Manassas, United States – March 13, 2015 /PressCable/ —

Since 1994, the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design program (LEED) has grown to become the standard for modern environmentally-friendly construction. LEED certification is a comprehensive set of codes and ratings for all building types, including residential and commercial. These codes encompass the overall impact new and existing construction projects have on the environment. Rating systems reach across the board, awarding credits for water and energy efficiency, indoor air quality, innovation, sustainability, and materials. Buildings can be certified or surpass certification standards to achieve recognition as silver, gold, or platinum status. Buildings with LEED recognition adhere to the highest of environmentally-friendly standards.

A strong component of LEED certification is a proper waste management plan. An effort to reduce waste destined for landfills, otherwise known as landfill diversion, is required. These guidelines ask that residences and commercial businesses reuse, recycle, or compost at least 50% of ongoing consumables. Construction debris must be examined for recyclable material and recovery, and any unqualified material must be properly disposed of using appropriate methods.

Galaxy Transfer Dumpsters is a LEED compliant waste disposal option, offering services in both residential and commercial applications. Residentially, services are offered to handle materials generated from clean-outs, renovations, and landscaping service. Materials are diverted from landfills to be recycled if possible. Galaxy offers large-scale dumpster services that sort and recycle commercial waste products. Additionally, construction businesses can use Galaxy Dumpsters to follow LEED guidelines for green building practices. All recyclable building materials and debris will be extracted, and unfit materials will be properly disposed of in designated facilities.
