MEET OUR TEAM
Mark Clark, Clean Team Manager
Our new Clean Team Manager, Mark Clark, comes to us from the Arts District BID where he was supervisor. Mark joined Chrysalis five years ago and quickly accepted and shined in leadership roles. He has a passion for graffiti removal and landscaping. Mark hit the ground running and is already making improvements throughout our District!
Trash Talk: Better Management Can Equal Lower Costs
Last month, Athens Services presented their business-focused waste management and recycling methods at our Board Meeting. They addressed issues Venice Beach faces such as limited dumpster space and implementation of new mandates by the City of Los Angeles.
The Venice Beach BID is partnering with Athens to implement improvements, including a split bin (recycling/trash) which could save money and space. We’ll come out to your business to conduct site-specific waste assessments, provide recycling/organic waste training, and help you determine best practices to improve waste management.
To sign up for our trash management service, email admin@venicebeachbid.com.
Let’s Talk Safety: Tips and Training to Help Keep Our District Safer
Our VB BID Safe Team wants to ensure that you and your business/property stay safe! We will come out to address your site-specific concerns, give our recommendations, and provide services for issues we can address. The Venice Beach BID also provides FREE onsite training in basic de-escalation techniques as well as disaster preparedness and response. If you’re interested, please contact admin@venicebeachbid.com.
