Redstone Homes - leading the way in "Green" building!
One of our initiatives is to become more environmentally responsible during the new home construction process. We met with Waste Management in the spring of 2011 and came up with a "beginners program" of recycling at our job sites. Basically, we now sort our waste into three dumpsters. Wood and cardboard are recycled, with the cooperation of our trade partners on site to make this successful. We began the 3 dumpster program in July 2011. After a little bit of a slow start we really got rolling! For the six months between July and December, Redstone Homes and our trade partners worked together to recycle 34.14 tons of wood, and 14.8 tons of cardboard, in total nearly 50 tons of "stuff" that can now be used again, rather than sitting in a landfill for 150 years.
