About the Toolkit

The Community Waste Reduction Toolkit is a practical, easy-to-use resource created specifically for local food-sector businesses. It helps operators:
  • understand how packaging choices impact costs, health, and the environment,
  • identify simple ways to reduce waste without disrupting operations,
  • access real-world case studies from Philadelphia businesses, and learn proven strategies that save thousands of dollars while improving customer experience.
Whether you’re trying to cut monthly costs, comply with emerging policies, reduce clutter and trash volume, or strengthen your sustainability practices, this Toolkit gives you the roadmap.

What you’ll get out of attending

  • Cost savings: Learn how businesses are saving $3,000–$22,000 annually using strategies from our free Toolkit.
  • A like-minded network: Connect with other business owners and operators committed to creating a cleaner, safer Philadelphia while improving their bottom line.
  • Access to advocates + opportunities: Meet leaders working on future grant pathways and citywide waste-reduction initiatives.
  • A voice in local strategy: Share your insights and help shape the policies and systems that impact your business, neighborhood, and customers.
  • Community engagement: Participate in a powerful listening session led by Trash Academy, centering real experiences and community perspectives.

Event flow

  • 30 minutes: How to get the most out of the Toolkit
  • 10 minutes: Q&A
  • 55 minutes: Public engagement + listening session with Trash Academy

This event is designed to help businesses cut costs, reduce waste, and build relationships with others working toward a cleaner and more efficient city.

We’re excited to bring people together who care about public health, local resilience, and practical solutions that work for the communities we serve. This event is funded by a grant from EPA Region 3’s Thriving Communities – Green & Healthy Homes Initiative. Event Location: Esperanza Health Core Center
