Data Tracking Resources for States - MMP
|
|
Are you a state agency in need of help tracking your member community’s data?
Let the Municipal Measurement Program (MMP) help!
The Municipal Measurement Program (MMP) is a powerful platform to track key municipal recycling program metrics, run insightful analytics, and link directly to tools that improve program performance.
Although MMP is free for municipalities to use and tracks municipality information, The Recycling Partnership encourages state recycling agencies to adopt MMP also and as a result, we are supporting this adoption by offering grants for to up to three states to pay for the initial first year cost for implementation. Find out more about statewide grants here.
Contact Liz Bedard at lbedard@recyclingpartnership.org if you have questions or want more information.

1-5-50
Reaching All Audiences
|
|
We have all experienced that resident who asks a million and one questions, making us think we may need to jam more information into our pamphlets, postcards or bill inserts. Resist the urge to info cram: these residents are a small percentage of your audience!
Follow the 1-5-50 rule to make sure your communications have the right amount of detail for their audience. Make the message on your level 1 items, like digital ads or billboards, as simple as possible: this is where most of your audience falls. Level 5 items, like postcards and pamphlets, can include a little more information and level 50 items, like a blog on your website, can have all the nitty-gritty details an info hungry resident can handle.
