G.A. Rittenhouse
Gun-Range Environmental Cleanup

The lead is in the berm. We get it out.

Years of rounds build up in an impact berm — lead, jackets and fragments working down into the soil. Our HAZWOPER crew screens it out, backfills the cleaned soil, rebuilds the backstop, and hauls the metal to our own furnace. One company, start to finish.

We own the furnace — so the metal offsets the cost of the job.

Your lead and brass come straight to our smelter in Houston, not through a broker. Fewer hands in the middle means more of the metal's value comes back to you.

Outdoor ranges

Berms, backstops, and the soil behind them

Rifle, pistol and shotgun ranges — public or private, a few lanes or a few hundred. Earth berms, tire walls and engineered backstops.

Screen the berm

We dig and screen the impact berm, separating the lead, jackets and fragments from the soil so the metal comes out and the dirt stays.

Restore the backstop

Cleaned soil is backfilled and the backstop rebuilt and reshaped so it keeps stopping rounds the way it should.

Haul it out clean

Contained, manifested haul-out — no piles left behind. The recovered metal goes to our furnace, and the brass rides along on the same trip.

One company, whole job

What we self-perform — and what we manage

Our own crews do the physical recovery and recycling. The formal environmental work is done by licensed specialists we bring in and manage, so you still deal with one company.

How it works

From berm to furnace

1

Site visit

We look at your backstops, how long since the last cleanup, and access for equipment.

2

Recover & screen

The crew digs the berm and screens the lead and fragments out of the soil.

3

Restore

Cleaned soil backfilled, backstop rebuilt and reshaped.

4

Haul & recycle

Contained haul-out to our Houston furnace — value credited back to you.

Heavy equipment, careful handling

Berm work is earthmoving with a lead problem on top of it. The same crew that runs the dozer and the screen is HAZWOPER-certified to handle what comes out — so the recovery and the environmental care stay in one set of hands.

Outdoor or indoor, public or private

Let's get the lead out of your range.
