The Strike

·          Set walls can be reused or donated to high schools, theatres, churches, etc.

·          Recycle all scrap metal. Ferrous scrap metals are magnetic, and include all types and shapes of iron and steel. Nonferrous scrap metals including aluminum, copper, and brass may be recycled separately, so check with your recycler.

·          Carpeting can be donated or recycled.

·          Plate glass, tempered glass, Plexiglass, etc. should be donated or recycled.

Set Dressing/Props/Wardrobe Donations

·          Props and set dressing pieces that were purchased rather than rented should be sold or donated (see REUSE/DONATIONS/ FOOD RECOVERY section on page 9)

·          Recycle all cardboard boxes and packing material.

Paint Disposal

·          Ask the production office staff to notify the entire crew about any available paint that they may take for homeprojects.

·          Donate any unwanted leftover paint to local theaters and scene shops, schools, Habitat for Humanity, etc.

·          Never put any wet paint, including water based latex, down the drain or in the trash. Small amounts of unwanted paint can be rolled out onto a piece of scrap cardboard, or solidified by adding small amounts of shredded newspaper or cat litter until dry, and then sent to landfill.

·          Empty paint cans, can lids, and #2 plastic paint buckets with minimal residue, and empty aerosol cans with their caps removed, can ALL be put in with commingled recyclables.

·          All solvent based paint must be disposed of as hazardous waste. Contact the Philadelphia Streets Department for commercial hazardous waste regulations.

Greens

·          Donate plants, mulch, soil, etc. to crewmembers, or to local community gardens, who may also be able to use leftover organic material in their compost.
