Welcome
WasteCapTRACE is online
WasteCap Resource Solutions is rolling out its new system, WasteCapTRACE. TRACE is a simple, powerful and effective online documentation program that tracks ongoing construction and demolition debris recycling and documents the results.
WasteCapTRACE streamlines the entire recycling tracking and documentation process. It saves valuable time and resources on every project by reducing time spent calling haulers, tracking numbers and calculating results. With WasteCapTRACE, project numbers are easy to find, track or change. It also gathers information required by governmental entities and certification programs (including LEED and Green Guidelines for Healthcare) and provides an easy way for contractors to comply with documentation requirements and larger entities to aggregate results.
For more information about getting WasteCapTRACE for your next project, call WasteCap at (414) 961-1100 or email wastecap@wastecap.org

“Green” Extreme Makeover: Home Edition Episode a Success
On Sunday, January 24, ABC aired its first-ever "green" episode of 'Extreme Makeover: Home Edition', a project on which WasteCap documented the debris reuse and recycling for both the deconstruction of the old house and the construction of the new house. WasteCap spent a week in Buffalo, NY with ABC’s ‘Extreme Makeover: Home Edition’ last month to manage waste for the special project. The project diverted 870 tons of waste from landfills by reusing and recycling, achieving a 93.3% diversion rate; easily surpassing the project goal of 75%!
