CFLs last 10 times longer and use 66 percent less energy than incandescent bulbs while delivering the same light levels. The return on investment is 15 times highter than the average return on Dow-Jones stock investments or leaving your money in a bank account.

Urban: saviour of the world?

We have no doubt that protecting the environment is the single most important problem facing the world today. As Canada's largest construction waste recycler we are committed to doing what's best for the world's environment. Our success reflects our ability to protect the environment through the most eco-positive systems and technology.

Before the term eco-conscious existed we already were..

The fact is that long before we were recyclers, we were environmentally committed. We were true believers then and we're true believers now. We have no illusions. Urban's part in saving the world is small. But the truth is everyone's part is small. And that is exactly why everyone must do their part and be eco-conscious as a way of life.
