Top 5 Reasons Measure Georgia Measure Georgia Matters We live in a data driven world; numbers make credible facts. While we have a great recycling infrastructure in Georgia, anecdotal information does not resonate with policy and decision makers without metrics to quantify it. State resources have waned in recent years with respect to waste reduction and recycling; a successful response will give us the economic data we need to garner support. If you are a local government, processor /MRF, or manufacturer/end-user of recycled materials in Georgia, your participation is the key to collecting this vital data. Aggregate reporting within each of the 3 sectors described above will give us robust data to use in sustaining resources for programs and solidifying our industry s role in economic development. So, if you are not participating, please contact us to get signed up; we can t improve what we don t measure we need your input for a successful outcome; it s easy and proprietary.
