Fly Ash Solutions


WM facilitates recycling and re-utilization of fly ash and other CCPs for a variety of building products and construction materials.
Fly ash is typically used in ready-mix concrete, structural concrete, pavements and highways, high-performance concrete, and flowable fill.
WM has developed Carbon Blocker®, a patented chemical treatment process that makes most fly ash suitable for concrete product applications.
Fly ash and other CCPs can act as an agricultural supplement to create artificial soil where native soils are not available.
WM can design a secure, cost-effective disposal program in full compliance with state and federal regulations.
