Most of the salvage that Cambria Contracting comes across is metal. Most of it can easily be cleaned and re-sold on the market as simple scrap. Sometimes it requires decontamination efforts but Cambria Contracting is more than happy to take this step as it usually is required by the DEC in general, but also allows for the material in question to be re-used. Often times in industrial cases, many of the metal components of an old plant, if extracted correctly, can be re-sold and incorporated to new plants throughout the world. Cambria Contracting see this re-use as one of the many duties it is responsible for to make sure full value is gained from any and all materials or machines.
In fact, there are many things most contractors do not realize can and are recycled. Again, this is where Cambria Contracting again displays how important it is to remain on the forefront of industry knowledge. Roofing shingles can now be made into asphalt. Plastics of all densities are re-used to make tough, pallets for industrial use. Metals are scrapped to be re-used again, unless they are good-to-go components to be re-used in another facility.
This is easily one of Cambria Contracting's favorite parts of a demolition. It cuts owner's costs, keeps landfills from filling up and in some cases allows other construction projects to come in under budget by using a pre-owned item. Our commitment to the environment helps make the difference. It is just one of the many reasons Cambria Contracting has excelled as North America's premier demolition company.
