GBB to Co-Sponsor and Assist in Planning C&D Recycling Forum
Key Event to Take Place October 3-5, 2010, in Baltimore, MD

(Fairfax, VA – June 14, 2010) – Gershman, Brickner & Bratton, Inc. (GBB) announced today that it will be actively involved in the planning of a C&D Recycling Forum, which will take place October 3-5, 2010 at the Sheraton Inner Harbor Hotel in Baltimore, MD.  The event is being organized by Construction & Demolition Recycling magazine and co-sponsored by GBB and the National Demolition Association.

The forum will offer a wide scope of programming focused on how to be competitive and maximize opportunities in the Construction Waste and Demolition Debris Recycling (C&D) sector. The conference will offer several key opportunities to attendees: programming focused on operational efficiency and maximizing recovered material value; workshops on safety and considerations when entering the mixed C&D recycling sector; and networking opportunities for recyclers and contractors to make new connections and alliances.

GBB is a recognized leader in providing C&D waste management consulting and assisting clients in developing sound and cost-effective approaches to improve the handling, processing, recycling, and/or disposal of C&D waste materials. “We are very pleased to be able to assist in the planning of this event,” noted Bob Brickner, GBB Executive Vice President. “Drawing from our extensive C&D waste consulting expertise over the past 20 years and network of contacts across the United States, along with years of attending and organizing solid waste industry events, we believe that we can make a very positive contribution in making this C&D Forum a success.”

Mr. Brickner will speak at two joint sessions:

Monday, October 4, 2010 - 9:00 - 10:30 a.m.
Mr. Brickner will review the history and evolution of the mixed C&D recycling industry and how the materials have been processed and recycled over the past 20 years.

Tuesday, October 5, 2010 - 9:00 - 10:30 a.m.
Mr. Brickner will present a case study of the demolition and recycling of the 30-year-old Nashville Thermal Waste-to-Energy facility and discuss how the project obtained 98.5 percent recycling at a fraction of the initial estimated costs.
