Happy Earth Day 2023! This day serves as a reminder to take care of our planet and its resources. With the current state of our environment, it is more important than ever to take action to make our planet better.
As a leader in innovative waste-to-resource and beneficial reuse business practices, Kurtz Bros., Inc. can help you reduce your environmental impact in both minor and major ways. Here are some effective ways you can help contribute to the cause.
Reduce Consumption
Water is a precious resource, and it’s important to use it wisely. Simple measures like fixing leaky taps, taking shorter showers, and using water-efficient appliances can make a big difference.
Plus, we rely on energy for everything, so it’s important to use it wisely as well. Switching to energy-efficient appliances, turning off lights and electronics when not in use, and using renewable energy sources like solar power can help reduce our carbon footprint.
Also, remember that cars are one of the biggest sources of pollution. So, reducing car usage can make a significant impact. Consider using public transportation, biking, or carpooling to reduce your carbon footprint.
Choose Organic Fertilizers
Compost is made up of decomposed organic matter that promotes better soil health with the replenishment of texture and microbes. Unlike most chemical fertilizers, compost works to modify or improve the condition of the soil, creating an overall healthier growing medium.
Compost, when topically applied as a lawn fertilizer or as a soil amendment, helps improve both soil moisture retention and aeration, which are critical for plant health and longevity. Compost also helps to prevent plant disease, erosion, and compaction of the soil.
Reuse and Recycle Whenever Possible
Reusing and recycling is a critical aspect of sustainable living. By reusing items as much as possible and recycling what we can, we can significantly reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills.
We provide premium waste management and auditing solutions that prioritize environmentally sustainable waste disposal and recycling for your business. We don't view waste management as a hassle, but rather as a chance to aid our clients and promote the well-being and sustainability of our planet.

Responsibly Manage Sediment and Drainage
Numerous cities, watersheds, ports, and communities are tasked with managing sediment-related problems on a large scale. However, at Kurtz Bros, Inc., we see these issues as an opening for improvement, rather than a hindrance. With our extensive background in soil and waste-to-resource industries, we understand that there are more effective and cost-efficient means to handle sediment than the outdated practice of dredging and disposing of it.
We provide innovative sediment solutions, ranging from alternative methods of collecting sediment to converting it into a valuable resource, to alleviate the burden of sediment management while simultaneously enhancing the environment. Kurtz Bros, Inc. offers a better way of managing sediment, and we strive to make a positive impact by transforming these challenges into opportunities.

Green infrastructure is utilized by a broad range of individuals, including homeowners, landscapers, municipalities, contractors, engineers, and more. By incorporating green infrastructure components in your residence, workplace, or upcoming project, you can play a role in preserving the cleanliness of our waterways, which is crucial for supporting wildlife habitats, recreational activities, navigation, and drinking water consumption.
