Sacramento Aggregate Material and Transport GR Trucking
Recycling is Second Nature!
GR Trucking is so much more than just a provider of sand, rock, and even boulders; they are serious about their environment as well. They offer a program called concrete recycling which they partnered with Crete Crush in order to make it happen.
Many people here the word ‘recycle’ and they think of the labor involved or they think it will never benefit them in the long run. That is just simply not true. What many people do not realize is that if we did not ship all these materials to landfills the country could use these areas for something else. Maybe the space could be used for playgrounds or sites for housing. Landfills take up space, bottom line. Much needed space.
A landfill is a cesspool of danger, poisons, materials that will inevitably never break down. It is often times referred to a graveyard without the decomposition. People may think items decompose there, not nearly as quickly as you may think!
GR Trucking and Crete Crush saw a need and they wanted, no; they needed, to be a part of the solution. They began offering concrete recycling. When buildings are demolished they will come to the site and pick up any unwanted concrete. They will in turn crush it to oblivion. The reason they crush it, to recycle it.
GR Trucking has found that recycled concrete can actually be used in the building of new highways as the sub-base gravel. As well as including it as the dry aggregate in new concrete since it is not poisoned with all of the contaminates normally found in aggravate. Another great solution for the larger pieces is to use them in controlling stream bank erosions.
The best recycling idea I have heard so far whilst using the crushed concrete. It can be used in gardens as mulch or in home owner landscaping projects as the landscaping stone. Now that is a great way to recycle to its fullest!
