We are leading the way in asset recovery, and recycling metal and other materials from your demolition site. We can recoup a substantial amount of your expense by preserving and selling materials that have a secondary market. You reap the savings! The materials that we typically recycle include:

• Steel Recycling. This product is the supporting material of most industrial and commercial buildings and structure.
• Concrete Recycling. Once a huge waste product it is now crushed and reused for many applications. It can often be processed at the job site to save expensive hauling.
• Copper. The inside conductor of most wire and also used in plumbing, this is the most valuable of all the common construction metals.
• Aluminum. Aluminum and recycling go hand in hand today. This metal is cheaper to process and reuse than to mine bauxite ore and create new aluminum. It is common in cables, windows and doors, ductwork, light poles, gutters and siding. The demand on the secondary market is huge.
• PVC Pipe. Used in electrical construction and plumbing.
• Lamp ballasts. These may number in the thousands in some large commercial buildings.
