Philadelphians deserve a clean and waste-free future regardless of their zip code. We’re proud to support the #WasteFreePhilly agenda for the next mayor. Check it out online and take action to urge mayoral candidates to adopt the agenda: https://t.co/r4ntQrErqS

We're @CircularPHL's monthly featured member and yep, we've got some thoughts on #circularity

We’re very excited to see that circular infrastructure materials from local company @AeroAggregates will be such an important part of the I-95 rebuild. #circulareconomy

[The Philadelphia Inquirer @PhillyInquirer]

Aero Aggregates of North America, based in Delco, turns glass into a lightweight, engineered gravel. It's the same material contractors will rely on to rebuild the damaged section of Interstate 95. https://t.co/jMR1vsJmiQ

Tune in to @onwurd this morning at 11:20 to hear our Director of Policy & Engagement @NicEsposito1 discuss Philly’s junkyard fires with @ellisonreport on @ecowurd. Junkyards are an important part of our #circulareconomy infrastructure, but they must be properly regulated.

[Circular Philadelphia @CircularPHL]

From @revolutionrecovery’s Fern Gookin: we need to build markets for these recycled construction materials to make #circularity truly work in the built environment.

[Circular Philadelphia @CircularPHL]

Taneesha Maxwell of T Maxwell Junk Removal talks about the importance of engaging small-scale haulers in policy conversations to help reduce #illegaldumping through affordable C&D recycling options.

[Circular Philadelphia @CircularPHL]

Our Director of Policy & Engagement @NicEsposito1 breaks down the #circulareconomy and how it relates to the built environment at @GreenBldgUnited’s 2023 #Sustainability Symposium.

[Circular Philadelphia @CircularPHL]

These investments alone represent more of the same failed strategy to clean up our city. This will not get us to a #WasteFreePhilly. We need a fundamental shift in approach (and leadership).

[WHYY News @WHYYNews]

Included in Mayor Kenney's proposed $6 million budget are new investments in litter and illegal dumping cleanup.

Advocates say the budget doesn't go far enough.

@tough_schmidt_ explains.

[Circular Philadelphia @CircularPHL]

The next mayor must change this & that starts with replacing @philastreets leadership at the very top. We have no hope of achieving a #WasteFreePhilly or a #circulareconomy if we can’t be transparent & have real conversations. No more obfuscation. No more lies from Streets. (9/9)

[Circular Philadelphia @CircularPHL]

A lesson in why Philly desperately needs transparency and new leadership at @philastreets as told by one misleading (and probably bogus) map provided to @WHYYnews’s @tough_schmidt_ for her latest on #streetsweeping: https://t.co/L73bsHWUZk (1/9)

[Circular Philadelphia @CircularPHL]

If the litter index was completed in 2021, why wait until 2023 to release this map? Community leaders could have been using this data for two whole years to target resources that make their neighborhoods cleaner and safer. Why sit on this unless @philastreets wants control? (8/9)
