I'm sure if you've glanced at a newspaper or network news in the last couple of days, you've heard housing starts are at the lowest level since 1960 and 75% lower than just 5 years ago! Concurrently we are seeing federal, state and local governments trim budgets which is further tightening the construction market.
So what does a recycler of construction debris do?
Since we can't very well go out and generate waste ourselves, we've instead focused on tightening our operations and running extremely efficiently. We believe in the short term this will enable us to offer tremendous value to our customers (single stream construction debris recycling at competitive costs) and in the long term, will make us competitive for when the market revives.
One of the bottom lines of this extended downturn is its a buyers market. If you have a project planned but are not quite sure if now is a good time to start, keep in mind that it is unlikely that it will be quite this affordable for years to come! Ironic.
