Back in 2003, Tarlton made a corporate commitment to sustainable construction. We moved into our new LEED Silver headquarters in 2004, creating a healthy environment for employees, clients, and visitors. Our building showcases our construction expertise, and is operated to continuing sustainability standards. And more than 20 Tarlton employees are LEED-Accredited Professionals.

We have introduced sustainable construction practices not only on LEED-registered projects, but on all our jobs. We recycle construction waste and worker trash, and fulfill other LEED requirements such as reducing dust and dirt by removing mud from trucks before they leave the site.

Tarlton and Recycling
Tarlton began recycling old equipment oil to heat our Tarlton Equipment And Maintenance (TEAM) facility back before “green” and “sustainable” became household words. We also recycle construction waste, glass, aluminum, cardboard and paper in the TEAM facility as well as in our headquarters office building, and at our jobsites. Three full-time TEAM-based Teamsters take care of our hauling, utilizing two trucks and roll-off containers. We separate construction waste and document quantities and destination, as required for LEED projects.
