Hotel Achieves 97% Reuse and Recycling Rate for Renovation
Is your hotel planning a renovation? What will you do with the furnishings and equipment that need to go? This case study shows how a Pennsylvania hotel arranged for 4500 items to be reused or recycled in conjunction with their renovation.
If you are planning a renovation, I recommend that you read the "Keys to Success" section of the article, which explains how the project managers achieved their results.
