“So just simply, if you think about what happens in the single-family home community, we get these bulk pickups, right? So every landscaping contractor and their mother throws all that landscaping material on those bulk pickups, right? so that's where all that debris ends up getting landfilled what the idea of the second the third bin is is to have a weekly pickup of landscaping material so that you don't get a much higher diversion rate that's the thought process here and that's a big part of the whole sustainability movement is to get no one wants to build another landfill right so that's…”

“Can we discuss what we mean properly? So if these are sand set pavers, we're gonna continue having problems with them. So the question is, If we rebuild the structure underneath the street using concrete or some appropriate surface, we'll relay the pavers back down.

“I would like to offer a thought, Jeremy. Sure. When we do high-rise projects, we bus people in and out of the projects, okay? And, for example, when my crews come in, they're required to drop off and go find off-site parking, okay? You know, the park has, I mean, I'm not going to put words in the mouth, but the Build Bags Park has provided this service to many of these high-rise projects when they're doing concrete restoration. There should be a means and method for the contractors with their subcontractors to be able to drop their employees and go off-site parking, okay? I appreciate the…”
