From the Dumpster to the Highway

For example, the compost we remove from consumers is recycled and reused as a loam amendment for the grassy areas of highways and rest stops on our Massachusetts highways. Blast furnace slag is used as an additive to cement concrete while reclaimed asphalt pavement is reused as aggregate for bituminous concrete and as mulch under guardrails! The heaps of plastic lumber products we remove are recycled as furnishings for the rest areas on our highways while the glass that gets recycled is used in a variety of ways. Recycled glass can be used as aggregate in bituminous concrete, borrow, sub base course, and even in those reflectorized pavement markings along the highway! Much of the plastic that ends up in your dumpster in Westford, MA may see itself used as spacer blocks in highway guardrail systems as well.
