WasteCap's 2021 Annual Impact Report Released!

7/29/2022

0 Comments

 
WasteCap has been busy since 1996, helping businesses find ways to transform waste into resources through reduction, reuse, recycling and composting.  In 2005 we started recording that impact, which passed some major new milestones last year!

Waste is more than trash in a landfill, or litter in our parks and waters.  Waste is the acres of habitat leveled to obtain material, the energy and water consumed to make and move products, the jobs created in recycling and remanufacture, and the cost savings of reuse and recycling.

Not Measuring C&D Waste? You Might Be Losing Money.

2/19/2019

70 Comments

 
When contractors need to move mounds of waste during a demolition project, it is easy to say waste management is top of mind. But a significant amount of waste — about 54 million tons according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency — is generated in new construction and renovations. When waste management isn’t a priority, these materials are often sent to the landfill. Some might consider this the easiest route, but it’s also the most expensive and environmentally detrimental.

Deconstruction to Assist with Chronic Flooding at KK River

9/1/2015

5 Comments

 
Five years ago, massive flooding caused more than $30 million of damage in Milwaukee’s 30th street corridor through water damage of 3,000 homes. The 2010 storm inspired a project by the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District (MMSD) to reduce the risk of flooding. Work is underway to create three storm water basins to relieve the problem. To make room for the basins, MMSD collaborated to relocate seven homeowners and tenants that had all seen chronic flood problems over the years in preparation for removing houses.
