Mayfair is getting "greener"
Susie Ane-Vega of Waste Management of Dade County, made a presentation to the Merchants of Mayfair in the Grove this morning, over breakfast, provided by The Bookstore in the Grove.In 1992 it was mandated that offices would go green. But the process was complicated -- office workers had to remove staples, bindings and other debris from paperwork before they could be put in a recycle bin. This requirement has now been eliminated making it easier for offices to participate.
Ed Prelaz, Property Manager of the Mayfair, has been searching for a company that would provide a comprehensive service and Waste Management has provided a workable format with collection bins for each office and retailer.
Tenant Crispin, Porter and Buguski has been green for some time with recycle bins at each desk and a central collection system on every floor. Even Mayfair garbage will be used beneficially -- it will be burned in power plants that provide electricity to 60,000 homes in South Florida annually.

Grape,
These posts about local happenings would attract more comments if you included some mention of tripping over a homeless bum as part of the prose.
The Mayfair hotel has gone green by getting rid of their roof top swimming pool and sending all their guests over to the Sonesta hotel which was totally the idea of the GM at the Sonesta. Try to figure that out?
I'm sure the property manager at Mayfair is green, green with envy that other areas of Coconut Grove are beginning to get tenants while the Mayfair remains a poorly managed ghost town.
