Construction sites produce a large number of wastes and debris. This construction debris is dangerous for human health as well. Some of these wastes are generated during the construction activities.
There are two types of waste, i.e., non-hazardous and hazardous waste. The non-hazardous waste on construction sites can be bricks, stones, wood, concrete, etc. whereas the hazardous waste materials can be lead, asbestos, plasterboard, etc.
The construction debris causes a problem for cleaning up construction sites as there are very little landfill space available. These landfills are filling up at a very fast rate, and many of them have closed due to their full capacity.
Construction debris can be cleaned via the recycling process. In the recycling process, the construction debris is separated by their specific groups such as aluminum, steel, wood, solid wastes, hazardous wastes, oil products, pesticides, fertilizers, detergents, etc.
After making the groups these wastes are transported to the recycling sites. By recycling construction debris, this can help to the reduce landfill waste. Some of the wastes that can be recycled are aluminum, wood, concrete, etc.
Another way to clean up construction debris is by reusing them, especially junks left from a demolition project, such as door frames, gates, window frames, etc. These materials can be reused for some other purpose.
Here are some more points that you should consider while disposing of the construction debris.
- Storage areas and containers must be examined for leakage and other problems.
- Workers should be experts in handling and disposing of these materials.
- Workers should know how to secure themselves when doing so.
Remember these points to manage construction site cleanup properly.
