The Illinois Recycling Association has named Dan Bulley the winner of the Outstanding Large Event Recycling Award. Bulley is the executive director of the Green Construction Institute and served as the Chair of the Volunteer Committee for Greenbuild 2007.

He earned the award for his efforts driving recycling at the Greenbuild 2007 event, which generated 44 tons of waste materials, according to a press release.

As chair of the Volunteer Committee, Bulley was in charge of 300 volunteers, college students from across the country, who sorted the material so it could be recycled or composted.

Accoding to Bulley, 91 percent of the material, or 40 tons, from the Greenbuild event was diverted from landfills.
