SANCO Resource Recovery—Lemon Grove
Construction, Demolition and Inert (CDI) Recycling Facility

SANCO Resource RecoveryServices

Sanco processes mixed construction loads of wood, dirt, concrete, asphalt, gypsum board & carpet.  Solid, Special, Hazardous and Green Wastes are not accepted at the facility.

When you recycle, you're ensuring conservation of precious natural resources. Equally important, the quantities of wastes that can flow through a facility like Sanco Resource Recovery are very large, with equally large impacts on the consumption of regional landfill capacity.

How to Dispose of CDI

  • Wood        
  • Dirt
