A Typical Waste Resulting From Home Renovation Projects

The amount of waste created by home renovations can vary depending on the type of property involved and the extent of the work. These are some of the most common waste materials that can be generated:

• Plywood, boards and pallets are all available.
• Timber from floorboards and wall panelling stripped, furniture, doors, skirting boards and window frames.
• Timber taken from sheds, fences and other garden materials.
• Ceramics such as porcelain or stoneware. This includes roofing tiles, floor tiles and sinks.
• Glass and mirrors
• Carpets.
• Concrete, asphalt, or roof shingles.
• Brickwork, drywall and masonry.
• Various metals.
• Excavated soil and rubble
• Donate your old tools and materials.

What is the Best Way to Dispose Your Renovation Waste?

You will have waste regardless of how large or small the project. You will need a plan for waste management, no matter how small or large your project.

Talk to a Contractor

It is worthwhile to ask about waste when discussing a quote with a tradesman. The project you are working on will determine the extent of your responsibility. However, government guidelines state that construction is considered “business or commercial waste”. This falls largely under the contractor’s responsibility. Talking with tradesmen early is best so there aren’t any misunderstandings or ambiguities that could lead to you having a pile of rubbish on your property.

Skip Hire or Dumpster Rental

A skip rental or dumpster rental service is the most efficient and popular way to dispose of waste during home renovations. A junk container is delivered to your home and collected by the company after the project is completed. To determine the correct size, you and the company will have to discuss your project at the beginning. It is best to have a skip that is not too large. Otherwise, it will be difficult to collect the waste.

A skip hire is a great option for waste removal.

• A skip can be used to dispose of rubbish and other waste during a project. This will save you space and help prevent clutter.
• It can be tiring and time-consuming to clean up construction materials, especially when you are working on larger projects. A professional service can save you so much stress.
• Skip-hire companies are usually very eco-friendly. An experienced service will make sure that all waste is properly disposed of, and not just dumped in a landfill. You can rest assured that recyclable materials will be recycled and that hazardous materials will be disposed of properly.
• Skip hire is a cost-effective option due to its convenience. Many will offer you multiple payment options and a low rate.

Consider Hazardous Waste

The majority of home renovation waste can be placed in a skip. This includes brickwork, soil, fabrics and plastics. Some materials, however, cannot be accepted by skip hire companies, including electrical items, asbestos and liquids, chemicals, or other dangerous materials. When you contact a skip rental company, it is important to ask what can and cannot go in their skips. They will likely give you advice on how to dispose of waste that isn’t suitable.
