How Recycling Programs Are Developed for Brentwood Facilities
Shapiro approaches Brentwood-area operations with a focus on program design and coordination, which directly leads to long-term oversight. Rather than relying on location-specific services, Shapiro evaluates each facility's material streams, production characteristics, and operational priorities to determine the most effective regional execution strategy.
Program development typically includes:
Material Flow Evaluation: Understanding how recyclables are generated, handled, and stored across the facility
Process Alignment: Designing systems that fit existing workflows and staffing models
Ongoing Program Management: Centralized coordination to maintain consistency, accountability, and performance visibility

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Shapiro tailor recycling programs to different facility layouts?
Programs, including closed-loop systems, are designed after reviewing how materials move through the facility, making it possible for systems to fit unique layouts and space constraints.
What role does Shapiro play after a recycling program is implemented?
Shapiro provides ongoing coordination, performance monitoring, program adjustments as operational needs change and everything else needed in this scope of business.
Can recycling programs be adjusted without disrupting production?
Program changes are planned to minimize interference with production schedules and staffing requirements, so it will be either without or with minimal disruption.
How does Shapiro handle facilities with multiple recyclable material types?
Programs are structured to manage different streams efficiently while reducing contamination and handling complexity. It is a regular part of our work and we have clearly established ways of handling such cases.
Is recycling performance tracked over time?
Absolutely, facilities working with use receive consistent data that supports trend analysis and performance improvement planning.
How flexible are recycling programs if business needs change?
We are always there to adapt to any change quickly. Programs are not rigid, but we created them to evolve as production volumes, materials, or operational priorities shift.
Can Brentwood facilities align recycling programs across departments?
Structured recycling data can inform environmental initiatives and long-term sustainability strategies.
How does Shapiro help reduce administrative workload related to recycling?
Shapiro acts as a single point of coordination, handling service oversight, reporting, and issue resolution behind the scenes. This reduces the need for internal teams to manage multiple vendors or troubleshoot day-to-day recycling issues.
Can Shapiro support facilities planning future expansion?
Recycling systems can be built with future changes in mind, making it easier to add new material streams, increase volumes, integrate additional locations, etc.
