Waste Management Solutions to Comply With EPA and Councils’ Regulations
To meet the increasing need for improved waste management solutions and recycling, the focus has shifted from the traditional approach of picking up waste and disposing of it in landfills, to effective waste management services and improving recycling infrastructure. A large portion of construction waste can be recycled, which is considered fairly clean. Bricks can be blended with other materials like timber and concrete, or crushed and used as a filling material. Crushed concrete aggregate can be used as a replacement for natural aggregate in new concrete. Ferrous material can be recycled by a professional recycling facility almost completely, and multiple times. Plastic can be easily recycled if it is collected separately and cleaned. After being cleaned, de-nailed, and sized, timber from construction and demolition (C&D) activities can also be used in other construction projects.
Inappropriate disposal of waste causes health and environmental risks
Operating a business unit in Australia presents the ongoing task of maintaining a clean workplace to ensure maximum performance. Due to the production of single-use products without giving reuse any consideration, waste disposal is a major problem for both individuals and companies as well as for entire industries. Everyday household products that are harmful include insecticides, gardening chemicals, batteries, cleaning and polishing agents, and more. When this waste is frequently disposed of improperly, it greatly raises the risk to human health and the environment.
Most landfills in Australia lack proper on-site waste management services which results in increased leachate. Leachate is the liquid that breaks down in a landfill and may eventually contaminate groundwater. Food waste at the landfill releases methane gas, a greenhouse gas which is 25 times more potent than carbon dioxide. When waste is burnt, toxic gases and materials are released into the environment, making it abundantly clear that this is not the best technique for waste disposal.
Using professional waste management services, you can dispose of waste in a compliant manner, while minimising its impact on the environment.
