Striving to Protect Our Environment from Hazardous Concrete Waste
Maryland Portable Concrete does its part in helping to save the Chesapeake Bay. Both our Elkton and Riverside plant locations utilize a paved manufacturing zone that, by designed ground contour, traps, directs and contains all industrial water, truck washing run-off, and natural rainfall. This water is naturally clarified by gravity as it settles out through a series of containment pits and is then recycled for use in future concrete manufacturing. The settled solid materials are scooped out of the containment pits periodically and recycled with leftover hardened concrete for use as sub-base material preventing them from entering the Chesapeake and its tributaries.
