What to do with construction waste?

Construction debris removal

Whether constructing a building, a simple house, or renovating, a significant amount of waste will inevitably be produced. Leftovers from wood, steel, plastic, ceramic, wiring, and various other materials are to be expected. This is partly due to materials being purchased in excess, as well as leftover scraps resulting from cutting materials to fit custom sizes. Demolition is the construction phase that generates the most waste. It is estimated that in the US, approximately 90% of construction waste is generated by demolition.

Amidst the challenge of waste generation comes the difficulty of disposing of all this material. Unfortunately, in many places, there is a lack of proper disposal methods. Much of this waste ends up in landfills. However, many of these materials can be recycled, such as plastics, cardboard, metals, glass, and wood. Others, such as paints, solvents, and varnishes, can be donated. Crushed aggregates can be used to create non-structural concrete.
