Bode's Hazardous Material Business plan was submitted to the City's Certified Unified Program Agency, the body which implements environmental programs within its jurisdiction. During the process, the city's representative helps the management team identify standard shop practices that could be improved. Our plan calls for recycling as many maintenance materials as possible: waste oil and filters, antifreeze, batteries, wood, and metal. Mechanics now have hydrophobic mops to clean up oily spills and antifreeze as there are no floor drains in the truck maintenance shop.

The result was effective. Bode was recognized as San Francisco 's first and only city-certified "clean and green" concrete producer in 2003 and has remained "clean and green" every year since.. But here at Bode, we've taken recycling one step further with our state of the art reclaimer.
