Working with CWS Colorado will give you peace of mind when it comes to the proper management, and treatment of your concrete washout water, and solid waste.
Water Pollution
Untreated concrete washout contains harmful chemicals with high pH and heavy metals. When this waste enters water bodies through improper disposal, it contaminates the aquatic ecosystem, affecting marine life and potentially entering the food chain.
Soil Contamination
Land disposal of untreated concrete washout can lead to soil contamination, making it less fertile for plant growth and posing health risks to humans and animals.
Resource Depletion
Disposing of concrete washout irresponsibly means losing a valuable resource. Proper recycling can recover reusable materials, reducing the need for virgin aggregates and ultimately conserving natural resources.
Legal and Regulatory Compliance
Improper disposal of concrete washout can lead to legal issues and non-compliance penalties, causing financial burdens for construction companies.
