Support the Healthy Growth of Our Community

As our cities grow, our waste needs do, too. But not all of that waste has to end up in landfills or incinerators. 25% of the C&D waste we process is reclaimed for new uses.

Resources We Repurpose

Metals

Commonly recovered metals include steel, aluminum, and copper. These materials are sent to scrap yards or recyclers where they can be melted down and formed into new products.

Rock

Recovered rock can be recycled for use in landscaping or construction projects, or crushed into gravel for driveways and walkways.

Wood

Large timber and lumber can be reused as building materials, while smaller pieces of clean, untreated wood are chipped or ground for use in engineered wood products, fuel, and mulch.

Brick & Concrete

Clean, whole bricks can be reused. Brick and concrete pieces are crushed, screened, and recycled as road base, general fill, and drainage material.

Cardboard

Cardboard is shredded and pulped and can be turned into new cardboard products, such as boxes, or repurposed in compost or as animal bedding.
