"In the United States, construction and demolition debris (the waste produced in the course of constructing, renovating, and demolishing buildings) accounts for 10 percent to as much as 30 percent of the total municipal waste stream." - Austin Energy Green Building.

According to the National Association of Home Builders Research Center, "The construction of a 2,000 square foot home will generate approximately four tons of debris, all of which is typically disposed of in landfills."  And that's only a "typical" 2000 sq ft home which is smaller than many of the newer homes. By employing on-site grinding and recycling, we can reduce the amount of waste dumped in a landfill up to 78% by volume or 85% by weight.  On-site grinding converts a waste product into a usable, environmentally friendly, resource material.

Less administrative efforts, competitive pricing and the benefits of recycling make Construction Waste Recycler of Texas a wise choice for all your construction waste needs.
