Environmental Responsibility

Demolition doesn’t have to generate waste. In fact, it can produce valuable commodities. At Downright Demolition Ltd., we don’t just tear things down we do it responsibly. Every demolition project is approached with a focus on minimizing environmental impact, protecting public health, and following all local, provincial, and federal regulations. We’re committed to sustainable practices that go beyond compliance.

Minimizing Waste and Helping the Environment

As a Green Certified company, we recycle 90 percent of the construction waste that comes off our demolition sites. Hazardous and non-recyclable materials, such as asbestos or lead-based components, are carefully identified and handled in strict accordance with environmental regulations.

The most rewarding part of our process is the sheer volume of reusable commodities we recover, materials that would otherwise be discarded are instead repurposed, reused, or returned to the supply chain. 

Components that don’t have to end up in the landfill include:

 Metals : Brass, bronze, copper, iron, and steel, wiring and conduit (often stripped and recycled)

Building & Structural Materials: Concrete, brick, porcelain, ceiling tiles, roofing materials 

Natural & Organic Materials: Wood, Soil 

Insulation & Other Components: Insulating materials (depending on condition and type)

By carefully managing every stage of the deconstruction process, we ensure that materials are safely contained, sorted, and repurposed wherever possible. This approach not only reduces waste but also keeps harmful debris from affecting surrounding properties, air quality, and waterways. Through smart separation and salvage strategies, we transform demolition into an opportunity to recover valuable resources and reduce your project’s environmental footprint.

Choosing our Edmonton-based green demolition team means partnering with a company that prioritizes sustainability, safety, and long-term community benefit. Our environmentally responsible practices help support a cleaner city, reduce landfill pressure, and demonstrate leadership in eco-conscious construction. Trust Downright Demolition to deliver expert results—with integrity, care, and respect for the environment.
