Because demo has to be sorted before it can be dumped. A painful lesson most people learn while remodeling after they filled the bed of a pick-up and took off for the dump.

Every little boys dream would be to run a big piece of heavy equipment and get to tear down a big building. I know mine was. That's why I just had to operate mobile cranes for the past twenty six years and loving every single minute of doing so. And even to today I still have a wish to do what this guys doing. To all the future equipment operators, stay in school, learn every little bit of everything you can and one day you'll be able to not only sit in the seat, but you'll get your wish to too and run big machinery just like this guy....😊

What I'll never understand with these demolitions is, why don't they remove all the glass before letting loose with the excavators, so much glass that could have so easily been repurposed, or recycled, I know they'll go through and recycle all the metal, but just watching all that glass go to waste, never to be used again is just disgusting.

[@SJR_Media_Group]

*_Gotta love a good building demo. Brings back fond memories of trackhoe vs building._* Hint... trackhoe always wins and after a couple of hours and many truckloads of debris later, a 'clean' building site is ready to be re-purposed. Sometimes it's far more cost effective to demo and start new than remodel old. New codes can make re-purposing an old structure more expensive than a blank sheet of paper and new design. *_Only thing better than trackhoe vs building is high explosives vs building..._*

Most people just want shiny new crap to prove they make a bunch of money and to keep up with the Joneses. I saw a 8x12 greenhouse on Amazon for 8k dollars, mine is 16x40 and cost maybe 2k, it's paid for itself 20x over with the produce I've sold. Cheers!

I'm a contractor, i dont take big jobs like this, mostly little ones with small excavators. But our local disposal site charges 120/ton for mixed construction debris, but they charge only 70/ton for clean wood, and 20/ton for bricks, tile, or masonry. Consiring the big price difference, and how many tons of materials there is to dump on this job, separating materials for recycling makes a lot of sense economically.
