This 1-hour class digs into construction and demolition (C&D) waste and discusses alternatives to standard demolition like deconstruction and building material salvage. The purpose of this session is to introduce real-life solutions to reduce C&D waste and offer resources for connecting with local salvage organizations.
This course is approved for 1 hour of CE credit for Real Estate Agents, Building Officials, and Residential Contractors, and it is open to all. Homeowners planning a renovation project, contractors, and anyone interested in creating a more sustainable future are welcome to attend. Thanks to the generosity of our instructors, who have donated their time to create and host this class, people not seeking CE credit can attend at no cost.
The instructors are Olivia Cashman (Hennepin County), Molly Flynn (Ramsey County), and Melissa Wenzel (Minnesota Pollution Control Agency). Olivia and Molly will discuss the evolution of the deconstruction industry and share the latest news on efforts to reduce C&D waste in the Twin Cities Metro. Melissa Wenzel from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency will introduce the topic and share a statewide perspective on built environment sustainability.
Tickets are $15 for CE Credit. If you are interested in attending this course as a general lecture (not for credit), join at no cost!
