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.
