Luminare Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 1 hour ago, Timoric said: Does the steel get sold for a pretty penny? looks like a lot of good material, anything they salvage usually from these? Anything that is metal is typically recycled these days. The steel for the structure, the rebar that is embedded in the concrete, the wiring for electricity, and the conduits that are used to elevate wires and cables above the ceiling. Plenum is also recycled. Glass from windows is sometimes recycled. The frames for windows is usually recycled. If its aluminum frames then you bet. If its hollow metal then sometimes. Everything else is hard to sell like gypsum walls, concrete, wood, etc... Normally you don't get much out of it all and generally its put to the cost of paying for demolition and thats about it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy how they leave what I assume to be a perfectly good fire extinguisher and trash can in the building, soon to be rubble. I'd have salvaged some of that stuff... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The front of it is all bashed in too right now. They were taking some stuff out on a trailer yesterday like hardwood boards and some fixtures. Probably just delayed until it's cleaned out inside. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gatway2k Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 They hauled away the metal supporting the awnings and packed up the excavator this morning in the rain, so possibly they are leaving the building for awhile... 🤷🏻♂️ If you’re bored, feel free to look at some of the vids/booms I’ve taken: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/0p9dtc4eugtypdc/AABhxHWhghdS5QlrVctcOxAAa?dl=0 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
