Southwest Destructors

At our total demolition work sites, we separate materials to the maximum extent we can using our advanced demolition equipment. Mostly all metals are scrapped and we pass these savings on to you through reduced rates. By weight, we are one of the largest demolition recyclers in Austin since almost all of our concrete rubble from local jobs is taken to the only permanent concrete crushing plant in Central Texas. Once there, the rebar is separated from the concrete,it’s then processed into road base and select fill. While this method costs a little more than just regular disposal, in the end it benefits our customers because we spend less time removing rebar (required by city and state regulations to be cut within 6”), enabling us to get finished faster with less labor and heavy equipment time. By making beneficial re-use possible, we help reduce the need for the extraction of raw materials for construction, as well as transporting those materials from outlying areas.

 

The remainder of our debris is disposed of only at permitted landfills. Proper disposal has become increasingly important as authorities crack down on illegal dumping. As the owner, it definitely matters where your trash goes because you can be held civilly and criminally liable for improper disposal. Upon request, we will gladly furnish you with copies of weight tickets showing you where the debris from your job has gone.
