Could you live in a house made of trash? No, we’re not talking about a house filled with trash but one that is made from completely recycled materials. One Chattanooga entrepreneur is doing just that by taking old roofing shingles and repurposing than as the building materials for affordable houses with an eco-friendly focus.
“Chattanooga is like every other city it has two building codes, green and the one everybody uses. What we’re trying to do is combine the two so that people can afford to build green,” says David White, CEO of RamRock Building Supplies.
According to White, millions of pounds of shingles end up in landfills every year. He would much rather have those shingles “donated” to his cause where he can give them a second lease on life with his state of the art machine that cranks out the out the shingle building blocks.
White says, “All we need to be is cost competitive with conventional, because we think we’re providing a vastly superior product. We have energy efficiency with strength and durability with this intense hydraulic compression. Chattanooga has the most to gain from this. We start here, we grow here. Get the word out, the political leaders, business community, environmental community, education community, get those leaders of those out there saying let’s do this,” says White.
Of course, there is some trash that will always be trash. If you’re getting ready to sell your home you might find that you’re surrounded by garbage as a result of all your packing and cleaning up. You certainly don’t want to take that trash with you to your new home. That’s why you should call Junk King Chattanooga. They’ll be able to haul away that trash in a snap and make sure you’re leaving your home as clean as when you first moved in.
On the other side, you might be going into a new location where the previous tenant wasn’t as courteous with their cleanup responsibilities. When that happens, Junk King can fly in and do the clean up. This is probably the easiest type of job for Junk King because you’re just telling them to take everything away!
Just like the shingle recycler, Junk King Chattanooga will make sure your trash gets a fair shake when it comes to recycling. They’ll sort out the stuff that could be donated to a charity and fixed up. Anything else that can be ground up like concrete, wood or metal will end up at the right recycling center. It’s all part of the complete Junk King service package. Are you ready to recycle all your trash? Let Junk King show you the way.
