During the 12 months of demolition, Penn Medicine implemented an extensive recycling program in conjunction with the contractor overseeing the project to:
- separate steel from concrete
- crush concrete, remove aluminum, copper and other metals from general debris
- minimize the amount of debris going to a landfill.
We estimated that upwards of 85% of the demolition materials were diverted from landfills and recycled.
