Speaker Abstract
This presentation is about Oakland's approach to administering CalGreen recycling requirements. Beginning with a brief overview of Oakland's construction and demolition recycling requirements, the presentation will then share our experience with creating working collaborations across departments with Oakland's Planning and Building Services staff and how we worked to design and implement automated software systems, which now communicate with each other and that help us manage the current construction and demolition recycling program. I will also share Oakland's plans to increase automation between two different software systems which will reduce manual data entry and help us to meet the CalGreen requirements for recycling. The strategy we'll demonstrate, will work well for any City with limited staff resources to manage the day-to-day work to ensure and document recycling is compliant at all residential and non-residential construction projects.
