Re: [GreenYes] adding recycling requirements to conditions of approval

[Gary Liss <gary@garyliss.com>]

Sharon,

One of the best examples I know of is the Playa Vista project in
LA.  There's a description in a case study I did for the CIWMB (see
http://www.ciwmb.ca.gov/LGLibrary/Innovations/BizRecycle/CaseStudies.htm). 
Also, they will be speaking in the session I organized at the CRRA in
Oakland, CA on 7/16 on "Zero Waste Businesses," as they
accomplished >90% diversion from the initial demolition efforts in
preparing their site for development, in response to the permit
requirement.
