We wanted to note some of the recycling efforts on the project thus far. Metals are salvaged and sent to recycling plants, concrete and masonry are processed and reused on site, and asphalt is collected for use in new paving products. As much as possible, materials are processed on site for reuse in the new building, while excess materials are put to use in other construction projects. In this way, waste is minimized.
Recycling/processing of the concrete via a giant crusher. This material will be salvaged for the duration of the construction to armor the site in the winter months. In the spring, it will be hauled off for recycling at a concrete recycling facility.
One of the trees removed to make way for development of the new elementary school and its associated parking/access drives. The tree will be salvaged as a site feature in the new building's rain gardens.
