At McLellan Contracting we look for new creative and innovative ways to reduce our environmental footprint since our future and our government clients demand it. Some of the ways we are going green in our day to day operations are:

1- Our Cubevans were purchased from local dealers and were switched over to a natural gas conversion as a fuel source. Typical cube vans get 7-9 miles per gallon, ( 31208 kg/ carbon dioxide/ annual) our modified natural gas cube vans have reduced our carbon foot print by about 23 tonnes/annually alone!

2- We recycle all of our scrap metal to avoid having it go to a transfer station, then eventually a landfill (~ 2000lbs/recycled annually)

3- We had skylights installed in our office to reduce our lighting demands and converted all our lights to CFL type bulbs.

4- Buy Materials locally to support local economy while reduce distribution transfer distances.

5- focus on Working Locally to cut down on time spent driving.

6- Employees all live within 20kms and car pool when available.

7- We help home-owners reduce their energy demands by blowing cellulose insulation that is an environmentally certified product. This product is also treated to not  promote pests or fire. When combined with proper attic ventilation (intake and exhaust) you:
a. Maximize the life expectancy of your roof and your shingles.
b. Reduce cooling and heating loads.
c. Help eliminate the possibility of mould infestation.
d. Maintain better Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)
