STAR North Texas Lunch & Learn

Join STAR for an afternoon of networking, learning, and connection as we explore the innovative Kerr Hall Furniture Project: Diverting Waste, Delivering Impact.

Hear from Brandi Rabalais of the City of Denton Solid Waste & Recycling Department as she shares how collaboration and creative problem-solving turned the University of North Texas student move-out period into a zero waste event.

Attendees will learn how Brandi orchestrated an impressive 91% diversion rate by working with haulers and nonprofit partners to divert tens of thousands of pounds of materials from local landfills. Discover how partnerships, planning, and coordination helped give furniture, household goods, and other materials a second life instead of sending them to disposal.

Connect with fellow recycling and sustainability professionals, exchange ideas, and learn how innovative partnerships can create meaningful environmental and community impact.
