While the concept seems simple, our Donation Program is a pioneer in its own right. Patriot has developed a network of legitimate, non-profit organizations and charities that can accept assets that have reached the end of their life-cycle. As experts in this area, we will work with all necessary departments within your company to cover any red tape or fine print we may encounter. Keep in mind that donated assets are diverted assets, thus minimizing your effect on the environment. (Reporting available for LEED projects)
Why donate and not recycle everything?
Two reasons:
1. Recycling takes energy, thus making donation a more eco-friendly activity and exactly why “reuse” is above “recycle” in the pyramid.
2. Donations are a form of philanthropy. Let the communities in which you do business know that you care by helping out within your region.
Brand Protection:
We understand that your branding is your most valuable asset. Patriot technicians have been trained to remove branding from fixtures, furniture, and any other items that may be seen the public eye.
Partners:
Our partners within the community help make all of this possible. Here is a list of some of the non-profits we have partnered with to make large scale asset donations possible:
- Habitat for Humanity
- Goodwill
- Local churches
- Local schools
All of our clients receive quarterly sustainability reporting. These reports will include items such as: diversion rate, carbon emissions, recycled weights and materials, donated assets, etc. Patriot has worked on numerous LEED certified buildings and handled reporting to certification agencies.
