Construction sites create large amounts of waste and it may be tempting to simply burn it or take it to the landfill, however there are better options. Keep in mind that the eco-friendlier your methods of waste disposal, the less your building will affect the earth.
What are your options for waste disposal on a construction site? Here are a few.
Recycling
You may be surprised at how much of your waste is recyclable. The simplest way to handle this is to talk to a waste disposal service that offers recycling services. They will take things like scrap metal and leftover wood to be reused and turned into something very useful.
Recycling means your impact on the environment is much less than if you simply had everything taken to the landfill. Instead, it will be used again and turned into a whole new product.
Muck Away
Soil that is dug up to build foundations or create flatter spaces can be used elsewhere. Muck away services will collect this soil and other types of spoil and take it to where it can be used. Everything from topsoil to subsoil can be used in gardens or to fill in construction sites that are too low. This means all that waste product can be used without being dumped in the landfill.
Tipping
Not everything will be taken and reused. Some things will certainly end up in a landfill, but this is something that can be greatly reduced by working with an eco-friendly service. It’s possible to separate out all the materials that can be recycled and used elsewhere, which drastically reduces your impact on the environment.
Stone Removal
Did you know that stone is a sought after material in many industries? If you’re trying to remove the stone on your property, it’s quite likely someone else is looking for it. Even if the stone is not able to be used as it is, some companies will just break it down and use it as aggregate.
In some cases, you may even be able to break bricks and concrete down into aggregate as well. This can then be reused in concrete applications.
By taking care of your waste and working with the right waste disposal company, you can greatly reduce your carbon footprint and ensure that everything from the construction site is put to good use.
