KBL holds industry safety certifications including COR (Certificate of Recognition), and our transport team has maintained an excellent record of zero Lost Time Incidents across multiple years.
Beneficial Reuse – Saving Costs
and Reducing Landfill
At KBL, we don’t believe in simply hauling waste to a landfill. Wherever possible, we identify opportunities for beneficial reuse—turning waste materials into valuable resources. This approach reduces disposal volumes, lowers project costs, and supports our clients’ sustainability goals.
Our team researches and tests waste streams to determine where they can be safely and effectively reused, whether as aggregate substitutes, construction fill, industrial feedstocks, or other applications. By diverting materials away from landfill and into productive use, we help clients:
- Save money through reduced tipping and hauling fees.
- Support circular economy goals by giving waste a second life.
- Improve sustainability performance with measurable landfill diversion metrics.
- Meet regulatory and ESG requirements for responsible waste management.
- Backhauls for Cost Savings & Efficiency – Whenever possible, we coordinate backhaul loads to reduce empty travel, optimize fuel use, and save our clients money. By matching outbound deliveries with return loads, we improve logistics efficiency, minimize carbon emissions, and keep overall transportation costs lower.
Every project is assessed for reuse potential, and we provide clients with the documentation and reporting needed to demonstrate the environmental and financial benefits of these solutions.
