Steps to Developing a Oyster Recycling System
The steps to develop a oyster shell recycling system are pretty straightforward. Of course, coordinating the different organizations to work together can be challenging.
1. First you will have to have a location to store and isolate the shell.
2. You will have to have enough bins to provide to restaurants for the shell.
3. The number of pick-ups per week is a big deal. The hauler will need to be able to do it as many times as the restaurant requires. The oyster shell are heavier than standard trash, so the cost to the owners is higher per volume. This can be a great incentive for them to be part of a oyster recycling program.
4. You should start small by developing a pilot program of 5 to 8 restaurants and then grow as you work out the bugs in the program. An end-of-the-season party (or oyster roast) is a great way to celebrate and thank the restaurants that are involved. It can be a great way to recruit more restaurants too.
