Construction & Demolition Recycling

The practice of recycling old and unwanted materials has been around for a long time, almost as long as people have existed. The Recycling Today Media Group (RTMG) may not have been around that long, but our dedication to the recycling sector began in 1963 with the launch of Recycling Today, originally known as Secondary Raw Materials magazine. Since then, we have expanded our offerings from a single trade magazine to a wide range of publications and resources that support the industry.
