The City of Salina defined ‘Zero Waste’ as a philosophy that promotes reuse, recycling, and conservation programs. Sustainable Materials Management is planning for communities to use the resources it has in a more sustainable way, which reduces waste going into the landfill. More than a philosophy, it supports city sustainability goals to lower carbon footprints. “And when it comes to Zero Waste, sustainability is one of the main emphases that Salina is looking at in terms of reducing solid waste production,” explains Renee Trenshaw.
