Process

How do we recycle?

  1. Construction debris loads are transported to S.H. Carter Recycle Center to be sorted by material for recycling.
  2. Loads are dumped out and segregated according to correct material by our equipment and employees.
  3. Loads are segregated into these separate material- wood, concrete, metal, sheetrock, cardboard, bricks, asphalt, plastic bottles, aluminum cans.
  4. Segregated materials are either processed to a recyclable product at S.H. Carter recycle facility or they are sent elsewhere for future processing.
