When old brick buildings are demolished, we rescue the bricks for reuse. Instead of being crushed as demolition waste, the bricks are sorted, cleaned, graded and blended and are then returned to the marketplace to be reused in new commercial, residential and landscaping projects.
We offer a Finder’s Fee for every brick we rescue for re-use from a NSW demolition site.
The Finder’s Fee is paid to the first person to notify us when a brick building is going to be demolished. We do the rescue. You simply contact us with the site address information.
“Every time you reuse 2,000 old bricks instead of new bricks, you save the environment 1 tonne of CO2.”

The Brick Rescue community program is a great educational fundraising opportunity for schools.
Brick Rescue’s community program was created to try and save more bricks from being crushed when brick structures are demolished. The program encourages people in the community to send us the site address when a brick building is going to be demolished and rewards them with a Finders Fee for every brick that we rescue as a result of the tip off.
If you see a brick building with security fences up, demolition machinery onsite, roof, doors or windows being removed, send us a Demo Alert and we will pay you a Finder’s Fee for every brick we rescue. The bricks that we rescue are upcycled at our yard and reused in new projects.
We strongly believe that Brick Rescue is the only responsible environmentally sustainable and energy efficient response when brick structures are demolished.
It’s heartbreaking that in an age where energy, the environment, sustainability and conservation are such hot topics, hundreds of thousands of bricks are still crushed as demolition waste every day when they could be rescued, upcycled and reused instead.
There is still much work to be done in this area. Local councils can specify in the DA that brick is upcycled for reuse and require a third party inspection by a registered brick recycler to determine whether the brick can be upcycled. Crushing brick with other demolition waste could be approved only after an inspection determines that the brick cannot be reused.
