Some sites even mulch with rubber! Since rubber doesn’t break down like wood, it has a longer lifespan and over time less material is needed.
Companies that are certified to practice "green building" divert 50% less waste. The key for this is planning all aspects of the build in advance and avoiding sending useful demolition material to the landfill.
Reducing waste can save you money, conserve energy and resources, and reduce air, soil, and water pollution. It is important to educate others of this matter, and to take initiative.
