Demolition Debris Management & Recycling 2025
Debris Profile
Concrete, brick, metal, wood, gypsum, asphalt, roofing, glass. Pre-demolition audits identify salvage and recycling opportunities.
Logistics & Containers
Use multiple roll-off sizes to segregate materials (concrete-only, metals, mixed C&D). Set weight allowances and plan hauls per phase.
Recycling & Markets
- Concrete/brick → aggregate base
- Metal → scrap mills (high recovery)
- Wood → mulch, biomass; limited for treated/painted wood
- Asphalt roofing → hot-mix asphalt (shingles) where processors exist
Costs & Documentation
Weight tickets, diversion reports, and landfill avoidance fees. Optimize hauls to avoid overage charges.
Safety & Compliance
Dust control, noise, traffic management, asbestos/lead surveys before work starts.
