Managing Demolition Waste at Scale

Demolishing a standard Australian home generates an enormous volume of material. From concrete foundations and brickwork to timber framing and roofing tiles, understanding this volume is critical for site logistics and recycling targets.

Different construction types yield drastically different waste profiles. A double-brick home will produce significantly more tonnage than a timber-framed, weatherboard home, requiring more heavy transport and processing.

We prioritize resource recovery, aiming to recycle concrete, brick, steel, and timber. This not only minimizes landfill impact but creates an efficient clearance methodology for your site.

Frequently Asked Questions

We aim for maximum resource recovery. Concrete, brick, and metals are almost entirely recycled. Timber and certain plastics are also separated. Typically, over 80% (by weight) of a standard house can be diverted from landfill.
