Demolition hacks...saving money on trash and debris removal

[Account Closed]

So I've been doing this for a while and before I start a demo project I call the scrappers (if there isn't anything I want to scrap) for metal and the Purple Hearts etc to grab furniture. I separate the concrete if it's significant because it's much cheaper to dispose of... what am I missing? Any other ways to save on debris and trash removal??

You need a warehouse.

Cabinets, toilets, waterheaters, and functioning furnaces can be reconditioned. Same with excess construction supplies.

In Chicago, we have one that's 1500 sq feet, bare bones, at $500 a month in the Iron Street district.

Bins of smoke detectors, stoves, fridges, etc.

Makes a good summer job for a 18 year old, making a few bucks a day organizing and cleaning, and they become an intern to learn the life.
