Our Decommission Process
Hilldrup approaches every decommission and asset liquidation project with two goals: minimizing environmental impact and maximizing value for our clients.
Our standard waste reduction and diversion approach includes:
- Initial Project Audit: We begin with a thorough project audit to understand your sustainability goals, reporting requirements, and overall expectations.
- Asset Inventory & Categorization: When needed, we conduct a full inventory of decommissioned items to determine the best path forward. Assets are categorized for reuse, recycling, resale, donation, transfer station (waste-to-energy), or responsible disposal, based on your priorities.
- Tracking & Reporting: We track and document outcomes using weigh tickets, receipts, proof of sale, and donation releases. These records support ESG goals, internal compliance, and lease closeout documentation.
- Sustainable Diversion Strategy: Our team actively seeks opportunities to divert waste from landfills, reduce at the source, and identify qualified handlers for items with reuse or recycling potential.
