Sunshine Recycling provides construction recycling for Florida hospital expansion

Sunshine Recycling Inc., an Orlando-based dumpster rental and construction recycling company, has been contracted to provide waste management and recycling services for the expansion of the South Lake Hospital in Clermont, Florida.

The expansion began in fall, and will include construction of additional examination, operating and observation rooms in the hospital’s emergency department, which will nearly double the facility’s treatment capacity. The project will be LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design)-certified, meaning the additions have been designed to save water, energy and resources.

During the expansion project, Sunshine Recycling will be supplying 30-yard and 20-yard roll-off dumpsters for the construction debris, 8-yard waste containers for office trash, and portable toilets, holding tanks and wash stations for the construction crew to use on site.
“It’s an exciting project to be a part of,” says Chuck Herb, owner of Sunshine Recycling. “The expansion of this hospital will help meet the needs of Lake County’s ever-growing population. Nearly 12,000 more patients have been treated in the hospital’s emergency department this past year compared to the number of people treated annually just five years ago. That says a lot about why these additions are necessary.”
