Leslie Hall Shows the Art of Sustainability
Leslie Hall is our dynamic Recycling Sales Coordinator at Waste Management, who’s constantly on the go and out in the field. She is responsible for establishing effective relationships with new and prospective customers, assessing business and school sites for recycling, and managing the service start-up process from start to finish. Always ready with her stash of recyclables (to be transformed into works of art), Leslie enjoys heading out to youth fairs and schools to build excitement for Earth Day campaigns and school recycling efforts.
Leslie is also spearheading Project Sustainability in our facilities at Moreno Valley, Chino and Corona. This Waste Management pilot program is charged with increasing our internal energy efficiency and recycling, and with increasing our purchases of green power and recycled content materials. In a few short months, Leslie has made major strides in our efforts. She has brought in specially designed on-site recycling containers tailored for individual desk stations as well as recycling bins for high traffic areas. She is building a core committee to implement recommendations from a voluntary energy audit conducted by Southern California Edison.
In addition, she has eliminated non-biodegradable disposable cups from our offices and drivers’ areas, brought in recycled coasters made from used blue denim, replaced plastic cutlery with washable silverware and implemented recycling for toner cartridges, cell phones and batteries. To encourage battery recycling, Leslie painted and placed battery collection buckets around our facilities. Feel free to contact Leslie for recommendations to help you implement similar recycling programs at your place of work!
