When we encounter a challenge we typically:

1) Learn about the issue
2) Reflect on past issues to seek similar solutions
3) Brainstorm possible solutions based on all known criteria
4) Propose solution and come to an agreement with everyone involved
5) Implement
6) Schedule a future evaluation

The Re-TRAC Connect Blog is our solution to conquer the following challenge:

“How do we communicate new features to our 18,000+ users without overwhelming their inbox?”

The Program Details Page Gets a New Look

If you have already joined the program, directory, or tool, its description will be abbreviated so that your organizations will be displayed instead.

They say everything is bigger in Texas. Well, they weren’t kidding! We’re proud to announce that the Texas Recycling Data Initiative (TRDI) results are in and it was a BIG success. TRDI is a voluntary, collaborative, and confidential study that, with the help of Re-TRAC Connect, quantifies the amount of recycling that occurred in Texas in 2013 and establishes a baseline recycling rate to measure future progress.
