OUTCOMES:
The ESAP goal of increasing the City’s diversion rate of recyclable materials from the waste stream will require a significant increase in the amount of tonnage diverted from landfill disposal from the City of Redmond. Construction and Demolition debris from development and construction projects in the city provides a great opportunity to increase diversion. Encouraging construction and demolition debris towards reuse rather than landfilling will also reduce the greenhouse gas emissions associated with new building materials.
COMMUNITY/STAKEHOLDER OUTREACH AND INVOLVEMENT:
• Timeline (previous or planned):
Much of the consultant contract for this project is devoted to outreach to stakeholders and community members as the program is implemented.

Future work will involve outreach and education to the development and demolition contractors in the 1 year lead up to the effective date of the ordinance.
• Outreach Methods and Results:
Executive interviews of stakeholders and subject matter experts have been completed, and we have conducted internal stakeholder engagement with the Planning Department, Sustainability staff, and Public Works staff. The engagement work and findings are outlined in the attached memo.
• Feedback Summary:
Interviews have been completed with industry stakeholders including C&D processors, waste haulers, environmental advocacy groups and the development community. We have received constructive feedback from each sector that will help in shaping a Redmond specific C&D program.
