Cereza Passive House: 35 YEARS of Trash Avoided - Deconstructing a home

So what happens to the old house when you want to build a new home? You could bulldoze it and throw 110 tons of debris into a landfill, or you could deconstruct it for a bit more and keep 100 tons of trash out of the landfill. That is the equivalent to the same amount of trash the average American produces in 35 years of life. We can recycle all but 9% of the existing house by just paying attention, spending the time to disassemble the home, piece by piece, and when these materials get donated to a local non-profit that resells the recycled materials, getting the client a large tax deduction in the process.
