A typical 18,000 square foot, slab on grade building has 775 tons of concrete that will always be taken to a crushing facility where it is crushed and sold as a commodity.

The same 18,000 square foot single story building could have as much as 387 tons (21 semi truck loads) of material that could be taken to the landfill and still meet city requirements.

This means that any demolition contractor can meet city requirements without changing any of their current practices.

Minimum Impact Demolition is proud to provide demolition services that divert materials from landfills, through the recycling and the salvaging of demolition debris.

Building materials such as old wood, bricks, metals and electical salvage that are re-used or recycled save energy and environmental impacts of producing new products from virgin materials.

Re-using/recycling construction and demolition waste can help builders and developers to meet certain goals associated with Green Building directives under the USGBC LEED program.
