At Fresh Start Recycling, our demolition techniques are rooted in precision and safety. We never just bring in a bulldozer to haphazardly crush your shed; instead, we utilize highly strategic deconstruction methods. Our team carefully strips the structure from the top down, removing roofing materials, wall panels, and finally the flooring and foundation. This controlled dismantling prevents hazardous debris from scattering across your lawn.
Once the structure is safely dismantled, we meticulously sort the materials directly on-site. We separate reusable timber, recyclable metals, and disposable waste into our specialized hauling bins. This allows us to keep the actual garbage pile remarkably small.
With over 3,000 bins hauled since our founding, we have perfected this systematic sorting process to ensure maximum waste diversion. Expect our team to always smile, converse, and expertly manage challenging situations while keeping the environmental impact minimal.
Our reliable demolition services are trusted by premier organizations including Concord Pacific, Cadillac Fairview, and FirstService Residential. From major commercial partners to individual homeowners, we deliver the exact same meticulous precision and uncompromising quality every time.
