Where to dispose of construction waste and how to do it right — key tips.
Construction Waste… Into the Containers
There are thousands of cities in our country. In each city – hundreds of enterprises, various plants, and residential buildings. It can be a large production plant, a small private company, an educational institution, or just an ordinary apartment building with typical residents. Now imagine how much production and household waste is generated daily by each individual building. Even if we forget about businesses and only consider residential buildings. In addition to daily wrappers and packaging, there is often bulky trash – unwanted old furniture or, even worse, construction waste (remodeling or renovation – an almost continuous process). Where should construction waste go? Dumping it in containers near the house is not desirable. So how can we ensure the removal and disposal of large amounts of waste?But this is not the main problem in cities. Everyone likes cleanliness, but not every resident is ready to support the “Clean Streets” initiative. Yet everyone understands that most garbage, especially household waste, emits unpleasant odors carried by the wind into homes. And vapors from large waste accumulations harm the environment.
To keep your business, neighborhood, city, and the whole country clean and attractive, it's important to make sure that daily trash piles don’t accumulate, but are removed and processed. The sooner waste is removed, the cleaner our cities will be, and the fewer toxic substances will enter the air we breathe.
Today, waste is removed using special equipment and containers. In many courtyards, you can see them overflowing. Waste removal from city courtyards is the responsibility of municipal services and waste management companies. However, we can't rely on municipal services alone. The waste burden increases daily, and often they simply can’t cope. In such cases, it’s better not to wait. It’s easier to take advantage of waste removal services provided by private companies. This is especially relevant for residents doing renovations.
But the issue is not only in waste removal, but also in disposal. If we just remove waste in containers, the city outskirts will become polluted – which means that such a measure is not enough. Old waste processing technologies allow recycling only 10% of the total waste volume, but the introduction of new technologies can increase this to 70%. But what about the rest? In other countries, special programs have long been in place to ensure not only container-based waste removal but also recycling. In our country, such programs do not yet exist due to lack of equipment and funding, so waste removed by containers is simply destroyed.
