Durham General Hospital

Durham General Hospital in Durham, NC engaged Wilmot to produce a source reduction and recycling plan. Our team designed and executed a waste audit that provided a comprehensive picture of the hospital’s waste flow.  All ten of the hospital’s departments participated in the audit.  Upon completion, Wilmot developed a waste reduction model and assisted the hospital with designing and launching a staff training program to ensure compliance and successful implementation.  Program highlights included:

  • Facility-wide eco-audit
  • Committee facilitation
  • Model for waste characterization, flow control and materials management
  • Strategy development
  • Community outreach plan

The plan Wilmot developed made an immediate and sustainable impact on the hospital’s operations. The hospital also capitalized on its efforts by launching a community outreach plan that improved brand perceptions, generated goodwill and increased awareness of the importance of environmentally sound business practices.
