Waste Management for Construction Companies

Construction waste changes as a project moves through its phases. Early works produce soil, hardcore and broken concrete; the build phase generates timber offcuts, packaging and mixed materials; fit-out brings plasterboard, cardboard and bulky packaging. Each stream has different weight, segregation and disposal requirements.

Space is usually tight, access routes change week to week, and a full skip that is not exchanged on time can hold up trades. Mud on the public highway, overweight containers and mixed loads that should have been segregated all add cost and risk.

We coordinate the equipment that suits each stage, rather than defaulting to one container type:

• Construction skip hire and builders’ skips for mixed and heavy site waste
• Roll-on roll-off containers for high-volume, lighter waste where there is room for a hook-loader
• Grab lorries and 8-wheel tippers for soil, spoil and muck-away
• Operated road sweepers to keep site entrances and highways clean
• Aggregate delivery for sub-base, sand and stone
• Specialist collections for plasterboard, hazardous waste and asbestos through licensed specialists

Many contractors run projects in different towns at the same time. Rather than managing a separate supplier relationship for each area, you deal with one operational team who books local providers in our network, coordinates deliveries, exchanges and collections, and keeps every job visible in WastePrime.

For ongoing or larger programmes, a national account gives you consolidated job history and documentation across all your sites.

Duty of care applies to every load leaving site. We arrange services through suppliers whose waste carrier registrations and permits are checked in WastePrime, and waste transfer notes are provided for each collection. Hazardous waste is moved under consignment notes in England and Wales, or special waste consignment notes in Scotland, through appropriately licensed specialists.
