Deconstruct Before Demolition
Have you considered deconstruction prior to your demolition? Deconstruction of a building before you demo can save you money!

Reuse or Donate Materials in Good Condition
Not all materials from a demolition project are waste. Some materials and fixtures are able to be reused or donated. There are pieces and materials that are eligible to be reused, it is wise to remove them from the construction site for other purposes and are kept in good condition. Doors, hardware, and appliances, and specific materials are able to be reused or donated to organizations.
Recycle
