As your renovation project draws to a close, you’ll likely end up with piles of unused materials and debris around the construction site. The process of removing this debris can be labor-intensive and quite time-consuming. Streamline the cleanup process with this helpful guide to the different options for debris removal in construction sites.
Donate it
Depending on the scope of your renovation project you may find yourself with an excess of unused building materials. While you could save these materials and use them for another renovation project, you can also donate them. There are many organizations, such as Habitat for Humanity, that will accept most donated building materials, as long as they are in good condition. You can donate unused lumber, bricks, flooring, and fencing, as well as doors, windows, and cabinetry. Other home renovation hopefuls can buy these materials to use in their own remodels. People can also use these materials to build homes for individuals in need. Donating your unused building materials helps other builders with their renovation projects and reduces the amount of debris that will end up in a landfill.
Dump it
Perhaps the most common and hassle-free option for debris removal in construction sites is to rent a dumpster and dispose of debris in that way. Most renovation projects generate a significant amount of waste. As such, multiple trips to a waste management center to dispose of the debris can cost you a lot of time and money. Renting a large dumpster makes for easier disposal of garbage and debris and requires minimal effort regarding the removal of the dumpster. After your renovation, the rental company will remove the dumpster from your property. You will no longer need to make many trips to the waste management facility yourself. When choosing to dump your debris, consider the scope of the intended work, as it will directly influence the size of the dumpster you should rent. The larger the renovation project, the more debris you’ll have, so be sure to choose a dumpster that can accommodate this.
Recycle it
When considering which items you can and can’t dispose of in a dumpster, you should also consider which items you can recycle. It may come as a surprise, but you can easily recycle or repurpose many building materials. People can recycle masonry, metal, and cardboard for use in other industries, as well as paper and some plastic products. Be sure to check with a local waste management company first to see which items are safe to recycle.
