Construction Waste Management Best Practices
Optimize your construction waste management for efficiency and sustainability
Planning & Prevention
1Conduct a Waste Audit
Before starting your project, estimate the types and quantities of waste that will be generated to plan appropriate bin sizes and collection schedules.
2Accurate Material Ordering
Order materials precisely to minimize excess and reduce waste. Consider using pre-cut or pre-fabricated materials where possible.
3Designate Waste Sorting Areas
Create dedicated areas on-site for different waste types to facilitate proper sorting and maximize recycling potential.
4Train Site Workers
Ensure all workers understand waste management procedures, including what materials go in which bins and what materials are prohibited.
On-Site Management
1Strategic Bin Placement
Position bins in convenient locations that minimize carrying distance while ensuring easy access for collection vehicles.
2Regular Monitoring
Check bins regularly to prevent overflow and ensure proper sorting. Schedule collections based on fill rates rather than fixed schedules when possible.
3Material Reuse
Identify materials that can be reused on-site before disposing of them. Set aside usable offcuts and excess materials for future use.
4Documentation
Maintain records of waste disposal for project documentation, sustainability certifications, and compliance with environmental regulations.

Construction Waste Recycling
How we process and recycle construction waste materials
Recycling Process
When we collect your construction waste, we ensure that recyclable materials are properly sorted and processed. Our commitment to sustainability means we maximize recycling rates for all suitable materials:
Material Sorting
Collected waste is sorted at specialized facilities to separate recyclable materials from general waste, maximizing resource recovery.
Wood Processing
Clean timber is processed into mulch, woodchips, or biomass fuel, while treated timber is handled according to environmental regulations.
Plasterboard Recycling
Plasterboard is processed to separate gypsum and paper, with the gypsum reused in new plasterboard production or as a soil amendment.
Packaging Recycling
Cardboard, plastic, and metal packaging materials are sorted and sent to specialized recycling facilities to be transformed into new products.
| Material Type | Recycling Rate | End Products | Environmental Benefits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Timber/Wood | Up to 90% | Mulch, woodchips, biomass fuel | Reduces deforestation, carbon sequestration |
| Plasterboard | Up to 95% | New plasterboard, soil amendments | Reduces mining impact, saves energy |
| Cardboard/Paper | Up to 98% | Recycled packaging, paper products | Saves trees, reduces water usage |
| Plastics | Up to 80% | New plastic products, composite materials | Reduces petroleum usage, prevents pollution |
