RECOMMENDATIONS
Estimate quantity of masonry needs to avoid waste on work site.
Select masonry products with recycled content when possible.
Reuse is possible just after to verify the structural performance of
the elements so it is not always recommendable.
Clean concrete chunks, old brick, broken blocks can be buried on site
during foundation back-filling.
Concrete and other unusable masonry elements can be crushed and process
it for roadbed aggregate and other uses.
Masonry has to be reinforced with steel in seismic zones.
