Interior demolition recycling involves salvaging reusable materials from the interior of a building before demolition. This process is beneficial for both environmental and economic reasons. By recycling materials such as metal, wood, and concrete, less waste is sent to landfills, which reduces the environmental impact of demolition projects. Additionally, recycling materials can lower the cost of a demolition project by reducing the need for new materials and disposal fees. Common materials salvaged during interior demolition include copper wiring, plumbing fixtures, appliances, flooring, and tiles. To maximize the amount of material salvaged, a demolition recycling plan should be developed prior to the start of the project.
