Who They Are
Why They’re a Champion
Franklin Soil and Water Conservation District is recognized by SWACO as a Recycling and Food Waste Champion for its commitment to waste reduction and sustainability in the workplace. Through its partnership with SWACO, the organization expanded its waste diversion efforts by introducing a composting program in its office, providing employees with convenient opportunities to divert food scraps from the landfill.
Compost collection containers placed in kitchen and breakroom areas make it easy for staff to participate in the program while supporting broader sustainability goals. By expanding waste diversion beyond traditional recycling, Franklin Soil and Water Conservation District is helping reduce food waste, increase employee engagement in composting and foster a culture of environmental stewardship throughout the organization.
