Melton’s Recycle Rewind 2024

A Year in Sustainability

As a proud B Corp, we’re committed to using business as a force for good—and that includes taking environmental stewardship seriously. Each year, Melton’s Recycle Rewind gives us a chance to acknowledge this effort and the impact we’ve made in our community. Think of it as Spotify Wrapped, but for recycling—because who doesn’t love a year-end highlight reel?

In 2024, we went all in on creative, thoughtful resource management by recycling, donating, and reusing construction materials wherever possible. The results? A collection of stats proving that style and sustainability can go hand in hand.

Heavy Hitters

  • 11,700 pounds of cardboard: That’s the equivalent of saving over 99 trees!
  • 10,300 pounds of scrap metal: Recycled to recover precious metals and reduce mining impacts.
  • 8,575 pounds of scrap wood diversion: Giving old wood new life, whether as mulch or creative building projects.
  • 300 pounds of porcelain & 525 pounds of cable/wire: Responsibly recycled to ensure even the small stuff doesn’t go to waste.

Unique Finds

In addition to the “heavy hitters”, some items stand out for their uniqueness:

  • Six refrigerators & one mini split A/C unit: Recycled with care for responsible Freon disposal.
  • Five auto tires & six fire extinguishers: Important items that shouldn’t end up in the landfill.
  • 25 pounds of batteries & 10 office chairs: Preventing plastics and chemical waste from entering our watersheds.

Why It Matters

Being a B Corp is more than just checking boxes; it’s about leading by example and setting best practices for our industry. By diverting materials from landfills, we’re not only reducing our carbon footprint and conserving resources, but also fostering a culture of accountability and innovation.

We believe every project is an opportunity to build something extraordinary—for our clients, our community, and our planet. As we look back on 2024, we’re grateful for the chance to make a difference and excited to keep the momentum going in the year ahead.
