Synergis recycled 66 tons of construction debris this month for our clients, saving them thousands of dollars.  

Projects included tenant space cleanout, remodeling and construction.  All of our clients saved money compared to discarding these materials as garbage.  We also prevented 66 tons of resources from being wasted, and instead, these materials will be turned into new products.
