Before you pay dearly to have every old brick and beam hauled away from your site, remember that up to 75 percent or more of the waste from a deconstructed building can be reused or recycled.
Create and implement a waste management plan that calls for reusing or recycling as many items as possible from a deconstruction site and you'll save money on waste disposal and materials and help reduce the strain on landfills.
And to ease the environmental impacts of a building project even further, make use of materials made with recycled content, limit the use of wood and wood products and request FSC-certified wood from a sustainable, well-managed forest.
