Looking for information on waste reduction for renovations/demolitions.

The issue is partly to do with the total waste material generated but more to do with diverting it from landfill. In the GVRD about 67%% of construction waste is diverted to other uses. On some projects (not houses) we are getting over 90% diversion rates.
