Greenpoint

Bahm Demolition, Inc. opened GreenPoint Construction and Demolition Processing Facility in Topeka, Kansas in 2007. Nationwide, landfills are being exhausted of their remaining capacity, and few new landfills are opening to offset the looming space crisis. Meanwhile municipal, construction and demolition and special wastes continue to flow in greater volumes than ever before. Handling the country’s waste stream has become a major problem for our local municipalities. With more waste created daily, our landfills are facing a capacity crisis.

One way to minimize the capacity issue is to reduce the amount of construction and demolition landfill waste entering our landfills. Bahm Demolition, Inc. has developed a solution for reducing the capacity at our landfills in Topeka and Shawnee County, Kansas and the surrounding area by capitalizing on the benefits of processing the construction and demolition waste. The material brought to GreenPoint is processed into reusable products that are then resold to the general public. Examples of the processes used to transform the waste materials into reusable products includes the crushing of concrete, asphalt, and brick products into reusable gravel or base material; the grinding of asphalt shingles to be used in the preparation of road asphalt; and the chipping of wood products to be used for mulch or to be reused in the production of consumer energy. Steps are taken to process every bit of material that enters the facility into a product that can be used by either an end consumer or in the production of a consumable product. |

The facility serves residential, commercial, and industrial entities in Topeka, Shawnee County, and surrounding areas. The waste stream is new construction, demolition renovation for construction, commercial and industrial waste (pallet and cabinetry construction), roofing, residential renovation, and demolition waste. Hours of operation are Monday – Friday 7am to 5:30 pm and Saturday from 8 am to 3 pm. Contact us at 785-234-6000 for more details or to set up an account today. |

The ProcessQuick...Simple...Convenient |
 |
1. Upon entering the facility, GreenPoint employees weigh the vehicle and inspect its load to ensure it does not contain any non-acceptable materials. |
 |
2. Customers are directed to the proper holding bin by GreenPoint employees. |
 |
3. With the assistance of GreenPoint employees, customers unload their materials. |
 |
4. Once their load is empty, customers are weighed again to determine the exact weight of the load. Customers are issued an invoice which can be paid directly by check or credit card or customers can charge to their account once it has been properly established. |
 |
5. After the customer leaves, GreenPoint employees begin the process of sorting the waste. Recyclable and/or reusable material is sorted into bins. Then the materials are processed into a wide variety of products to be used by end consumers or to be sold to other processing plants to use in their products. |
