Recycling And Reusing Construction Materials
Submitted as: Jason Delmar
Recycling is not a new concept, but it is something fairly new in the construction industry. In years past, it was just more economical (and widely accepted) to tear down and start with fresh materials- not bothering to recycle the trash or even re-use the salvageable items.
