Our Process
How we plan and deliver construction and demolition waste recycling
Construction and demolition waste recycling separates concrete, brick, asphalt, metal, clean wood, cardboard, and other recoverable materials from disposal streams so they can reach suitable processing facilities. Harrowgate performs source separation, controlled demolition support, sorting, loading, hauling coordination, and quantity documentation across Toronto and the GTA for commercial, industrial, and municipal projects.
- 01 Send your inquiry, a few photos or a description of the site.
- 02 We come out, assess the site, take measurements, and confirm the scope.
- 03 We complete the construction and demolition waste recycling on site, to the load and finish the job needs.
- 04 We install it, finish to grade, and clean up, one accountable crew, start to finish.

Understanding construction and demolition waste recycling
How we complete construction and demolition waste recycling
Our construction and demolition waste recycling sequence starts with verified site information, controlled work zones, and written acceptance points, then moves through field execution, consultant inspection, records, and restoration. We assign each material, asset, sample area, and load a defined status so crews know what can move, what must remain exposed, and who releases the next step.
Before demolition, we establish labelled collection areas and protect them from site traffic and runoff. Selective dismantling removes fixtures, metals, equipment, cardboard, and reusable components before structural demolition creates mixed debris. Concrete and masonry are kept clear of garbage and can be downsized to receiving limits using excavators, breakers, pulverizers, magnets, and screens where appropriate. Wood, drywall, metal, and residual waste use dedicated bins or controlled sorting. Supervisors inspect loads, record destination and ticket data, and reconcile recovered weights with the waste audit categories.
Our supervisors treat diversion as production control. Bin placement, equipment access, labels, contamination checks, pickup timing, ticket collection, and quantity reconciliation appear in the site plan and daily log. This keeps recyclable value from disappearing into mixed debris and gives owners a documented chain from the point of generation to the receiving facility.
Materials, specs, and Ontario standards
Materials and acceptance criteria for construction and demolition waste recycling come from the current Ontario requirements, approved drawings, consultant documents, receiving facilities, and owner standards that apply to the actual site. We check those criteria before procurement or hauling, record field changes, and preserve the evidence required for inspection, environmental review, and future construction.
Ontario Regulation 103/94 requires source separation programs for designated industrial, commercial, and institutional establishments and qualifying construction or demolition projects. Ontario Regulation 102/94 requires waste audits and waste reduction work plans for designated projects, including construction or demolition projects meeting the applicable 2,000 square metre floor area threshold. Ontario Regulation 347 designates brick, cardboard, concrete, drywall, steel, and wood from construction or demolition sites as wastes subject to its rules unless a specific reuse provision applies. Receiving facility authorization and contamination limits remain decisive.
Ontario Regulation 347 defines and controls waste streams and receiving facilities. Designated construction and demolition projects may also fall under Ontario Regulation 102/94 for waste audits and reduction work plans and Ontario Regulation 103/94 for source separation. Excess soil is assessed separately under Ontario Regulation 406/19 and the Rules for Soil Management. We confirm the governing classification before hauling because soil, processed aggregate, recyclable material, and waste do not share one rule.
What goes wrong, and how we prevent it
Construction and Demolition Waste Recycling fails when field production gets ahead of characterization, isolation, inspection, or documentation. Harrowgate prevents that gap with staged work, clearly marked hold points, segregated materials, daily records, and immediate escalation of changed conditions. The goal is to protect people and operations while avoiding rejected loads, concealed deficiencies, repeat excavation, and schedule loss.
Diversion collapses when bins are poorly placed, labels are unclear, demolition gets ahead of sorting, or rain turns drywall and cardboard into unusable loads. A small amount of insulation, garbage, soil, or hazardous residue can downgrade a full bin. We brief operators on the material sequence, use spotters at loading, protect weather sensitive streams, keep residual containers convenient, and audit bins throughout the shift. Known hazardous building materials are removed under the applicable plan before general recycling begins.
We review the next two weeks of work against approvals, sampling, deliveries, shutdowns, and weather. Daily pre work discussions identify the exact limits and status of each area. Photographs and measurements are taken before concealment, and unresolved items stay visible on the field log until the responsible reviewer provides direction or acceptance.

FAQ
Construction and Demolition Waste Recycling FAQ
What information is needed before construction and demolition waste recycling starts?
We start with pre demolition survey, material inventory, abatement status, outlets, bins, and sequence. We also confirm access, utilities, operating restrictions, consultant responsibilities, notices, and the intended endpoint. Resolving these items before mobilization lets the field team establish controls, receiving routes, hold points, and contingency space instead of making compliance decisions beside an open excavation.
What drives the schedule and scope for construction and demolition waste recycling?
The main drivers are Ontario Regulation 102/94 and 103/94 thresholds and duties for designated projects. Weather, laboratory turnaround, inspection availability, and working hours can also control production. We build the sequence around the slowest approval or physical constraint and identify parallel tasks that continue without covering work, mixing materials, or compromising a required hold point.
Which Ontario requirements apply to this work?
The governing requirements depend on the material, property, equipment, and approval. The work can involve selective removal first, then controlled separation of concrete, metal, wood, drywall, and residuals. We confirm the current project specific criteria with the engineer, Qualified Person, owner, municipality, or TSSA as applicable. A general industry practice never replaces the written requirement that governs the actual site.
How does Harrowgate document construction and demolition waste recycling?
Our field record includes only when an authorized receiving facility will immediately separate acceptable material. Entries are tied to dates and work areas so quantities and events can be reconstructed. We reconcile documents during the job, not only at closeout, which gives the owner and consultant time to correct a missing ticket, unclear location, or inconsistent quantity before demobilization.
How are unexpected site conditions handled?
We use daily bin checks, clear labels, operator briefing, covered streams, and load inspection. Work pauses until the condition is safe, isolated, and assigned a documented response. The supervisor records what changed, where it occurred, who provided direction, and how material or equipment was controlled, preventing an unexpected discovery from contaminating accepted work or disappearing from the record.
Can the work proceed while the facility or project remains active?
Yes, where the design permits it. We plan scale tickets, category, destination, date, load count, rejected material, and reconciled totals. The operating boundary, shutdown windows, truck route, emergency access, controls, and daily handback condition are agreed before work starts. Production is staged so facility staff and construction crews do not share uncontrolled access to the work zone.
What should be included in the final field record?
Closeout should include hazardous material handled under its specific plan before general recycling. Depending on the project, it can also include photographs, surveys, receiving records, inspection releases, operating logs, test results, redline drawings, and a list of remaining assets. The package supports the owner's consultant and operations team, but professional certifications remain with the appropriately qualified person.
