The Zero Waste Valet Manager is responsible for transporting recyclables, compostables, and trash for concessions on the B concourse, and educating their staff about best practices in waste diversion. The ZWV Manager will also be responsible for communicating with the Program Director, other Program Managers,  ZWV Associates, and DEN Airport Sustainability team about how concessions are performing, rates of contamination, and ideas for improvement and/or increased efficiencies for the program. ZWV Managers will weigh each waste stream from each concession and record that weight, along with any instances of contamination, using specially designed software. This data will be used by Scraps and DEN to report on the impact of the pilot program and to generate progress reports for the concessions themselves. After recording weights, ZWV Managers will bring the waste to the proper disposal area (chute, compactor, toter, etc) throughout the concourse. As the program evolves, we expect that ZWV Managers will reduce the amount of waste transportation and weighing they perform daily and step into a more managerial role for newly hired ZWV Associates.
