General RAS
The founders of General RAS founded ECCOpave in Calgary in 2008. That firm is now the most significant recycler of asphalt shingle in Western Canada. In 2010 ECCOpave is expected to recycle approximately 50% of the total tear-off shingle in Calgary.
ECCOwaste Systems
ECCO was founded in 1993 by five environmental engineers. The Company built the 24th Street SE Calgary Landfill in 1994, and has operated it ever since. The site design includes a line to protect groundwater, and wastes are covered frequently to avoid nuisances. Alberta Environment approved the site, and overviews operations and annual monitoring of the facility.
