Plan Your Strategy Before Anything Else!

Plan Your Strategy Before Anything Else!

Before any great build, there is a great demolition. Remember that always. When you see that new shopping center or new office building going up in your neighborhood, imagine the planning that went into the demolition of the building prior to it. Every contracting company makes a plan for disposal strategy before the first brick or metal is touched. This could be from manually doing it for a smaller demo to using heavy machinery if it is a larger demo. Either way, the key is having a plan.

There is a certain way to dispose of concrete as well. Concrete cannot just go in your trash bin for the local garbage crew to pick up. And if it is a larger job, such as an entire building, then you have no choice but to opt into heavy hauling and excavating machinery. The good thing is there are companies around like Crete Crush who know how to handle concrete and who will recycle it to keep it out of landfills.

There are several different concrete recyclers or recycling services available if you look for them. But just because you find one online it does not mean that they are following OSHA and regulation guidelines for safety and health reform. You will want to check the reputation of the company you find. You will not want to find yourself on a list of organizations that were done wrong by a certain recycling company.

Another aspect to consider while you are planning a strategy is the weight of your recyclable material. Even if you have a 1-ton truck you will still need to make multiple trips to a landfill to move only 5,000 pounds! Imagine how much man power, time, and money you would save having a recycling company do it all for you, possibly free of charge.
