Case Study: The Weber School improves waste diversion with Rubicon

The Weber School boosts classroom diversion to 91% with Rubicon

The Weber School, an innovative high school in Sandy Springs, GA, partnered with waste management vendor Rubicon to audit and improve its recycling and waste diversion programs. The school's challenge was to enhance its sustainability efforts by better understanding its disposal habits and implementing a more effective recycling system to educate its students and faculty.

Rubicon implemented its RUBICONMethod, a unique six-step process developed to help organizations begin a zero-waste journey. The solution included performing a formal waste audit with student volunteers, providing specific recommendations for increased signage and bin placement, and introducing specialized recycling programs. As a result, The Weber School already achieved an impressive 91% diversion rate with no contamination in its average classroom, demonstrating the significant impact of the partnership with Rubicon.
