What is construction waste?
Construction waste is considered to be any waste generated from new building construction, refurbishment or demolition of existing structures, which is neither biodegradable nor toxic.
Typical construction waste items include stone, bricks, blocks, concrete, metals, wood or timber, and inert soils and sand.
Construction waste may also contain items that can be segregated for recycling, such as plastics, glass and metals; as well as items that are classified as hazardous. Examples of hazardous construction waste include fibrous and cement bonded asbestos, treated wood- and contaminated soils.
Hazardous construction waste will require a separate dedicated collection, ensuring that any hazardous materials are stored safely, securely transported and disposed of at licensed facilities to prevent exposure to both humans and the environment
If you’re looking for advice and guidance for the disposal of hazardous construction waste our expert team is on hand to provide advice and guidance to ensure that you and your business are kept fully compliant with all hazardous waste regulations.
What is bulky waste?
Bulky waste is defined as any waste type that is too large to be stored and collected via a regular waste collection service.
Examples of bulky waste include: unwanted furniture, such as tables, chairs, wardrobes and cupboards, beds and sofas, along with plumbing fixtures, such as bathtubs, shower trays, sinks and toilets.
Bulky waste also covers large items of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), for example, fridges, freezers, ovens, washing machines, TVs and large computer equipment.
These items are classified as hazardous waste, which means they require specialist collection and recycling.
Our expert hazardous waste services team can provide advice and guidance to ensure you and your business are kept fully compliant with all hazardous waste disposal regulations.
What is inert construction waste?
Inert construction waste is waste that is neither biologically or chemically reactive and will not decompose. Examples of inert construction waste include non-contaminated soil, sand and concrete.
When disposing of construction materials it is particularly relevant to establish if it is classified as inert, as inert waste is typically lower in cost to dispose of, especially when compared to biodegradable waste or hazardous waste.
Can I put asbestos in my construction waste?
Asbestos waste should not be stored or disposed of with other construction waste.
The removal of asbestos is a real concern for waste management companies due to the long term health risks associated to the fibres, as it requires safe containment, collection and disposal.
Left undisturbed, asbestos poses no threat to people or the environment, but when moved or damaged, asbestos fibres can be released into the air. When inhaled, over time, they can cause serious diseases, such as asbestosis (a scarring of the lungs), or worse – the fatal cancer mesothelioma.
There are many types of asbestos, but all of them are classified as hazardous waste and there are clear Government regulations on its management and disposal, to protect those handling it. All companies must be assessed and licensed by the HSE (Health and Safety Executive) for its removal.
Those ignoring these regulations face unlimited fines or a prison sentence.
Given the potentially fatal effects from exposure and the strict regulations and penalties surrounding the incorrect removal, handling, transportation and disposal of waste asbestos, it should always be carried out by a waste management company who holds the necessary waste carriers license and disposal permit, as well as having appropriately trained licenced employees to carry out the work.
Our expert hazardous waste services team can advise on the safe handling and disposal of hazardous waste to ensure full compliance with all UK regulations.
