TIPS
Tips on how to recycle smart!
Q: How does recycling apply to home construction and renovation?
A: Home building and remodeling involve a lot of materials that can end up in the recycling/reuse stream rather than in a landfill. Most common building materials-wood, shingles, steel, drywall, copper, brick and concrete-can be recycled or reclaimed for future use, so product labels that read "100 percent recyclable" are somewhat meaningless unless there's a mandated or recycling program in place,
Take The Extra Step!
If you have a building or remodeling project in the works, ask your contractor to recycle old or leftover materials. And where possible, specify new products that feature at least 25 percent post-consumer recycled materials. If you're doing the work yourself, bring the leftover materials to us or call us for a bin.
