When tackling a major construction, renovation, or demolition project in Central New Jersey, one of the most important considerations is how to manage and dispose of debris efficiently. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the U.S. generated over 600 million tons of construction and demolition (C&D) debris in 2018 alone—twice the amount of municipal solid waste. Proper disposal is key, and that’s where redbox+ Dumpsters of Central New Jersey comes in.
