Construction waste management and skip bin hire services to help you control the costs of your projects

Waste production is inevitable in any construction and demolition (C&D) project. These activities can have a major negative influence on the environment, as not only it is produced in bulk but may also include hazardous substances. It may include inert waste that is non-reactive, and does not decompose, like concrete, soil, and asphalt. Hazardous waste in the C&D waste may be in the form of chemicals, solvents, lead-based paints, and aesbestos, while non-hazardous waste in it may include the waste that does not damage the environment or human health immediately, like wood, cardboard, glass, and metals. The focus of any construction waste management strategy is to minimise the amount of materials going to landfills. It also helps redirect recyclable and recovered resources back to the manufacturing process.  

 

Any construction waste management plan should also include the materials to be salvaged or recycled, materials handling requirements, and how the plan will be communicated to the subcontractors. Professional construction waste management companies in Australia, such as Richmond Waste, use specialised methods to manage these different waste types. Inert waste is segregated on-site, concrete and asphalt can be crushed and reused in new constructions. Non-hazardous waste like cardboard and metal can be reused whenever possible. Hazardous waste is collected keeping local regulations in mind. The company’s crew dealing with hazardous construction waste management comes with an emergency response strategy, leakage prevention, and countermeasure strategy.  

 

Best-in-class recycling and reuse practices 

Most C&D waste is generated at the project site, and as such, is subject to local laws and regulations. Local practices in construction waste management are shaped by the availability of disposal sites, transportation options, and the availability of skip bin hire services. While working at the project level, the trained crew of Richmond Waste works to enhance your project value, by using the best-in-class recycling and reuse practices. The disposition level of construction waste management includes the segregation, sorting, handling, and transporting of all types of construction waste, including inert, hazardous, and non-hazardous waste. This is administered under license, and in accordance with all laws and regulations. The service provider can take project-specific approaches to managing waste, including custom diversion plans.  

 

Licensed crew to deal with hazardous waste  

Licensed waste carriers of Richmond Waste aim for minimal landfill policy, wherein its crews work to recycle and reuse the maximum amount of C&D waste. The licensed crews are experienced in handling different types of C&D waste, including hazardous waste, and its safe collection and disposal. Construction and demolition waste is a complex waste stream, which is made of a wide variety of materials, debris, rubble, and mixed waste type materials. To minimise the impact of C&D waste, project owners should work on reducing the production of waste at the jobsite. For this, project managers should plan before starting their project. A detailed plan should account for potential waste type and its volume, and identification of recyclable materials.  

 

Robust skip bins of different sizes  

Project owners can also consider deconstruction, instead of construction, which includes selective dismantling of the building structure, piece by piece to preserve reusable materials, and prevent waste. The salvaged materials are reused and transformed into valuable resources that can be used in other construction projects. Additionally, you can also donate the recovered materials, and use them as tax write-off. Richmond Waste also offers skip bin hire services as part of its integrated construction waste management solutions. Skip bins are large containers that are specially designed for efficient removal of construction waste. Open skips do not have any lid and can be used for non-hazardous waste, while closed skips come with lids that make them safe for use in different settings. Roll On and Roll Off (RORO) skips are designed to withstand harsh use and weather conditions. These are larger than traditional skips and can accommodate different types of construction waste, like bricks, rubble, wiring, and tree stumps, among others.  

Richmond Waste’s skip bins hire service offers bins of various sizes ranging in capacity from 4 cubic metres to 60 cubic metres. The company offers flexible skip bin hire services to make it easy for you to manage your waste. Whether you need skip bin hire for a small clean-up job, or a large construction project, you will find the right size of skip bin at Richmond Waste.
