Sometimes all it takes is a single greasy pizza box..... *estimates vary by state/processor #olyns #recycle #The Recycling Partnership CalRecycle #recycleplasticbottles #sustainability #circulareconomy

As we celebrate Earth Day at Regent, we find it more important than ever to shine a light on initiatives we've introduced to further enhance the environmental friendliness of our properties. 

 ➡ E-Waste Disposal

 Our properties in Austin (TX), Dallas (TX), San Diego (CA), and Carlsbad (CA) regularly organize E-waste recycling events. We make things simple by providing opportunities for tenants to ethically dispose of their old electronics and gadgets. By participating, it’s easier than ever for members of these communities to actively contribute to reducing electronic waste and fostering environmental responsibility.

 ➡ Document Shredding
 Trammell Crow Center in Dallas, TX conducts frequent shredding services powered by Balcones. As a result of shredding paper, tenants can experience peace of mind, protect sensitive information, and help cut down on the amount of paper being thrown into landfills by up to 60%.
 ➡ Eyeglasses Donation Drive
 Last month, Trammell Crow Center, our corporate offices in Los Angeles and Dallas, and all Regent Property Management offices participated in a unique recycling program to help those in need to collect used eyeglasses, sunglasses, and unused contact lenses. This ethical approach to spring cleaning aimed to make a difference by providing resources that could help children with reading, adults with career success, and seniors with independence.
 ➡ Organic Waste Programs

 In San Diego, CA, at 1 Columbia Place, 2 Columbia Place, and 701B, we are proud to introduce a comprehensive organic waste recycling program across our buildings. This initiative aligns with California State Senate Bill 1383 (SB 1383), aimed at reducing organic waste in landfills, to make the city a more sustainable and thriving place for everyone. We are delighted to champion an essential cause and a significant milestone in San Diego's waste management history.
 ➡ Earth Hour

 March 23rd marked an exciting day in the Dallas Arts District at Trammell Crow Center as the property rallied tenants to partake in Earth Hour. Demonstrating our dedication to reducing our environmental impact and advocating for eco-conscious habits, TCC dimmed non-essential lights and minimized appliance usage for one hour. #RegentProperties #RegentPM #EarthDay #SustainablePractices
