How should commercial demolition debris be handled?
It is imperative that you have a clear understanding (and written confirmation) of who will be handling debris disposal. Disposal costs vary quite a bit based on the type of debris, local disposal fees, and how close the demolition site is to the landfill or recycling facility.
Speak with the demolition contractors you speak to in order to see how they will handle the resulting debris, how much it will cost, etc.
