The Recycling Program at the Department of Environmental Quality, works closely with <a>recycling program managers</a>, as well as with local governments and solid waste planning units to ensure that their recycling programs are able to meet or exceed the state's mandated recycling rates.  Program staff provide guidance on recycling topics and programs, tracks and reports on Virginia's recycling efforts, and works with localities, other state agencies and environmental groups to promote environmental awareness through recycling.  Staff also work with the Virginia Recycling Markets Development Council to identify opportunities to strengthen the state's recycling infrastructures.  The program is part of the Office of Pollution Prevention.

Steve Coe: Hello! My name is Steve Coe and I work for the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality in Richmond, Virginia. Today's video is how to recycle. We will be talking about recycling basics, what is recycling, why is it important, recycling management, what type of recycling options you may have where you live and work, recycling in the home and the office, how to do that, setup, collection systems and work with employees to make it work, and finally, how to recycle some specialty equipment like electronics, used oil etcetera.

I've worked in recycling for over 20 years. I worked with local governments, citizens, and businesses to be sure they know how to recycle. Recycling is one of the important things that US citizens can do to make the world a better place and protect the environment. So now our first topic is recycling basics. So let's get started.
