The Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, NH has a strong commitment to recycling. It needed an outlet for recycling its blue wrap, but was not generating sufficient quantity for this to be appealing on its own.

HPRC’s latest blog describes how Dartmouth-Hitchcock forged a relationship with other entities to put a viable recycling program in place. HPRC completed a case study that can also be downloaded at our blog page. This can inspire other healthcare facilities looking for recycling opportunities.
