INFO:

The total construction and demolition waste sent to disposal was nearly 400,000 tonnes in 2021, with wood products making up about 180,000 of that total. Reclaiming and moving homes is 30% to 70% less expensive than constructing them new. Appliances, cabinets, doors, hardwood flooring, and plumbing fixtures can be salvaged to save money, prevent waste, and reduce a project’s impact on the climate.
