This large pile of concrete is from the demolished buildings and will be graded into smaller material when our large mechanical crusher arrives next week. Once crushed, the concrete will provide a solid foundation to help with creating the new building.

This is the last section remaining of the original two-storey structure awaiting demolition by the big machines.

Demolition of the original sheltered housing complex will be completed during the first week of April after work started on site in February this year.

Recycling is an important environmental consideration for Rydon helping to reduce the amount of waste we send to landfill. This is the wood salvaged from the original building, ready to be collected by local recycling company Towens Waste Management. All metal and copper pipework and doors have also been collected and recycled to be given a new purpose.

In the year 2013/14, 96.9% of total waste from Rydon sites was reused or recycled elsewhere - the equivalent of 174 six-yard skips.
