Benchmark Recycling is committed to taking care of our planet, especially the local environment in which we all live. As such, we haul the debris from your job sites to local recycling facilities. Unfortunately, not all debris can be accepted at this time, since some of it cannot be recycled by the facilities we use.
Below is a list of items we currently DO NOT accept, or accept only in small quantities. Please note that many of these items can be disposed of by other local companies that we can direct you to, specialty companies that dispose of the debris in the most environmentally friendly way possible. Please don't hesitate to give us a call should you come across any of these materials during your job. We will gladly help you out in any way that we can!
