• Using the LEED rating system allows contractors the option to earn “points” for taking environmentally-friendly actions during demolition and construction. LEED was launched in an effort to accelerate the development and implementation of green building practices. Contractors can earn LEED points not only in the disposal of concrete rubble but also through the use of recycled materials.

  • Trinity Crushed Concrete provides contractors involved in a LEED project an excellent opportunity to acquire points by recycling concrete rubble while gaining points by using our high quality finished products produced through the crushing and recycling process.

  • POSSIBLE LEED POINT ALLOCATIONS

    Construction and Waste Management (Materials and Resources Credit 2): 1-2 possible points

    Recycled Content (Materials and Resources Credit 4): 1-2 possible points

    Regional Materials (Materials and Resources Credit 5): 1-2 possible points

Recycling Concrete Benefits

Recycling concrete offers many benefits to both your budget and the environment. Landfill costs for construction-related debris continue to rise, and the cost of transporting the debris from one area to another is an additional expense. Instead of spending money on transport and disposal, recycling creates considerable savings.

In addition to rising costs, landfills are also becoming more heavily regulated, which means that many contractors and homeowners are finding it difficult to dispose of certain materials, including concrete. By recycling concrete, you no longer need to worry about the landfill regulations and instead can dispose of your materials in a reusable way.

Recycling concrete is also extremely beneficial for the environment. Concrete waste takes up a significant portion of landfills, and many cannot accommodate its size and volume. Recycling keeps these materials out of the landfill and allows them to be reused in other applications. Recycling also saves energy that would otherwise be used to mine, process, or transport new aggregates, which is also beneficial to the environment.
