recycling old garage

We have an old 1 car, wood sided garage with a 1 car adjoining concrete slab carport with shingled roof above. The concrete in the garage itself is pretty cracked, the wood on either side of the garage door is rotting at the bottom due to backward slope of alley and apron for drainage. We're starting to talk about a new 2 car garage.

Can we recycle any of the existing setup in the new build? I'd bet we have lead paint on the siding so no recycling for that. The shingled roof is ugly so the shingles will go. We can recycle the windows. But how about the concrete? Is there any way that can be recycled? I'd love to have less for the landfill, if possible. Thanks for any ideas.
