The Role of Waste Eliminator in Managing Construction Debris

An increasing number of construction companies are pursuing LEED certification. Developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), LEED aims to promote the creation of sustainable buildings that are both energy-efficient and environmentally friendly.

This certification evaluates various aspects of a building's design and construction, including water usage, energy efficiency, air quality, material selection, and factors such as access to public transportation, responsible land use, and waste management practices.

One key requirement for LEED certification is the responsibility to handle waste generated during the construction process. Contractors must recycle a certain percentage of this waste to qualify for certification. This emphasis on waste reduction and recycling reflects LEED's commitment to sustainable construction practices and environmental stewardship.

At Waste Eliminator, we take pride in our unique approach to working with LEED-certified partners. With a track record of involvement in hundreds of LEED projects since 2011, we have a deep understanding of the environmental considerations in such projects. Our specialized support for waste diversion efforts and sustainable waste disposal practices is what sets us apart from other waste management providers.

Our company owns and operates two Material Recovery Facilities (MRFs) across the Atlanta metro area. These facilities use state-of-the-art technologies to sort and prepare recyclable materials for resale and reuse, directly reducing environmental impact by diverting waste from landfills.
