Thank you Glide Youth Build!
We had a wonderful day last week working with Glide Youth to implement our workplan around construction waste management. The youth built out bins and starting sourcing material for either re-use or waste diversion. We were joined by Kevin Drew, who is the construction waste management direct at the SF Department of the Environment, and founder of Building Resources. Thank you to Jeff and Steve of Glide for working with us and especially Andey Nunes for coordinating the day!
