Meet our July 2000 Corporate Earth Hero!

Turner Construction Company
Turner Construction Company took on the task of demolishing the Kingdome. Over 100,000 tons of concrete was generated from the demolition. Nearly 90 percent of it has been recycled and diverted from landfills. Turner, along with its subcontractors, has worked to recycle the concrete, asphalt, wood, and metal from the demolition.

Turner Construction Company is also a member of Construction Works, a program of King County Solid Waste Division. It recognizes innovative construction companies for their jobsite recycling programs. Turner staff have also collaborated with King County on jobsite recycling education and outreach efforts to their industry peers.
