Construction Waste Management And Recycling
The construction industry is a very waste-intensive industry producing waste at every stage of the construction process. Starting with extracting raw materials, manufacturing, transportation, construction, and finally disposing of general and hazardous waste.
As there is such a wide variety of waste produced in construction it is very important not only from an environmental point of view but commercially to have a robust waste management plan in place. Given the amount of waste produced there is a call to move from waste disposal to waste management. This plan needs to be in place at the very start of your project to ensure everyone is on board at every stage.
Managing this process efficiently saves time and money. GWR Waste Management works with construction companies across the country to determine the best way to reduce and manage any waste. Our industry-specific experience means we can create a solution tailored to your businesses.
Common Types Of Construction Waste
The types of construction waste are varied but can be broadly classified in 3 categories
- Inert Waste, this is the waste that does not decompose, such as concrete, stone, soil, sand etc
- Non-hazardous waste, such as plastic, glass and metal
- Hazardous waste, such as chemicals, paints etc.
What Is Construction Waste?
Construction waste is varied and a huge issue for the industry. So much construction waste ends up in landfill unnecessarily and with some careful planning you can not only minimise the cost of your waste management you can limit damage to the environment by not contributing to the ever worsening landfill problem.
With everything from concrete, sand, cement, metal, plastic, glass to paint and chemicals it is no wonder waste management plays a huge role in the construction industry. Effective waste management can be a major contributor to company profitability.

- Sourcing, using suppliers who can take back waste and work in a sustainable way can reduce your waste output.
- Separating, providing separate recycling containers for different types of waste, such as plastic, cardboard, glass, metal, wood etc will prevent it being placed in the general skip.
