Properly disposing of unused concrete from construction projects is both difficult and expensive. In 2018, the Environmental Protection Agency reported that 600 million tons of construction and demolition waste debris were generated in the U.S., with these materials taking up 50% of landfills. By not disposing of or recycling properly, air space becomes limited leading to higher costs for landfill maintenance; thus it’s essential that you consider appropriate options when removing concrete materials from your construction or job site.
How to Recycle Concrete
Recycling concrete requires you to break it into smaller, manageable pieces. For this task, a sledgehammer is ideal; however be sure that you are wearing protective gear such as safety glasses and ear plugs, along with thick pants and a long-sleeved shirt for added protection. Moving the material will require a truck or other vehicle capable of hauling away the chunks – remember not to overload your transportation system so as to avoid damages!
After you have the concrete demolished and loaded, it is time to locate a dumpster that accepts concrete near your area. Please be aware though – not all firms accept this kind of waste material; thus confirm with your provider before making any commitments. Generally speaking, most landfills charge approximately $20 per ton but also may require an additional “gate” fee for entry into their landfill.
