Recovery value is created or destroyed in the first hour of handling. Once alloys are mixed, cable is contaminated and a reusable pump is treated as tonnage, the value is gone — no downstream sorting recovers it fully. That is why DDMS Global treats recovery as an execution discipline that begins at the survey, not as a commercial afterthought handled at the gate.
Our surveys identify three streams before dismantling begins: assets with direct reuse value, materials with grade-specific recovery value, and residues requiring compliant disposal. Each stream gets its own handling protocol, its own laydown area and its own documentation trail. Crews are briefed on grade separation the same way they are briefed on safety.
Transparency is the second half of the service. Every movement is weighed, ticketed and reconciled. You receive a recovery statement that ties tonnages to grades, grades to destinations, and destinations to licensed receiving facilities — with the paperwork to support it. Owners generally find that visibility is worth as much as the recovery itself.

Recovery survey and valuation
Systematic inventory of reusable assets and recoverable materials with indicative grades and tonnages, giving you a value picture before the commercial structure is agreed.
Stream definition
Materials are assigned to reuse, recycling or disposal streams with a defined handling protocol, laydown allocation and documentation requirement for each.
Segregation at source
Separation happens at the work front as material is released — not later in a mixed pile. Crews work to a grade-separation brief with supervisor verification.
Grading and consolidation
Consolidated material is graded, cut to transport length where needed, cleaned of contamination and staged in segregated bays for dispatch.
Weighbridge and documentation
Every load is weighed and ticketed. Material transfer notes, hazardous waste consignment notes and dispatch records are raised at the point of movement.
Routing to licensed outlets
Material is routed only to permitted, verified receiving facilities. Licence status is checked and recorded rather than assumed.
Recovery statement
A reconciled statement tying tonnage to grade to destination, supported by the underlying tickets and manifests, issued as part of project close-out.
Value captured at source
Grade separation during dismantling protects recovery value that mixed handling permanently destroys.
Reuse before recycling
Assets and structural sections with a genuine second life are identified and preserved rather than defaulted into the melt stream.
Full financial transparency
Weighbridge-backed reconciliation lets you verify what left site, at what grade, and where it went.
Downstream liability closed
Routing exclusively to verified licensed facilities, with the documentation to demonstrate it, closes duty-of-care exposure properly.

Answered directly by the engineers who deliver this scope.
Through a recovery survey that inventories reusable assets and estimates recoverable tonnage by grade. It produces an indicative value range, deliberately stated as a range because realised value depends on market pricing at the point of dispatch. The mechanism for reconciling estimate against outcome is agreed in the contract.
Yes, and on material-rich scopes it can offset a substantial proportion of it. We structure this transparently: an agreed pricing basis, weighbridge-verified tonnages and a reconciliation at close-out rather than a single opaque net figure.
Every load carries a weighbridge ticket and a transfer note identifying the receiving facility. We verify and record the licence status of each outlet. The recovery statement reconciles tonnage to grade to destination with the supporting documents attached.
It is registered at survey stage, segregated under a separate protocol, packaged to the applicable transport requirements and consigned to licensed treatment or disposal facilities under hazardous waste consignment notes with full chain-of-custody documentation.
Yes — depollution, fluid recovery, component separation, tyre and battery handling, and hulk processing, carried out under authorised treatment protocols with destruction certification issued where required.
