Construction and demolition (C&D) waste is taken to licensed recycling facility and sorted to remove the larger recyclable waste fractions (wood, metals, bricks, hardcore etc) and to remove the non-recyclable elements for disposal to landfill. The remaining waste is then screened to remove final smaller waste fractions (fines) and to capture the remaining recycled hardcore.
Each business is responsible for the waste it creates, so if you’re involved with a construction or demolition project, it will be your businesses legal responsibility to remove any and all waste you generate during the process.
