We’ve shared with you in the past about how we reuse and recycle material from the Willamette River Bridge Project. Well now the numbers are in to illustrate just how much materials we’ve kept out of landfills.
Hamilton Construction and their subcontractors repeatedly reuse wood, metal and concrete before taking it off site. They meticulously track the quantities; here is a summary of the numbers that we just received for 2012.
A great example of reuse, crews reduce concrete to rubble so that it can be recycled and reused. They formed hard paths in Whilamut Natural Area with 58 cubic yards of recycled aggregate containing this rubble. The team also reprocessed an additional 154 tons back in to the Willamette River Bridge Project. On this project, we recycled over 32 tons at Eugene Sand and Gravel and Sanipac’s Eco-Sort, plus Staton Companies reused another 1,720 cubic yards.
Crews recycled over 280 tons of reinforcement steel and other metals this past year. That’s over 560,000 pounds in just one year. They took most of the material to Pacific Recycling and Schnitzer Steel.
From the falsework used to support the bridge work, over 8,000 pounds of untreated wood were recycled at Lane Forest Products and the Sanipac Wood Recycling facility.

Our contractors work hard to preserve construction materials, avoiding waste, increasing efficiency and lowering costs. My thanks to our team!
