Better bins alone don't fix a broken waste program.
A newly published systematic review of 61 peer-reviewed studies on waste management in multi-unit dwellings found that performance is shaped by four interconnected areas: infrastructure, governance, social coordination, and resident behavior. The key takeaway? Waste problems rarely come from one issue alone.
They emerge when different parts of the system don't work together.
That's why REUSEO looks beyond the dumpster. Sorting, waste-area oversight, reporting, education, and account management can all play a role in building a more consistent operation.
Before adding more, understand where the system is breaking down.
