the following: ? March 26, 2008: Ocean County Food Waste Forum ? April 11, 2008: Gloucester County Food Waste and School Recycling Forum. This forum which will take place at Rowan University, will have a special focus on K-12 and higher education institutions, and will go beyond food waste recycling with case studies on successful school recycling in general. We will have students, teachers and the head custodian from Lavallette Elementary School present on their exemplary and highly participatory recycling program. ? April 23, 2008: Bergen County Food Waste Forum. ? June 5, 2008: Atlantic County Food Waste Forum. ? October 30, 2008: Somerset County Food Waste Forum.
