Our Recycling efforts...
Anaheim Door continues to be environmentally friendly through our recycling efforts.
We consistently look for areas to help the environment dramatically reducing the
waste going to the landfills by recycling old garage doors, cardboard, steel and
aluminum.

Old one-piece garage doors
Anaheim Door generates a lot of old wooden one-piece garage doors upon installing
your new sectional garage door. Rather than filling up our local landfills
by hauling the old one-piece doors to the dump, we have arranged to have the doors
hauled away where they can be reused in construction. A semi-trailer comes
to Anaheim Door on a regular basis and the wooden one-piece doors are loaded onto
the trailer for recycling. Old metal doors are recycled with our steel and
aluminum containers as appropriate.

Cardboard
21 million tons of paper are thrown away every year by US business which is the
equivalent to 175 pounds per office worker.
At Anaheim Door, we understand how these cardboard materials generate very rapidly.
Many sections and other materials are wrapped in protective cardboard boxes.
This cardboard is gathered and periodically taken to the recycling center.

Steel Hardware and Materials
In addition to the one-piece doors, a lot of hardware and other materials made of
steel are generated in the replacement of your garage door. These steel materials
are consolidated in a container. Once full, the container is picked up and
taken to the local recycling center. Simply recycling these steel materials
keeps an average of over 50 tons of steel from entering our landfills every year.
