The biggest myth about bringing down a building. Most people think demolition is all about spectacular explosions and wrecking balls. In reality, implosions account for less than 1% of all demolition projects.

True or False: Old asphalt and concrete torn up from construction sites can be completely recycled into new infrastructure?
Answer: TRUE.
Road networks and parking lots do not last forever, but the materials used to build them can live on almost indefinitely.

True or False: When a construction bin is full of mixed debris, the whole thing goes straight to the landfill?
Answer: FALSE.
When you see a massive roll-off bin filled with a messy mix of metal, plastic, and concrete, it is to assume it is destined for a hole in the ground.

Recycling isn’t just about reducing landfill waste. It’s also one of the most energy-efficient ways to produce materials. Metals like steel and aluminum can be melted down and reused instead of being mined and refined from raw ore, saving tremendous amounts of energy.

Recycling does not stop at sorting materials. For many innovators, it is the starting point. Companies are taking discarded materials and turning them into sneakers, furniture, and everyday items that would otherwise end up in landfills.

Glass isn’t just reusable, it’s endlessly recyclable. Unlike many other materials, glass can be melted down and reformed into new containers or products over and over without losing quality.

Concrete may seem like a waste product once a building or structure is demolished. Old concrete can be crushed and repurposed as high-quality aggregate, giving it a second life in new construction projects.

Tires don’t have to end up in landfills. In Canada, well over 80 percent of scrap tires are collected and recycled each year, and recycling programs make it easy for consumers and contractors to return old tires to designated depots.
