Site archetypes for circular pilots
Each PDF spread layers actors, waste inputs, conversion options, and benefit outcomes for a familiar site type—from WWTPs to transfer stations. They are meant for operator teams, grant writers, and community conveners who need a plug-and-play storyline.
Combine these diagrams with your coalition OS: assign conveners to each lane, speak directly to regional policy, and show your host the systems maturity. Drop the images into briefs, use the copy to explain why certain feedstocks matter, and keep the visuals in community meetings so the benefits stay visible.
Key takeaways
- Ten Hudson Valley-inspired archetypes demonstrate how transfers, WWTPs, landfills, composters, and resource recovery partners can interlink.
- Each diagram calls out flows, constraints, and partner touchpoints so you can speak precisely about responsibilities and value creation.
- Use the same diagrams as discussion artifacts—share them in workshops, pair them with partner lane commitments, and archive them in your pilot binder.
Featured archetype: Westchester County WWTP
This municipal WWTP archetype layers diversion, residual reuse, and monitoring commitments so hauling routes and emissions dialogues stay grounded in community trust.
Use this story to explain how a municipal WWTP can anchor dense hauling networks and deliver EJ-centered benefits.
