Demolition Services
We provide comprehensive demolition services for residential, commercial, and industrial structures of all sizes. Our turnkey solutions include permit acquisition, hazardous material removal, site preparation, and landscaping. With specialized equipment and experienced operators, we handle projects ranging from single-family homes to complete industrial plants while maintaining strict safety standards.
Aggregate Production
Our aggregate production service transforms demolition concrete into reusable construction materials. Using advanced crushing equipment, we produce various sizes of recycled aggregate for different applications. The +75mm size serves as industrial base material, while 63mm is ideal for residential projects. We offer delivery services and maintain stock of recycled asphalt aggregate for specialized needs.
Metal Recycling
We process over 15,000 tonnes of scrap metal annually through our comprehensive recycling service. Our equipment includes four shears and three grapples for efficient material handling. We offer on-site processing for industrial clients, with transparent 'Weigh and Pay' system tracking material value. This service reduces site cleanup costs while promoting sustainable resource use.
Bin Rental Service
Our bin rental division provides construction waste management solutions across Edmonton. We offer various container sizes for residential and commercial projects, with fast delivery and pickup. The service integrates with our recycling programs to maximize waste diversion. We handle hazardous material containment and provide accurate waste stream tracking for environmental compliance.
Wood Recycling
We convert demolition wood waste into three valuable products through our wood recycling service. Shredded lumber creates landscaping mulch, compost material, and 'hog fuel' for energy production. This sustainable solution reduces landfill waste while creating secondary resources. Our processing capabilities handle both residential and industrial wood waste volumes efficiently.

Bad experience dealing with this company. Please avoid this company at all cost and save yourself the headache. Very unethical with the way they perform their business and have no respect to anyone private property.

A job that should take 2-3 days takes weeks. They show up whenever they feel like it with no regards to the customers timing needs.
