Des Plaines, Illinois

Champion Environmental Services, Inc. is nearing final preparation to begin the demolition of an industrial parcel in Des Plaines, Illinois. The building is 137,400 square feet and sits on six acres.

Champion Environmental Services, Inc. is excited about this project due to the high rate of recycling we will be able to achieve on behalf of a private client who is seeking LEED Certification for the new facility which will be built following demolition.

The brick exterior will be stripped, cleaned, and loaded onto pallets for reuse. All block, concrete, and unusable brick will be crushed on site for the contractors to incorporate in the new construction. All steel will be salvaged and sold.

The goal on this project for Champion Environmental Services, Inc. is to achieve a recycling rate of 98%. Due to our innovative efforts, a few thousand tons of debris will be diverted from landfills.

A full, itemized recycling report along with tonnage diverted from landfills will be provided here following completion of the project. Please check back here for update and pictures from this job.
