At Fleetwood, our focus is on recycling and material recovery, not sending materials to landfills. We make every effort to operate in an environmentally friendly manner, including recycling each and every one of our disposal and recycling bins.
All the drywall, cardboard, clean wood and concrete we received from our customers is 100% recycled.
