​Since its debut in 1994, HGTV has changed the way Americans think about home renovations. From elaborate remodels to do-it-yourself decorating, homeowners turn to the latest home shows for inspiration and education, and rehabbing older homes is a growing trend. Beneath the surface lurks a hidden danger that poses a serious health threat, and that is asbestos. 

​In 2018, WasteCap Resource Solutions consulted on the demolition of two masonry-and-steel light industrial buildings located at 2048 and 2100 Winnebago St., in Madison. The two buildings combined - one one story and the other two stories - totaled 35,000 square feet. ​WasteCap and other local nonprofits including Sector 67, which specializes in tech and engineering, worked to salvage reusable material and equipment from the buildings during the demolition. Much of the remaining material was recycled. In total, 1,600 tons, or 75.26% of demolition waste was diverted from the landfill, saving the owner, Accipiter Properties, $68,000.

WasteCap Resource Solutions is proud to highlight our member, Altius Building Company! Altius Building Company was born out of an extensive 60 year-old construction group, and much of that group still works for Altius carrying on their tradition of partnerships and community ties. Today, Altius offers a wide range of construction operations including municipal, commercial, senior living residences, apartment complexes, low-rise condominiums, mixed-use developments, and transitional student apartments.

Food Waste is something we're quite passionate about here at WasteCap and when we learned that Sendik's Food Market had installed Grind 2 Energy systems in everyone of their stores, we knew they were just as passionate. They are ahead of the game, they saw they had the potential to create energy instead of waste.
