Recycling
Two Rivers Demolition is committed to achieving the highest possible recycle rate with every project by carefully deconstructing buildings and repurposing
materials. This effort not only cuts down on costs to our customers, but significantly increases the lifespan of our diminishing landfills.
Following are examples of ways we can recycle materials:
- Concrete can be crushed and processed to make necessary aggregates to serve as the foundations for new community roads and buildings.
- Wood can be mulched and turned into compost or shredded to create fuel for co-generation plants which supply clean electricity to the region.
- Metals can be melted down and become feed stock for manufacturing new products.
- Nylon carpet can be reprocessed into a raw material for the manufacturing of new plastic and polymer products.
- Gypsum board can be used in the agricultural industry or reprocessed into new gypsum products.
Always innovating, we are actively working toward our goal to achieve 100% recycling with all projects. Our company President, Rodd Palon, serves on the
Board of Directors for the Construction Materials Recycling Association (CMRA) and is personally committed to finding new and innovative ways to improve
recycling practices.
Second Cycle
Our sister company, Second Cycle in Lincoln, California, is a 10-acre stationary, permanent, aggregate production facility. Specializing in recycling
naturally occurring and demolished materials, Second Cycle produces over 250,000 tons of construction aggregate per year from cobble, rock, concrete and
asphalt. The company also processes amended soils and mix mulch.
Second Cycle provides building materials for nearby Placer County communities including Roseville, Lincoln, and Rocklin and all of these cities have approved
aggregates from Second Cycle for use in road construction.
LEED Projects
The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System� is a national benchmark for the design, construction, and operation
of high performance green buildings. Points are awarded toward LEED certification based on meeting sustainability goals. Certified projects can qualify for
special tax incentives and zoning allowances. Two Rivers Demolition supports LEED projects and can assist in earning points toward LEED certification.
Onsite Recycling Services
Two Rivers Demolition conducts mobile concrete and asphalt recycling. We have also developed our own recycling solutions, including 250 custom-designed
debris bins used to gather construction waste.
We also purchased the sorting system used to process and recover forensic evidentiary materials, personal items of victims, and other valuable assets from
the 911 World Trade Center disaster.
