The period for reporting 2014 annual data is now open. The deadline to submit 2014 annual data and 2015 annual goals via the data management system is March 31, 2015.
Reporting for New Partners
As a new partner, you must first complete the following steps:
- Join WasteWise by completing a registration form.
- Once your organization has been approved in the new system, you’ll gain access to your Participation Agreement. You should complete this form within seven days of being approved.
- After your Participation Agreement has been verified, you’ll need to complete your Baseline Data form and set a Baseline Goal to achieve during the remainder of your starting calendar year. Baseline data and goals are due within 90 days of submitting your Participation Agreement.
March 31 of the next calendar year, you should complete a Partner Annual Data Form with data from the calendar year you joined to see whether you achieved your baseline goal. You should also complete a partner Annual Goal form, setting a goal for your first full year of participation that’s at least a five percent increase over the prior year and set a self-directed quantitative goal for the upcoming year.
