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.  

Cambria Contracting Recycling & Reclamation

Cambria Contracting is wholly aware and committed to the significant benefits recycling and reclamation can provide to the environment, our clientele, and the communities our project sites are found within.  These processes work to lower costs, keep watersheds safe, and keep precious materials in use.  Cambria Contracting makes it a point that their staff receives annual training about the latest developments in reusable waste.  It is this up to date knowledge that allows our engineers to consider items for recycling that wouldn't be caught by other organizations.

There are many items which can be re-used and many of them traditionally come to mind when the topic of recycling is breached.  Items from concrete, to roofing shingles, to different types of plastic all typically have a good re-sell value on the scrap market.  Cambria Contracting is affiliated with several firms who deal solely with these issues and can count on these relationships to expedite the reclamation process and allow for fluid transfers to keep projects on time.  Yet another reason that Cambria Contracting is the most preferred demolition firm in North America.

Concrete can be used as a base level material for landfills, along with most glass.  This provides a flat bed that ensures no greases, liquids or other potentially dangerous fluids can seep into the water table.  Roofing shingles and other tar based waste can be recycled into new forms of asphalt ready to be turned into the new highways of the country.

These are just a few of the items that Cambria Contracting incorporates into its asset salvage programs.  But more and more other businesses are popping up and taking the obscure or small and finding new uses for them.  It is this drive to staying on the front lines of salvage, that allows Cambria to put forth lower bids to their clients.  Just another reason to choose Cambria Contracting.
