Secure Structure Alliance delivers community programs that improve stormwater quality, strengthen waste-management practices, and support hazard-resistant building throughout our region. Our initiatives help cities, businesses, and residents reduce pollution, improve public safety, and build long-term resilience against environmental risks.

Our work focuses on two essential pillars that directly align with municipal environmental objectives and climate-resilience strategies:

Pillar 1: Waste-Management Improvements & Stormwater Protection

Improper waste handling is a major contributor to local pollution, runoff contamination, and avoidable municipal maintenance costs. Our programs help reduce these impacts through education, compliance outreach, and community involvement.

Included Programs:

• Adopt-A-Dumpster™

A partnership program that improves the cleanliness and maintenance of community dumpster areas through local sponsorships and routine oversight.

• Secure Dumpster™

A compliance-focused initiative helping HOAs, commercial properties, and businesses prevent rainwater contamination and support SB-1383 and stormwater requirements.

• Public Education & Training

Clear, accessible resources for residents and businesses on preventing pollution, closing lids, reducing contamination, and improving neighborhood cleanliness.

Municipal Benefits:

• Reduced stormwater pollution

• Lower maintenance costs for public spaces

• Improved compliance with state regulations

• Cleaner, safer, more attractive communities

• Documented environmental impact for reporting and grants

Pillar 2: Hazard-Resistant Building & Sustainable Construction

Communities in California face increasing risks from wildfires, flooding, earthquakes, and extreme weather. Our hazard-resistant building programs help promote safer construction practices, sustainable materials, and long-term resilience.

Included Initiatives:

• Resilient Building Education

Guidance for homeowners, builders, and municipalities on techniques that reduce fire risk, structural damage, and environmental impact.

• Sustainable & Non-Combustible Materials

Advocacy for steel framing, high-durability materials, and low-maintenance construction that improves safety and reduces lifecycle waste.

• Wildfire & Flood Mitigation Outreach

Educational content that supports preparedness, defensible space planning, and hazard-resistant retrofits.

Municipal Benefits:

• Reduced risk of structure loss

• Improved public safety during disasters

• Lower environmental impact and waste

• Stronger, more resilient housing and infrastructure

• Support for long-term climate-adaptation goals

Our Integrated Approach

Waste-management improvement and hazard-resistant building are deeply connected.
Both determine how clean, safe, and resilient a community can be.

Secure Structure Alliance delivers programs that address these issues together by:

• Reducing pollution at the source

• Improving construction durability and safety

• Supporting citywide compliance goals

• Strengthening community engagement

• Providing measurable environmental outcomes

• Aligning with state and federal resilience priorities
