PROPER DISPOSING OF
CONSTRUCTION DEBRIS
Construction sites generate waste materials, including excess building materials and construction waste. Proper disposal is crucial to prevent issues. Disposing of construction debris using skips is a common method. Skips are transported and retrieved by large HGVs, making them convenient for on-site filling. However, when using skips, consider the waste quantity and skip placement. Ideally, place the skip on-premises if enough space is available, avoiding public footpaths or government-owned property.
It’s worth noting that certain hazardous waste substances, like asbestos, solvents, and chemicals such as paint, cannot be disposed of in skips or landfills due to their potential to contaminate soil and water. These substances must be disposed of properly at authorised hazardous waste management facilities.
To minimise the environmental impact of building waste, it is crucial to consider recycling options. Collaborating with your architect and building contractor early in the design process will allow you to develop effective strategies for managing material generation and disposal, prioritising the reuse of construction materials whenever possible. By taking waste to a recycling centre for repurposing and reuse, you can reduce environmental harm and achieve cost savings.
