14 Airport Waste Management and Recycling Practices The surveyed airports indicated that they do not have control over flight kitchens, airline offices, or other airline areas since these are typically leased. The airlines typically contract independently for support services such as office janitorial services and cabin cleaning activities.

Drivers and Challenges 17 Desired improvements to waste-hauling contracts included increased data availability and expansion of recycling and composting services. The airports identified information gaps regarding airport waste management with these common themes: • Airline recycling practice information • Metrics, market, and material information from waste haulers • Data from tenants, specifically concessionaires • Labor and management requirements of various waste management strategies • Collaboration with the TSA, specifically on liquid restrictions • Cost estimates for spectrum of strategies There is a growing awareness that airports are sometimes calculating their metrics differently, especially numerical values for waste reduction and total diversion.
