Interior Debris Clean-up, Selective Demolition, and Waste Removal

Before the conversion could begin, the space needed to be cleared of debris left behind by several businesses that had previously occupied the mill. Banner Environmental Services was responsible for any small-scale, selective demolition and then cleaning out all of the debris that had accumulated in the space, both inside and outside of the building. Banner also removed demising partition walls and flooring coverings that were no longer needed for the new self-storage facility. 

Asbestos Abatement and Removal from the Mill

Because Banner Environmental Services is a company that specializes in environmental remediation and industrial cleaning services, so we were tasked with managing the asbestos abatement and removal process. This involved identifying and testing the presence of asbestos-containing materials, developing a plan for safe removal, and ensuring the proper disposal of asbestos and any other regulated materials and hazardous waste according to local regulations.


Asbestos is a hazardous material commonly used in construction prior to the 1980s, which can cause serious health problems if inhaled. Proper removal and disposal of asbestos is crucial to ensure the safety of workers and anyone who may come into contact with the material.


Exterior Debris Clean-up and Waste Removal

The exterior of the building also required significant attention. Banner cleared away debris and overgrown vegetation surrounding the mill and removed all exterior signs, awnings, and staircases that were no longer needed for the new use of the building.
