The National Demolition Association, Doylestown, Pa., has announced it will hold its inaugural Symposium on the State of Construction and Demolition Debris Recycling in Chicago in October 2009. The exact date of the event has not been determined.

"This gathering of government regulators, industry professionals and members of academia is designed to provide a forum to discuss ways to increase the amount of construction waste and demolition debris being recycled globally," said Michael Taylor, executive director of the National Demolition Association, in a press release. "In addition to dealing with such diverse issues as stormwater management, diesel emissions, the impact of our activity on global warming and hazardous materials handling, the association wants to maximize the reuse of the commodities generated on our project sites every day.”
