Concrete waste disposal for construction sites
We arrange storage and collection for concrete generated during demolition, groundworks, refurbishment, strip-outs and other construction activity.
The right setup depends on the amount of concrete, how dense the material is, available site space and collection-vehicle access. Concrete is dense, so container volume and permitted collection weight are separate considerations. A large container may reach its weight limit before it is full. We’ll confirm the most suitable container for your needs.
Clean concrete should normally be kept separate from timber, plasterboard, general waste and hazardous materials where possible, as this can improve the available recycling route. Clean waste concrete is normally non-hazardous and uses waste code 17 01 01. Concrete or mixtures contaminated with hazardous substances may instead require hazardous classification and a different collection route.
If concrete is attached to or contaminated with suspected asbestos-containing material, do not place it into a standard concrete collection. Tell us before booking so the waste can be assessed separately.
Tell us whether the waste is clean concrete, reinforced concrete or mixed with other materials when requesting a quote. If your site has any restricted entrances, overhead obstructions or limited vehicle access, ensure you detail this to our team.
Concrete recycling
Clean, segregated concrete can often be crushed and processed into recycled aggregate for construction and civil-engineering applications.
Keeping concrete clean and separate can increase the likelihood that it is accepted for reuse. We aim to use suitable recycling or recovery routes where they are available for the classified material.
Keeping clean concrete separate can reduce sorting or disposal requirements and may lower the overall collection cost compared with contaminated or mixed loads. Actual pricing depends on the weight, container, location and recycling route.
How can concrete be recycled?
The process of recycling concrete generally follows these stages:
- Concrete is separated from unsuitable materials.
- The waste is collected and taken to an authorised recycling facility.
- Crushers reduce it to smaller sizes.
- Screens and other equipment separate usable aggregate and contaminants.
- Recovered material can be used in suitable construction applications.
