What We Do

Most construction and demolition facilities consider demolition debris to be concrete, asphalt, wood, dirt, and steel. While these are components of many building teardowns, or "hard demolitions" projects, these projects only account for a small portion of the demolition going on in any urban area. Many demolition jobs in urban areas are what we call "soft demo" jobs - the building core and shell are unaffected, but the interior is stripped so the next tenant can design their own office space. These jobs produce little of the above-mentioned materials, with the exception of steel and wood, but generate much more debris consisting of drywall, used cabinetry, carpet, ceiling tile, and office furniture. We've gone the extra mile, and have found markets for these materials.

Our donation program is second-to-none; we can reintroduce over 1400 tons of salvaged materials into the community every year, with these items going to any non-profit in need.

The accepted form of computing a diversion rate is to use a facility average. The Facility Average is computed as:

diversion rate = (total tons inbound - tons sent to landfill)

The problem with this is the fact that it is impossible to track individual loads, and as such the average granted by the local enforcement agency or municipality is based solely on tonnage. Facilities do not track hard versus soft demolition loads, and often issue receipts that say "Mixed C&D Debris, recycled xx%" - without breaking down the percentage by materials. Without material breakdown, no real accounting can be achieved.

According to our records, gained by tracking over 90,000 tons of interior debris, the breakdown of materials averages something like this:

• 25.82% - Drywall
• 14.44% - Metals
• 12.69% - Wood (Only 2% of which is actually dimensional lumber - the remaining 95% is particle board and plastic laminate cabinetry, traditionally not captured by C&D facilities)
• 9.96% - Carpet
• 8.57% - Concrete
• 3.82% - Ceiling Tile
• 1.24% - Cardboard

  ---

• 76.54% - Total

The remaining 23.46% is largely made up of materials that are too contaminated to reclaim, have no markets at this time, or are the product of the processing that turns some of the materials into particles too small to recapture.

Looking at this breakdown, it becomes obvious that if the facility you are taking your debris to is not recovering the drywall, particle board, plastic laminate woods, carpet, and the ceiling tile, they are not recovering even 50% of the debris! This means that your project does not even qualify for the first LEED point for recycling. The question then becomes, "What is more important? The LEED points, or the purpose behind the LEED program in the first place?"

At Trinity Recycling, Inc., we like to think the points are not the point.
