From waste to value – construction waste recycling and skip bin services in Australia

 Construction and demolition (C&D) activities result in a variety of wastes that includes concrete, bricks, timber, glass, plastic, metals, and even hazardous waste types, such as solvents and acids. Quantity and quality of waste generated from C&D activities will depend on the nature of the project, and the type of materials used in it. C&D waste consists of a big part of waste types generated in Australia, and most part of it can be diverted from landfills and used in manufacturing other products. Bricks from the C&D waste can be crushed and used as a filling material in other construction projects. Concrete can be used by construction waste recycling service as a replacement to natural aggregate in new concrete. Ferrous metal can be recycled multiple times. Similarly, non-ferrous metals like aluminium and zinc, paper, wood, and plastic can also be recycled multiple times.

  

 

Waste from C&D projects consists a variety of economically valuable materials, such as bricks, reusable aggregates, bitumen, and wood. Recovering these materials not only reduces pressure on using new materials each time but also cost savings. Specialists offering construction waste recycling services in Australia, such as Richmond Waste, can recycle concrete and rubble for C&D projects, that can be used as base for parking lots and roads. Crushed concrete has also been observed to provide better load-bearing capabilities. Asphalt from C&D waste can be used by construction waste recycling service to make recycled asphalt pavement (RAP). This eliminates the need to use virgin aggregate and saves construction costs. RAP also keeps your C&D waste from going to landfill, and also reduces carbon dioxide emissions.  

 

Improving your building’s environmental performance  

One of the main advantages of construction waste recycling is that it helps in reducing the impact of your C&D activities. Recycled materials can help conserve natural resources, lower greenhouse generation, and also improves energy efficiency. It can also help improve the environmental performance of the building by improving its thermal insulation and acoustic properties. Another benefit of construction waste recycling is that it helps reduce your construction costs. Recycled materials are cheaper than virgin materials, especially when sourced locally. Using recycled waste also reduces the expensive disposal fees and taxes of waste management. It can also increase the value and competitiveness of your building, as many investors are attracted to sustainable and socially responsible constructions.  

 

Advice on reducing waste  

Social benefits of construction waste recycling cannot be ignored. Recycling of materials involves the collaboration of many stakeholders, contractors, local authorities, and users, who can contribute to the planning, design, and implementation of the project. Recycled material can be repurposed for future use, and prevented from sitting in landfills. Richmond Waste makes use of the latest technologies for recycling of inert waste, hazardous waste, and non-hazardous waste generated from construction projects. The company's experts can also suggest ways to reduce waste from your project, thus reducing your waste transport and management costs.
