Cherry Wins World Demolition Award for Demolition, Environmental Recycling Program

Cherry, a Houston-based demolition and recycling company, was awarded top honors for its demolition and environmental recycling program held at the World Demolition Awards program in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

The Demolition and Recycling Environmental Award recognized Cherry’s safety record, reduced environmental impact, recycling strategies, “green” work practices and control of noise, pollution and disturbance. The award was presented by Demolition & Recycling International magazine.

“Having the international community recognize our accomplishments in demolition and environmental recycling is a terrific honor,” says Leonard Cherry, president and co-owner of Cherry.

“A key part of our overall environmental mission is to recycle our demolished concrete, asphalt and steel into re-usable material. Instead of adding bulk to landfills, we recycle as much construction debris as possible,” Cherry explains. “Doing so not only significantly reduces the amount of concrete, asphalt and steel waste that ends up in landfills, but it helps preserve our nation’s natural resources.”

Cherry serves the Gulf Coast with demolition and recycling services, which includes the recycling of more than one million tons of concrete and asphalt and approximately 40,000 tons of steel each year.
