Construction and Wood Recycling
Construction and Wood Recycling – All in One Box
Recycling is good for construction company bottom lines and also benefits the environment. Sunshine Disposal & Recycling has made it easy and cost effective to recycle construction and demolition (C&D) waste using a single container. All recyclables go into one box and are sorted by Sunshine Disposal at their transfer station & sorting facility.
Earn LEED® Points while saving time & money
About 8,000 lbs of waste are typically thrown into the landfill during the construction of a 2,000 square foot home, up to 95% of materials at a typical construction site are recoverable. Recycling these materials costs less than disposing of them, and recycling keeps them out of landfills. With the growing commitment of businesses and consumers to “green” buildings, the recycling of C&D materials becomes a marketing tool and competitive advantage!
Accurate & Accountable
We own and operate a transfer station, which enables Sunshine Disposal & Recycling to provide accurate data on recyclable materials, as required for LEED® points. We weigh all product – waste and recycling -- so customers are able to more accurately budget their disposal costs for future projects.
In addition, our recycling services are audited – providing assurance that all materials are recycled in accordance with industry standards.
