How do I go green?

Consider using pervious concrete for your driveway or walkway, or use gravel or recycled wood chipping for driveways or garden paths to provide similar function, with less environmental impact and better drainage.

Reuse old paving stones as flowerpot stands or to create a decorative border around a raised flowerbed.

Contact facilities directly regarding restrictions and charges.

  • The Environmental Story

    Concrete is a locally produced construction material. It can safely incorporate a number of recycled materials such as fly ash, slag and silica fume, which are byproducts of other industries to enhance the properties of concrete. Aggregates and water are being recycled in ever-increasing amounts during the production of concrete. These practices benefit our landfill space and our environment.

    Durability is a significant sustainable attribute of concrete because it will not rust, rot, or burn, requiring less energy and resources over time to repair or replace. However, since this sturdy material will withstand the test of weather and time, concrete should not end up in a landfill and should be recycled at an appropriate facility.
