Just completed a renovation of an older Armory structure that resulted in demolished site paving along with a mix of demo'd interior materials along with the more typical construction debris. Fortunately both the demo contractor and the primary recycling provider supporting them (a local MRF) really leveraged their resources. As a result, the project was able to even recycle some demo'd ACT ceiling tile, carpet and old light fixture ballasts/lamps. In a couple cases it required a special trip to special receiving facilities, such as the mercury containing light fixtures. Likewise, the site contractor was also able to readily grind demo'd asphalt parking for regional reuse as RAP. It helps that the project is located on the outskirts of a metro area that has access to both ship and rail ports along with regional construction and manufacturing back on the rise again following the recession. Without that, there wouldn't be as much of a secondary market generating demand for these recycled materials in the surrounding locale. In all, the project was able to reach 95% diversion!
