Day-to-day Environmental Efforts

Capital is proud to demonstrate environmental awareness in many of our day-to-day operations.  We aim to contribute positively to both our local community and to the environment on a broader scale while remaining conscious of the impact our industry can have on society.

Capital has a state-of-the-art asphalt plant that is specifically designed with advanced combustion, noise attenuation and particulate control equipment to ensure that all emissions not only meet, but exceed the required standards.

By utilizing recycled materials in our asphalt mixes, we are reducing the need for using fresh aggregate.  Instead of depleting natural resources, Capital is able to re-use many materials like crushed concrete and broken asphalt.  These materials are broken down and combined with fresh aggregate to produce quality asphalt and granular products.

Our urban quarry is a recycling depot for a wide array of materials such as plastic piping and barrels, scrap metal, and broken concrete and asphalt.  Each of these materials can be broken down and re-used, ultimately reducing the amount of waste in landfills and allowing us to use our natural resource of gravel in a more responsible manner.

Capital employees recycle over 150 lbs of paper each month.  The recycled paper is donated to the Sunrise Therapeutic Riding and Learning Centre who then sell the paper to a recycling company.  All the proceeds from the recycled paper help to support programs for children and adults with disabilities.
