Recycling & Eco-Friendly Disposal
We keep as much debris out of landfills as possible.
Look, we\'re not going to pretend that hauling away construction debris is some kind of green crusade. But we do think it\'s worth making an effort to recycle what we can and dispose of things properly instead of just dumping everything in a landfill.
Here's what we actually do to minimize waste.
How We Handle Different Materials
Metal
All metal goes to scrap recycling. Copper piping, steel beams, aluminum siding, old fixtures - we separate it out and take it to a metal recycler.
Usable Materials
Good condition cabinets, doors, windows, or fixtures? We donate them to ReStore or similar organizations. Someone else can use them instead of them taking up space in a landfill.
Wood
Clean lumber that\'s not painted or treated can be recycled. A lot of it gets ground up for mulch or biomass fuel.
Concrete & Masonry
Concrete gets crushed and recycled into aggregate for road base or new concrete. It\'s heavy and a pain to deal with, but at least it doesn\'t have to go to waste.
Drywall
When possible, we take drywall to facilities that recycle it into new drywall or use it as a soil amendment. Not every facility accepts it, but we use ones that do when we can.
What About the Rest?
Some stuff can\'t be recycled - mixed debris, contaminated materials, certain types of composite materials. That goes to licensed disposal facilities. We\'re not dumping it illegally somewhere, which is more than you can say for some cheaper haulers.
We use legitimate transfer stations and landfills that follow proper regulations. It costs us more, but that\'s the right way to do it.
Why Bother?
You Don\'t Pay Extra for This
Recycling and proper disposal are part of our normal service. We\'re not charging you a premium to feel good about it - it\'s just how we operate.
