Cambria Contracting's Recycling Efforts

Cambria Contracting is founded upon several principles that have aided the company in becoming North America's premiere demolition contractor.  One of the pillars Cambria Contracting stands on is the incorporation of recycling in its many forms.  By reducing the total amount of waste and debris entering the continent's landfills Cambria Contracting is able to fulfill a its responsibility as a demolition contractor.

Cambria Contracting's recycling efforts come in many forms and mediums, the result of the myriad of channels which material can be recycled through.  Cambria Contracting has built partnerships with corporations that specialize in the reuse of material and as such can quickly and effectively clear sites.  Most of the demolitions undertaken by Cambria Contracting allow for recycling opportunities in many different areas.  

Metals of all makes, alloys, and shapes can be recycled at scrap facilities throughout North America.  Growing in number, the rise in scrap metal recycling facilities represents the increasing awareness about recycling.  Scrap metal is usually priced per the ton and based upon composition.  Recent advances in technology have made it incredibly easy to quickly and accurately determine the exact combination of metals in salvage.  Some even in the form of a hand held device.  The use of metal in industrial facilities is manifest and yet another way Cambria Contracting not only reduces landfill waste, but keeps costs in check.  

Concrete is another material type that has a second life after a demolition.  Crushed into various categories based upon particle size, this material can be used as fill for projects reigning from residential to industrial construction.  Processed concrete is also frequently used in marine builds as well such as breakwalls or structural foundation reinforcements.

Roofing shingles are another component of construction debris that has become a recycled commodity.  After a short processing these old roofs are then used to create asphalt for paving projects.  Seen as low-cost, durable and cheap to prepare, more states are looking to adopt progressive policies that allow for the infusion of this type of demolition debris into road grade asphalt.

Cambria Contracting is often able to salvage whole parts from facilities and instead of scrapping them are refurbished and sold as used.  This is Cambria Contracting's ideal choice of reuse as it uses the least amount of energy, rarely sits around, and even provides and provides an immediate utility.  

There are dozens more items that can be and are recycled by Cambria Contracting.  We will be sure to go over our recycling, reuse, and upcycling methods in a series of posts coming up in the very near future.  If you have any questions about this, do feel free to comment or ask questions here and have them addressed by the professionals at Cambria Contracting.
