When the structure falls during demolition, there are usually a variety of machines involved. The materials on the ground may be sifted through using a piece of equipment. If they are salvageable, the project manager may put them in separate storage for recycling.

Some examples of these materials often saved during demolitions, and strip outs are cement, flooring, and wood. They can be distributed to different recycling facilities where sorting and repurposing take place.
