Recycling and reusing building materials has cost-saving incentives, saves trees, conserves landfill space, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and supports affordable housing.
Metro Vancouver created the Construction and Demolition Waste Toolkit to help contractors, project managers, and home owners find:
- Alternatives to traditional demolition
- Ways to reuse and recycle building materials
- Construction and demolition facilities, recycling depots, and service providers
- Resources for the management of hazardous materials commonly found in construction sites
