Walsh's Waste Reduction program is now branded as our Walsh Waste Tracker Program.  Many Directors of Housekeeping, Environmental Service Directors, and  Infection Control Nurses would agree that, for a hospital, the key to reducing the cost of infectious waste disposal is through in-servicing those people who are responsible for it.  Unfortunately, if it were so easy, everyone would be doing it.  We have developed the Walsh Waste Reduction Program as a turnkey solution to the problem of ongoing support of waste reduction initiatives.

The Walsh Walsh Waste Tracker Program consists of services and materials ranging from:

• in-service sessions
• internal promotional materials
• monthly waste tracking
• quarterly reporting
• assistance on waste bin placement.

Our approach is to combine proven promotional tools with a series of detailed, informative in-service sessions.  We follow this up by ensuring that the appropriate number of containers are in the right location, to support proper segregation.

We realize that many hospitals could do this work themselves. Our program is simply a proven, packaged solution.

The focus of the program is to:

1. tell people what should be in the RMW, solid waste and recycling streams.
2. ensure appropriate reminders at the point of generation, on desk tops, in meeting rooms, etc.
3. ensure that the proper containers are available, well located and emptied on schedule
4. repeat as necessary.

The Walsh Waste Reduction Program is available as part of Walsh's P² Program^TM and is an integral component in long term waste reduction. 

Walsh's Walsh Waste Tracker Program gets people interested and helps to change their behavior.
