Try out these suggestions for recycling your construction waste.

With approximately one third of the nation’s waste coming from construction projects, it’s more important than ever that construction managers take steps to reduce the amount of waste they produce.  One way to cut down on waste, is by recycling leftover construction materials as much as possible.  If you are involved in commercial construction in the Bay Area, try out these tips to encourage recycling at your site.

Incorporate Waste into New Projects

The most efficient way to recycle construction waste is by integrating it into a new building site.  For instance, leftover materials can be saved for new projects and the debris from demolition projects can often be salvaged and repurposed in a new construction project.

Locate Your Local Recycling Center

It’s important that you know where your nearest recycling center is located.  You should contact the center and find out what materials they accept and when they are open.  Try to plan for regular trips to the center to avoid bombarding them with a large amount of waste all at once.  Simply depositing your waste materials at a recycling center is an easy way to avoid contributing to a landfill.

Plan Smarter

You should also take steps to reduce the amount of construction waste you produce in the first place.  By carefully planning for your project, you can more accurately estimate the amount of materials you will need to complete the project.  The less leftover supplies you have, the less you will have to worry about recycling.

These are some of the suggestions you should consider to better help you manage your construction waste.  Want your commercial construction in the Bay Area to be handled by the experts?  Then turn to the experienced team at Proforma Construction.  Serving Pleasanton and the surrounding California area, our highly trained and experienced team is ready to make your commercial construction dreams a reality.  Contact us to get started today.
