In this webinar, Tom Patzkowski, Director of Donations at Community Forklift, shared the social, economic, and environmental justice impacts of providing equitable access to reusable materials for households with limited resources and community organizations serving the greater good.
The big takeaway? Community Forklift is more than a thrift store for C&D materials; it provides low-cost building materials to the community and local businesses with limited resources, reduces the costs of collecting and transporting waste to the local landfills while saving landfill space, provides creative space for the local community, and creates green jobs which boost the local economy.
