Adirondack Portable has recently been demolishing houses. Using their portable crushers and grinder they are able to recycle 90% of the material. The brick and concrete goes through the portable crusher and is recycled as road base or clean fill material. All metals are seperated out and recycled, and the wood is ground up into material to be used for fuel or caping material with our grinder. In turn being able to grind and crush these materials it saves money for the customer on those costly dump fees.About Us
