In 2010, our corporate office and tree service division (The Professional Tree Care Company) moved into our brand new office building- built mostly from wood milled by Green Waste Recycle Yard from locally salvaged logs! Species we recycled into the building include Douglas fir and Monterey pine for framing, Coastal redwood for exterior siding, Monterey cypress for our facade lathe screen and for cabinetry, Blue gum eucalyptus for flooring, and Claro walnut for countertops.

A recycling project is a project where post consumer or secondary materials are used to produce a value-added finished product or, intermediate processing of recovered material is provided. A value added recycled product is one in which the raw materials have increased their value through a change in their character or composition through a manufacturing process. Green Waste Recycle Yard diverts urban logs from landfills, mills them into dimensional lumber products, and creates mulches for landscape and construction projects.
