If you own or operate a business that produces construction waste, a waste management or recycling company can help you reduce and eliminate this waste. A waste management company can provide roll off dumpsters in different sizes for use in construction, demolition, restoration, or remodeling projects. Here is a look at some of the different types of construction waste that can be reused or recycled by a waste management company in Atlanta.
Building Materials
Construction, demolition, restoration, and remodeling projects all produce a lot of building material waste. Thiswaste may include insulation, nails, electrical wiring, rebar, wood, plaster, scrap metal, cement, and bricks. These materials may be damaged or unused, but can be recycled or reused in other forms. Waste wood can be recovered and recycled into wood for new building projects. Cement, bricks, and plaster can be crushed and reused in other construction or building projects. These materials can be collected in a roll of dumpster that can then be picked up by your waste management or recycling company.
Dredging Materials
Dredging materials are materials or objects that are displaced during the preparation of a construction or demolition site. These materials may include trees, tree stumps, rubble, dirt, and rocks. A waste management company can provide waste disposal and trash removal of dredging materials. If any of these materials can be reused or recycled, they will be taken to a recycling plant. A waste management company can also provide dumpster rentals in which you can collect this waste.
Hazardous Waste
The sites of construction, demolition, restoration, and remodeling projects often produce hazardous waste. Hazardous waste may include lead, asbestos, plasterboard, paint thinners, strippers, and solvents, mercury, fluorescent bulbs, and aerosol cans. These materials need to be disposed of according to strict state and federal laws, and there are harsh fines and punishments for non-compliance. A waste management company in Atlanta can help you comply with city, county, and state guidelines, as well as with your insurance requirements for the safe disposal of hazardous waste.
