Recycling

California virgin rock resources are becoming scarce, and rock products are becoming very expensive. Rock quarries and suppliers, as well as many of our competitors, have begun to seek other alternatives due to many environmental restrictions and regulations. Recycling of materials is not new by any means and has become the norm in the construction industry.

To maintain its competitive edge and help conserve for our environment, GBI has purchased its own Pegson 4242SR Crusher. GBI’s crusher is a valuable piece of equipment and gives GBI the ability to recycle broken concrete and asphalt and produce much-needed rock products. With the ability for GBI to recycle concrete and asphalt, we are able to cut costs on dump fees, trucking costs and outside purchase of rock material. Since GBI’s crusher is very mobile, we are able to set up at various locations and have the shortest possible truck hauls to and from the crushing operation.

Through the cooperation of its clients and partners in the crushing operations, GBI’s recycling cost savings are passed on to our clients on various projects. Therefore, it becomes a beneficial win-win situation to GBI, our clients and the environment.
