You have finished your home renovation project and now your house looks great. The only problem is the giant pile of garbage left over. Instead of attempting to bag it up and hope the garbage man takes it away for you, check out these tips on how to dispose of construction waste.
Rent A Dumpster
Doing this can help you a lot in the long run, but you should rent the dumpster before your construction project begins. Dumpsters, also called “containers”, come in multiple sizes to meet your waste disposal needs. You can have the dumpster dropped off and picked up — waste and all — at your convenience.
Re-use It
As you go through, if there is anything that could be used again, separate it into piles. You can keep it and refinish it if you have a crafty touch, or you could donate it to a resale shop. Some local organizations might also have a use for miscellaneous items that can be broken down. For example, old furniture is often used by gardeners because of the wood frames that can be turned into flower boxes and such.
Recycle It
These days, you can really recycle almost anything, and you are helping the environment when you make the choice to recycle. Styrofoam, for example, takes hundreds of years to break down, which means it just sits there, taking up space. Contrary to popular belief, Styrofoam is recyclable. Wood, insulation, glass, drywall, and other items commonly produced by construction waste are recyclable as well.
Call In The Professionals
If you can’t find a use for it and can’t get it in a dumpster or container, you may consider hiring a professional waste management team to remove your construction waste for you. They will certainly know how to dispose of construction waste.
No matter what you choose, removing waste properly is an important aspect of your construction project. TalkLocal can connect you with the professionals in your area who can help you with any of the above options and more.
