Construction activities produce a high volume of waste every year—filling up landfills around the country and the world. Much of that waste can be recycled. Last year, Santa Barbara – based MarBorg Industries, Inc. recycled some 200,000 tons of construction waste. Read more in APCD's Winter 2006 On the Air Newsletter (go to page 5).
