We have officially cleared the International Code Council’s final Online Governmental Consensus Voting. This is a historic win for salvage lumber – it shines a light on our nationwide coalition’s strength.

Because of the coordinated outreach that Recycle Colorado's C&D and policy committee participated in along with many other across the US and world, ICC voters heard a clear, unified message. That message made a real impact.

Your collaboration, persistence, and solidarity carried salvage lumber across this milestone. Together, we keep good wood out of the landfill and see what’s possible when we align and strive for the sweet spot between innovation and regulation — empowering those who know their communities best to build their best communities.

A humble and sincere thank you for everything you’ve brought to this collective effort. We inspire each other.
