Construction waste management and skip bin services in Australia to keep you regulatory-compliant

Construction waste includes a variety of waste types such as concrete, bricks, wood, furniture, scrap metals, glass, etc. Most of the construction waste can be recycled and reused in other construction projects with the use of right construction waste management and recycling techniques. Proper waste management can also help in cost savings, as construction teams can cut down on the requirement to buy new materials. They can also save money on disposal fees by minimising waste, and properly dispose of any waste that is generated by a construction & destruction (C&D) project.  

Construction waste can be inert, hazardous, or non-hazardous. Inert waste does not decompose easily such as bricks, asphalt, concrete, etc. Non-hazardous waste includes the waste type that does not immediately damage the environment or human health. These include wood, plastic, glass, and metal. On the other hand, hazardous waste has a high potential to harm the environment and human health. Examples of hazardous waste include lead-based paints, asbestos, and solvents. Specialist construction waste management service should be able to provide you with the right skip bin service and commercial waste management solutions to deal with all types of waste that are generated from construction activity.  

 

Dealing with hazardous and non-hazardous waste  

Recycling and reuse is the focus area of any construction waste management solution. Richmond Waste is the trusted waste management service in Lismore, Ballina, Byron, Kyogle, and Richmond Valley council areas that provides tailor-made construction waste management solutions to meet specific needs of construction projects. Inert waste can be recycled and reused, such as smashed concrete can be used as a road base. Non-hazardous waste from the construction project, such as wood waste, metal waste, cardboard and paper can be easily recycled. When it comes to dealing with hazardous waste, Richmond Waste uses well-trained crew who can handle hazardous waste in a compliant manner, ensuring that all regulatory requirements are met with. 

Some common types of waste for which Richmond Waste provides collection, disposal, and recycling solutions are: 

 

·         Drywall 

·         Concrete 

·         bricks 

·         Asbestos 

·         Tiles and ceramics  

·         Adhesives, paints and varnishes 

·         Wood 

·         Glass 

·         Plastic 

·         Metals 

·         Insulation and asbestos materials  

 

Reinforced concrete has a high recycling value as it may be reused to build new concrete. As there will be less demand for vehicles, transportation expenses will be low as well. Asbestos and insulation are two common components of C&D waste that are extremely toxic. Richmond Waste provides specialist skip bin services to ensure that this toxic waste is not exposed to cause harm to human health and the environment. Moreover, the waste is treated for use in other appropriate applications. Dredging material from C&D activities, such as tree stumps, rocks, and rubble can also be recycled and reused. Plastic waste, such as PVC siding, PEX pipes, and Styrofoam can be collected by commercial bin services for proper recycling and reuse.  

 

Recycling ferrous and non-ferrous materials  

Ferrous material from construction waste has high profitability and can be used multiple times. Majority of non-ferrous materials, such as aluminium, lead, and zinc can be recycled and reused. Masonry waste can be used as recycled masonry waste by construction waste management services. Paper and cardboard can be reprocessed to produce new paper products. Plastic can be reused in the products where recycled materials can be used, such as street furniture, cable ducting, and noise barriers. Similarly, timber from construction waste can be easily reused after de-nailing and sizing.  

 

Skip bins used for construction and other waste disposal are designed to be sturdy and safe for waste disposal in all situations. A variety of bins are offered by Richmond Waste’s skip bin services that are equipped with features like doors and ramps for easy loading. These features enable easy transportation and also reduce the risk of leakages or accidents. These are best options for occupational health and safety as the bins help prevent clutter at a job site, office or residential location.  

 

Skip bins on hire  

While short-term hire of skip bins is most common, long-term hire or permanent skip bin hire is common for businesses that create a consistent waste stream. Richmond Waste’s skip bin service can provide you with tailor-made solutions to meet your peculiar waste management needs. Green skip bins are a great option for garden waste. Most bins provided by the skip bin services have doors at the back, allowing the crew to wheel the rubbish straight in. This also allows for the rubbish to dropped in from the top if there are forklifts or cranes on site. Moreover, the cost of skip bin hire is much cheaper than other waste disposal options, especially if you have a lot of waste to dispose of. Skips also give you a lot of convenience, as these can be easily dropped off at your location, be it an office, home, construction site, industrial premises, or public area.
