Recycling

Asphalt shingle grinding is the process of making recycled asphalt shingles (RAS). RAS is produced by grinding asphalt roofing shingles to a small spec, generally under 3/8” to salvage the valuable asphalt and sand. 

Concrete is one of the most recycled materials in the world and can be repurposed several times over. Once the existing concrete is demolished or torn up, it needs to be processed for accurate shaping and sizing using a crusher and screen. 

Construction and demolition recycling (C&D) is mixed material associated with construction and demolition. The material could include wood, cardboard, gypsum, plastic, metal, wire, roofing shingles, asphalt, concrete and more. By separating and recycling different materials it reduces landfill waste and associated costs, while also producing value-added products.

Municipal solid waste (MSW) consists of everyday items we use and then throw away, such as product packaging, furniture, clothing, bottles, food scraps and newspapers. These items come from our homes, schools, businesses, etc.

Natural disasters such as hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, fires or floods create debris that must be cleared to restore affected areas. This type of debris can be green waste (such as tree limbs), furniture, drywall or entire structures that have to be demolished and recycled.

The creosote treated railroad ties are a valuable energy source, once they have been broken down into a manageable and consistent size.

Recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) is asphalt paving material recovered from old road beds either by milling or excavation.

Processing nursery and agricultural waste with a horizontal grinder offers sustainable recycling solutions.

Compost is decomposed organic matter derived from either a single source material or blended for specific application performance. Materials can include garden debris, kitchen scraps, manure or yard and lawn waste.

Organic mulch is a product that can decompose, providing nutrients to the soil over time. It can be made from a variety of materials, typically organic, but not exclusively.

Green waste recycling is fresh or biodegradable waste material including grass, leaves, plants and tree trimmings that can be diverted from landfills for recycling. This method is best used to produce compost for use on gardens, lawns, erosion control projects and agricultural crops.

Salvage logging is the removal of dead or damaged trees from forestlands that have been damaged by wildfire, harsh winds, flood, disease, infestation of insects and other natural causes. 

Wood waste is the second largest category of construction and demolition (C&D) debris, and accounts for 10% of material added to landfills annually.
