What should you do with all the “junk” left at a construction site? Should you continue to dump things off at a landfill? Though it doesn’t seem like you’d be able to do anything with construction debris, think about recycling the next time you’re on a site. Your recycling practices in the industry can make a big difference. Plus, you’ll be able to be a leader that other construction or demolition companies can follow.
Getting Rid of Construction Debris
Non-residential demolition takes the cake when it comes to how much debris is made (39%). That’s compared to 6% of residential construction and 11% of residential demolition. Taking any of the metals, masonry, drywall, and other elements of recycling are your best bet. By turning your construction site or your construction company green, you’ll be avoiding landfill prices as well as contributing to the production of lower-cost recycled products. By recycling all of these products you are able to create a smaller carbon footprint. Hopefully, that also makes you feel better. Though it does take some extra planning, recycling your construction debris can be made easy in conjunction with other companies (like ours!).
We make it easy for you to recycle your construction site’s goods. We can provide the dumpsters or simply the facility in which you can deliver these recyclable goods.
There are some general guidelines to follow when it comes to waste recycling at your construction site. Not everything can be recycled and it’s important to take note. With many concerns about landfills, our business has been founded on the need to do our part for the environment. So, can concrete disposal happen? The material will most likely show up at your construction site. And, when it does, it’s great to know what can be done about it.
A Job Site’s Concrete Disposal
In general, concrete can be recycled. In most cases, the unwanted concrete at a job site can be reprocessed into crushed stone. Being able to find a new purpose for it allows you to reduce waste in our landfills and preserve natural resources. The EPA has already reported that roughly 50 percent of materials in landfills are concrete. Your business or your own project can take the lead in reducing that percentage. Finding a new life for the concrete slabs you’ve piled up should come easy. Quite simply, it doesn’t even need to leave the property.
When you’re working on a job site that requires concrete, you’ll be able to use previous concrete found on site. Concrete pavements can be broken and used as base layers for asphalt pavements. It can also be used as the dry aggregate for brand new concrete so long as it’s free of any contaminants.
So, before you think about chunking a pile of concrete into more trash, think of how it may serve another purpose. If not for you, maybe for someone else’s project. The concrete doesn’t need to be disposed of.
