PROMOTION /PUBLIC RELATIONS PLAN
CURBSIDE RECYCLING PROGRAM
I. Introduction
320AA
The development of a strong community education and
promotional campaign in the city of Little Rock is crucial to the
long term success of the ongoing curbside recycling program. Past
experiences dictates that the number of participants involved in
the recycling program is a direct reflection on the successful
implementation of a creative and persistent community education and
public promotion plan.
The plan prepared by Waste Management, Inc., experienced in
providing extensive public relations campaigns for curbside
recycling programs throughout Arkansas will focus on the following
overall goals:
A. Public Education
A successful public education campaign must communicate
to the public that waste reduction is necessary, that it
improves the environment, and that it ought to be a part of
every resident's daily routine. All promotional methods will
provide valuable information on what material can and should
be recycled and provide all local residents with instructions
on the simplest method of doing so.
B. Promotion
Educating community residents on the importance of
recycling and creating initial participation in the curbside
program is only half the battle. Keeping residents interested
in continuing to make recycling a part of their daily routines
will require the use of ongoing creative and persistent
methods of promoting recycling activities. Whether it's
involving local community groups, organizing in neighborhoods,
developing creative programs and mass mail and press plans to
support these programs... Waste Management is prepared to
invest time and resources to make recycling a household word
in Arkansas.
C. Little Rock Promotion
M
� ■� � i 17 ��i�l
0
Waste Management, Inc. is experienced in developing
unique programs for promoting local government and community
sponsored events. All public educational and promotional
efforts will be developed to maximize visibility of all Little
Rock officials involved in the curbside recycling program
...promote the Little Rock commitment to improving the
environment and reducing waste.
In order to achieve these goals, Waste Management has designed
a promotional effort intended to maximize the number of contacts
with residents. In addition to direct contact, this proposal
includes a highly visible media campaign which will increase
overall recycling awareness.
contact in this plan will not be limited to adults. We will
aim our school education program toward elementary and secondary
school children. While we have established reasonable goals for
participation, we believe that the public awareness proposal
described in this section may well allow us to exceed these
expectations.
In the Little Rock curbside program, every home in the
collection area will initially be provided with in -home recycling
containers. This action alone should result in high levels of
participation. The community education and promotional activities
proposed by Waste Management will be focused on attaining high
participation and maintaining it.
II. Methodology
Waste reduction is not an issue normally discussed at family
outings or community events. Generally, the public is unaware of
our need to reduce waste and has little knowledge or incentive to
recycle on its own.
All methods of community education and promotion developed by
Waste Management will be geared toward local elected official
participation, opinion leaders, community organizations, corporate
representatives and the public at large and will be focused on the
following tasks:
A. The Gamenlan
Waste Management, Inc., after consultation- with Little
Rock officials, will present a detailed gameplan for the
curbside recycling program which will include: overall
strategy, project concepts, methodology and a detailed
timeline of all tasks and duties by week and month.
B. Grassroots Community Organizing
M
0
The success of the Little Rock curbside recycling program
will largely be determined by our ability to convince
residents of Little Rock to participate in recycling used
materials and to make recycling a part of their daily
routines. Organizing neighborhood residents, one -by -one, is
one proven method of educating the community and involving
them in the project... making this "their" project.
Waste Management will utilize the following neighborhood
organization techniques:
1. Neighborhood Doorhanger Program
32mOr-
Waste Management will create a doorhanger to be placed on
the doors of all potential curbside customers in Little Rock..
The doorhangers will provide information on when the
recycling bins will be distributed and when the program is to
begin. There will also be a telephone number to call for more
information.
During the initial start -up phases, these doorhangers will be
disbursed through Little Rock.
C. Youth Educational Programs
Today's youth are tomorrow's leaders. If we are to truly
establish recycling as a strong long -term community effort, we
must also convey this message to our children and young
adults.
Waste Management believes that the commitment to
educating our youth on the benefits of recycling must take_top
priority. We are prepared to develop the following programs
to reach out to young people in Little Rock:
1. K -12 Recycling Awareness Classes
Waste Management will develop a course class
curriculum for teaching recycling awareness classes to
grade school, junior and senior high* school students.
This class presentation will also include a formal video
presentation prepared by Waste Management on behalf of
Little Rock to be utilized as well for community speech
presentations..
We will be responsible for contacting local public
schools for scheduling of classes, all personal follow -
up, as well as all press promotion and Little Rock
elected official involvement.
D.
so •.
Particular attention will be given to creative
presentation, as well as student participation and
feedback. We may want to consider asking each student,
for example, to voluntarily complete a "pledge card" to
commit to recycling ten aluminum can and three newspapers
in a given week.
2. Library Recycling Awareness Program
On behalf of Little Rock, Waste Management will
contact public school and county public libraries to
investigate the use of bookmarks and other materials
commonly distributed at libraries for inclusion of the
Little Rock recycling message.
3. Demonstration Days
Waste Management, experienced in curbside recycling
collection programs, is prepared to organize
demonstration projects at local public schools for
students to view first hand what happens to their
recycling • garbage from curbside collection to
distribution, to finished reusable product.
Community Outreach
Effective community outreach is essential to the success
of any comprehensive community recycling effort. Waste
Management proposes a strong outreach program that will enable
Little Rock to work closely with opinion leaders and community
groups toward raising community consciousness about the
environment and establishing key participation goals.
Waste Management is prepared to institute the following
community outreach program:
1. Speakers Bureau.
Waste Management will develop a speaking
presentation to present to local community meetings.
We will solicit community groups, times and
locations of meetings and will make key staff available
to present speeches to gain community support.
E. Mass Mail
In the start up phase, Waste Management will design,
layout, reproduce and distribute letters and brochures to
32D-u
educate residents on recycling and promote the Little Rock
curbside recycling program. These materials will include:
1. Billing Inserts
We will .produce a billing insert encouraging
recycling along with a phone number to call for more
information.
2. "How To" Brochure
We will produce a "How To" brochure which will be
distributed with the bins in the start up phases of the
program. This brochure will inform residents what should
be recycled, the best methods of home recycling, as well
as proper in -house and curbside placement techniques.
3. Organizational Newsletters /Publications
320GE
We will contact-key community organizations to ask
that a periodic column be placed in their newsletters and
publications on the local curbside program and new
recycling techniques. We will also assist Little Rock
Council staffs in preparing articles, for establishing
citywide publication.
F. Press /Free Media Services
Waste Management is experienced in developing aggressive
media plans to utilize all free and low -cost sources to
promote the lewisville curbside. recycling program, as well as
educate the public. on the importance of recycling to our
communities.
We will provide Little Rock with the following free and
low cost media services:
1. Radio Talk Shows
Waste Management will develop a series of well -
thought -out letters to talk show contact in the Little
Rock media market to schedule a Waste Management
representative and Little Rock officials, if available,
on radio talk shows. These talk show presentations may
want to coincide with local high visibility recycling
activities.

2. News Releases
Waste Management, on behalf of Little Rock will
prepare and distribute all approved news released on the
curbside program. Emphasis.will be placed on interesting
issue angles, as well as creative packaging of important
news items.
3. Press Conferences
A press conference is a special news event and
should only be called when there is news worthy of
distribution. Waste Management will organize all phases
of press conference presentation. Special consideration
will be to theme and original presentation for mass media
appeal.
We will take responsibility, after consultation with
Little Rock, for concept initiation, participant
planning, location, all conference material, including
press advisories, press kits and releases, conference
set -up and all personal contact with reporters where
necessary.
