Green Demolition: The New Way of Deconstruction
East Coast Demolition is proud to be a part of the growing trend toward “going green” in our community. With landfills filling up fast, East Coast has taken great strides toward being more responsible for our environment. The salvaging and recycling practices we use at our facilities and on our jobsites for many years now have demonstrated that “green demolition” is not only possible, but also cost-effective and beneficial to both our community and our customers. Along with saving East Coast in unnecessary tipping fees.
One method of green demolition East Coast uses is to salvage all materials from our jobsites. Although this process can be somewhat time-consuming and incurs additional up-front costs, the results make it worthwhile. Scrap metals such as copper, steel, aluminum and brass are extracted, sorted and sold to recycling facilities. Recovered appliances--from light fixtures to HVAC units--are removed to be used in-house or offered for sale to the public to avoid becoming scrap materials. This also includes interior/exterior store fronts, doors, electrical equipment, tires, lighting for parking lots and more. If you can name it, it can be removed, re-used or re-sold based on the condition and value of the salvaged item.
Our largest contribution to the green movement is our crushed aggregate products. East Coast owns the latest state-of-the-art crushing equipment, we now salvage all brick, concrete and asphalt, which are crushed, meticulously screened and sold in several different grades of materials. Our screening process offers a clean, high-quality product. We have the cleanest material of all the suppliers in the area. East Coast offers all of our products to the public, creating a truly positive recycling program benefiting both our customers, our company, the community and greatly reduces the impact on our environment avoiding land-filling of these products.
East Coast extracts all reusable I beams, H beams, steel plating, large valves, man hole covers, telephone poles, generators, timbers wood, virgin timber and wood, overhead cranes, electrical breakers, etc. for resale to the public. Our inventory is constantly changing. AC and HVAC units move in and out weekly, so if you have any need, please contact us. Chances are we either have it or will have it soon.
We are always seeking new ways to promote the “green demolition movement.” The latest addition to our environmentally-friendly policy is the acceptance of clean aggregate material from both the public and other businesses at no charge – our only requirements are that the concrete and asphalt be free of rebar, AB, mastics, paint, dirt, wood and debris. East Coast hopes that this promotion will help encourage others to avoid using landfills to dispose of materials that can be recycled, diminishing our carbon footprint in Virginia and North Carolina for many years to come.
