How to recycle building waste
The quantity of waste from building and construction will increase by 15% by 2028 in Virginia, as a result of the construction of many new developments in the state. Furthermore, other projects planned to build the Virginia Beach region of 2030 will also be carried out, which will have the effect of increasing environmental pollution.
Measures to significantly reduce inert waste are therefore currently being studied by the government in order to reduce the pollution of this type of waste generally coming from construction sites, such as rubble, which pollutes more than household waste.
Adapted measures to reduce pollution caused by concrete
Indeed, household waste is handled by the services concerned while inert waste is often buried or incinerated and is therefore not recycled. By 2025, a new plan, which aims to prevent and manage the recycling of construction waste, will be put in place in order to enforce state regulations which will require recycling of various polluting inert materials, whether raw, secondary or energy, up to a regulatory rate of 70% minimum.
Effective recycling solutions for concrete
The main objective of the government of Virginia, which carries out research in order to preserve the environment from pollution caused by this construction material, is to recycle concrete which happens to be the most used construction material, in order to be able to reuse this type of material. This state research and development project aims to provide effective solutions for the reuse of concrete during possible deconstructions in order to avoid destroying this material and improve junk disposal solutions.
The demolition concrete will then be used to make new reusable concrete, but technical, scientific and regulatory constraints make this project complex.
Building professionals directly concerned
In addition, construction professionals feel increasingly concerned by these new ecological measures, because they are looking for new solutions that will allow them to revalue concrete at the end of the life of constructions. A construction waste dumpster or a rubble skip is the ideal means of transport to move this construction waste in order to be able to recycle it, when this possibility becomes effective.
How to rent a dumpster for demolition in Virginia
Renting a dumpster for demolition projects involves several key steps. First of all, assess the size and scope of the demolition to determine the appropriate dumpster size. Next, research local dumpster rental companies in Virginia and compare prices, terms, and availability.
Then contact the chosen company to schedule delivery and pickup dates that align with the demolition timeline. Provide details such as location, desired placement area, and any specific instructions.
Of course make sure that the rental agreement includes clear terms regarding rental duration, weight limits, and any additional fees, as you do not want bad surprises when your credir card gets charged. Prepare the designated area for dumpster placement, ensuring sufficient space and accessibility for delivery and pickup. Last but not least, coordinate with the container rental company for the timely removal of the dumpster once your demolition project is complete, adhering to any local disposal regulations or recycling requirements in your state, the laws of Virginia.
