Chester County Recycling Location Dashboard (https://www.arcgis.com/apps/dashboards/499a6344d5614702a23be20a4b92f612) is a tool that allows residents to locate entities that accept specific items for donation. The goal is to direct recyclable items away from landfills. The dashboard allows the user to select specific recycling items from a drop down menu. When an item is selected a table with the corresponding donation location will populate. Each entity will have its specific information listed along with a link to the website. The dashboard was the outcome of two government entities working together for the same outcome. This was a great collaboration between Chester County DCIS GIS Department and the Chester County Solid Waste Authority. The public is the target audience for the dashboard.
