Recycling / Salvage Services

We prioritize careful dismantling rather than demolition, emphasizing environmental responsibility and maximizing landfill diversion. Demolition activities in the United States are responsible for over 90% of construction and demolition (C&D) debris generation, producing more than 600 million tons annually as reported by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. This C&D debris includes concrete, wood, asphalt, masonry, and metals resulting from the removal of building materials.

Costello Dismantling are experts at utilizing both manual and mechanical techniques to maximize material diversion from the dismantling process. Comprehensive abatement procedures are implemented prior to every dismantling project.

Responsible Material Management

Every dismantling and demolition project generates materials that must be handled with care, precision, and environmental responsibility. Our team follows a comprehensive approach focused on material recovery, controlled handling, and proper waste management to reduce landfill use and minimize environmental impact. Through strategic planning and proven processes, we prioritize opportunities for recycling and reuse while ensuring all remaining materials are transported and disposed of in accordance with environmental regulations and project requirements.
