<div>Does anyone have any idea what percentage of a demolition of double brick house actually gets recycled? I was at the recycle centre the other day and one poor guy got his load of 'bricks' (bricks + dirt + roots) put back into his truck.

<font color="black"><font face="Arial">It seems to me that the standard demo is to knock everything down as quickly as possible and maybe take it to a sorting area and try to sort it. I can't really see how effective it would be to try to sort it and that most of it would simply end up at general rubbish.
