Steps to Efficient Rubbish Removal in a Building Demolition Project

Demolition projects usually generate a lot of waste, and there is a need to come up with a practical solution to proper collection and disposal. As a demolition project manager, you need to come up with efficient yet sustainable ways of managing waste in your project. Sustainable rubbish removal calls for ensuring that very little waste ends up in the landfill. On the other hand, efficient techniques provide that resources such as time and money are taken into consideration. This article will address some of the steps that you can take to ensure sustainable and efficient waste removal in your demolition project.

Sort the waste

When demolishing a building, you end up with different types of wastes, some of which should end up in the landfill while others can be recycled. Before you hurdle up everything in one bin, sort the garbage and categorise it into various types based on where it will end up. Waste categories from a demolition project include the following;

• Hazardous waste which comprises of treated woods, sanding dust, lead-containing materials, mercury-containing lamps and bulbs, and asbestos materials.
• Recyclable building materials such as untreated timber, concrete, drywall, tiles, metals, and plastic.
• Other recyclable materials such as cardboard, paper, rigid plastics, porcelain, carpets, crushed concrete, and rock.
• Unsalvageable waste materials

Dividing your waste into such categories will allow proper disposal and ensure that each item ends up where it should. The last thing you need is to have tile, timber, or plastic ending up in the landfill when they can be recycled and help cut on your next project's costs.

Get adequate skip bins

 The amount of waste generated in a demolition project cannot fit in one container. You need several skip bins to collect garbage on time and ensure that it is properly disposed of. When looking for a skip hire company, make accurate projections on the amount of waste you expect to have on the site. Then, hire skips for the various types of waste as categorised above. Make sure that the bins are appropriately sized as well. For example, the bin you would need for hazardous waste will not be as big as the one for recyclable or unsalvageable waste.  Label the skips so that workers can know where to put each type of waste.

Organize for collection

Most demolition projects take more than a day to complete, and this means that you need to manage waste that's generated at the end of each day. If possible, hire a company that can collect waste once every day or two depending on the amount that is generated on a single day. This way, you can avoid getting stuck with full bins and nowhere to put the remaining waste.

Proper waste management in a demolition project will result in environmental conservation and time and cost savings. Hire a skip bin company for efficient rubbish collection and disposal services.
