Environmental Responsibility in Demolition: How ALBA Protects the Community

In a fast-paced city like New York, demolition is more than tearing down walls—it’s about building responsibly. At ALBA Services Inc., we believe in doing our part to protect the community, the environment, and the future of our urban spaces. As a fully licensed and insured demolition company serving the five boroughs, we are committed to safety, sustainability, and compliance.

Why Environmental Responsibility Matters

Demolition can generate dust, noise, hazardous waste, and other pollutants if not managed properly. That’s why environmental oversight is no longer optional—it’s essential. ALBA Services takes this responsibility seriously, implementing stringent practices that go beyond city requirements.

Dust Suppression: Controlling Airborne Particles

Dust from demolition isn’t just a nuisance—it can pose serious health risks. ALBA uses:

Water misting systems to suppress dust on-site.

Barriers and containment for indoor gut jobs to protect nearby occupied units.

Real-time monitoring where required to ensure air quality standards are met.

These steps help protect nearby residents, workers, and passersby from harmful exposure.

Asbestos and Hazardous Material Handling

Older buildings often contain hazardous materials like asbestos, lead paint, or mold. At ALBA:

We perform site assessments before demolition begins.

We work with licensed environmental professionals for safe abatement.

Our team follows strict OSHA and NYC DEP protocols to ensure proper handling and disposal.

This protects both the workers on-site and the broader community from exposure to toxins.

Noise Control: Respecting the Neighborhood

New York City never sleeps, but that doesn’t mean your demolition site should be disruptive. ALBA Services uses:

Time-restricted operations in compliance with NYC Noise Code.

Low-noise machinery and vibration-reduction techniques where applicable.

Community notifications, especially for long-term or high-impact projects.

We aim to minimize the disturbance to neighbors, businesses, and sensitive environments like schools and hospitals.

Clean Site Exits and Waste Management

Responsible demolition includes what happens after the building is down:

Swept and cleared streets to avoid dust, nails, and other debris hazards.

Proper waste separation to support recycling and LEED goals.

Timely carting services to avoid dumpster overflow and street congestion.

ALBA ensures every project wraps up clean, organized, and ready for the next phase of development.

Working With Developers and City Partners

We proudly work alongside developers, city agencies, and eco-conscious clients who prioritize sustainable construction practices. Whether it's a private project or a public redevelopment effort, we bring the same high standards of care.
