A brief description of programs, policies, infrastructure investments, outreach efforts, and/or other factors that contributed to the diversion rate for construction and demolition waste:
During two of our demolishing and remodeling projects, for an office building and health center, we held an open recovery day for employees. This allowed employees to retrieve items that would have normally been a part of the demolition/remodel. Items such as flooring, shelving, lockers, desks, chairs, lighting, light fixtures, plumbing and cabinetry. We also worked with the local Habitat for Humanity to repurpose windows.
