Join us in Everett as we dive into an essential and timely topic: construction recycling.

Presented by Jennine Zari, construction sales manager at WM.

The construction industry is a major contributor to global waste, filling up landfills and harming the environment. But it also holds incredible potential for positive change.

In this presentation, we’ll cover:
• Why Recycling Matters: Discover how recycling in construction isn’t just good for the planet but also saves money and conserves resources.
• What Can Be Recycled: Learn about common materials like concrete, metal, wood, and asphalt, and how they can be given a new life.
• Innovative Solutions: Explore cutting-edge techniques and technologies that are revolutionizing construction waste management.
• Success Stories: See real-world examples of how recycling has benefited construction projects.
• Local Regulations: Understand the specific rules for construction debris in King & Snohomish Counties.

By adopting recycling practices, we can cut down on waste, shrink our environmental footprint and pave the way for a more sustainable future. Let’s explore how we can make construction a force for good!
