The City of Seattle does not require that construction and demolition materials are salvaged but does encourage material reuse. A Salvage Assessment paired with the help of a Verifying Agent specializing in material reuse markets will help identify which materials from a project site are likely to be salvaged for reuse. The Verifying Agent makes this assessment based on current market demands, but the assessment is not a guarantee. Fluctuating markets and consumer needs based on location may impact the retail for some materials identified as “salvageable.”
