Even though the majority of construction waste is recyclable, the overall recycling rate for
construction and demolition waste in NYC is estimated to be less than 50 percent. Cooper
Recycling
in Brooklyn is maximizing material recovery by using custom-engineered equipment
and state-of-the-art technology.

On April 24, join Urban Green’s Emerging Professionals for a tour of Cooper Recycling’s
construction and demolition recycling facility in Brooklyn. You’ll get a firsthand look at the
recycling process and learn about certification and processing.

Cooper Recycling is an active transfer station. All tour participants are required to wear the following:

Additionally, the ground will be slippery, the environment can be dusty, and we will be climbing
stairs. Anyone with asthma or difficulty walking should not come on the tour. We also ask that you do not take pictures, videos or other recordings during the tour or presentation. For any accessibility questions, please contact programs@urbangreencouncil.org.

We will end our tour with the EP Spring Happy Hour at Honey’s. Happy hour registration is automatically included in tour registration, but you can also register for happy hour separately.
You do not have to register for the tour to attend the happy hour.
