New recycling laws required public access to 500+ facilities, buy-back programs, and community events scattered across 10 agencies. No one knew where to find anything.
Built a multi-phase digital ecosystem I continue to steward:
Custom facility map (150+ locations, searchable/filterable)
Proactive community event intake form
Live corporate buy-back program database
Designed with WCAG standards and plain language so residents could actually use it without calling someone.
Meets 100% legislative transparency requirements. Self-service tool cut public inquiries 40%. Now serves as single source of truth for counties statewide. Content/webpage design used as model for other state programs.
