Recycling Report (Good News) and Drywall

The May Recycling Report is in and we're back over 95% of the construction waste from the site being diverted from landfills!

Our project is implementing a job-site recycling program with a goal of diverting 75% of the project’s waste from landfills. To date 227.43 tons of material or 96.26% of the project’s waste has been diverted from landfills.

Matt Forrer (LEED AP), one of the construction managers from Butz/Burkey thinks that this percentage may increase over the next month as drywall (all recyclable) starts to be put into the building. The workers started hanging the drywall last week, a process that's expected to last about three weeks.
