Lone Star – Recycling LEEDer
U.S. Green Building Council LEED Certified Projects
Lone Star specializes in hauling and processing waste for LEED certified projects. We offer recycling
solutions that virtually no other hauler in the Houston market can – either comingled or source
separated at the jobsite. This allows project managers the flexibility to choose whether to track
recycling compliance by volume or weight.
By Volume/Comingled
With comingled waste, the customer places all debris into one container, which we haul to our
licensed recycling facility for processing. Our highly trained staff sorts the waste, separating the
recyclables from the residual and documents the volume/yardage of each commodity on Load
Inspection Forms. These forms are then kept on file and forwarded to the customer upon request.
This method reduces the number of containers required at a customer’s location, thus preserving
valuable jobsite space. It also alleviates worker confusion and the need for additional man-hours to
constantly monitor what is being thrown into the various recycle containers required for the source
separated method.
By Weight/Source Separated
We also provide customers with the source separated option whereby compliance is tracked by
weight. Under this scenario we will place a separate container for each recyclable commodity as well
as a general waste container at the jobsite. The customer is responsible for separating the recyclables
and loading them into their respective containers. Lone Star will then haul the containers to the
appropriate recycling or disposal facilities and forward copies of all weight scale tickets to the
customer as needed for tracking.
While other companies may think green
or talk about recycling – WE DO IT!
