Parmenter Realty Partners Donates Recycled Copper Proceeds to Hillside in Atlanta, GA

MIAMI, Fla., June 17, 2013 – Parmenter Realty Partners recently donated the proceeds of recycled copper to Hillside in Atlanta, a private, nonprofit organization offering services for children and adolescents who have severe emotional and behavioral issues. The program provides treatment and education to help these children become future self-sustaining citizens. The idea was initiated by Mark Dortch, Parmenter Realty Partners’ Chief Engineer at Overllook III, 160 Clairemont Avenue, and 1000 Parkwood Circle.

While on a walk-through of a demolition job for a tenant build-out at Overlook III, Mark discovered some unused old insulated pipes. “After investigating the pipes in detail, I realized that the pipes were made of copper which is currently selling at $2.90 a pound at the scrap yard,” said Mark Dortch. “That is when I came up with the idea to recycle the copper and donate the money to Hillside.”

Mark contacted other Parmenter Realty Partners’ buildings in the area that were also doing tenant build-outs. Together with other Parmenter engineers, and with permission of the superintendent of the construction crews, they were able to collect a total of 1.5 tons of copper scrap for a donation of $850.15 to Hillside.

“We are very proud of what Mark was able to accomplish with this project,” said Andrew Weiss, Managing Principal and COO of Parmenter Realty Partners. “While it might seem small, we are looking into the possibility of expanding this program to our other properties. It is our goal as a company to foster and encourage an environment where our employees can take initiatives like these that benefit our communities. Our success as a company is due to the dedication of our employees who are focused on every aspect of the operation, ensuring the highest standards to produce tenant satisfaction and sustainability.”
