Hearst Communications, Forest City Enterprises and GCA Services Group (Custodial & Maintenance Service) are committed to the environmentally responsible management of 5M. As part of the commitment, we have implemented a comprehensive Waste Diversion program. This program supports San Francisco’s Recycling and Compost ordinances and Sustainable/Green Cleaning initiatives.

The Waste Diversion program focuses on:

• Co-Mingled Recycling
• Composting
• Trash/Landfill
• Electronics/e-waste/Batteries

The program is outlined on the following presentation. Thanks to the consistent efforts of the entire community, less than 14% of our waste ends up in area landfills.
