On October 22, 2015, StopWaste hosted a half-day workshop focused on best practices in meeting and implementing C&D recycling in Alameda County and the Bay Area. Presenters shared their experiences with achieving high diversion rates on building projects seeking to meet code, attain LEED certification, or targeting zero waste. Attendees included builders, contractors, facility operators, designers, and city & county officials.  The audio recording and presentations may be downloaded here.
