As a business owner in the construction industry, waste management is a key aspect of your daily operations. However, due to the temporary nature of construction and demolition (C&D) work, most businesses simply have a temporary arrangement with a waste hauler, not a service agreement or a robust waste management plan. This may lead to irregular waste hauling and overcharges.
At Waste Control, we understand the importance of effective C&D waste management, and we’re here to help you optimize your waste disposal processes. Let’s take a closer look at the key benefits of working with a trusted partner to handle your construction waste management needs.
Waste Cost Savings
Waste disposal costs can add up quickly since construction sites generate a high volume of waste. Coupling this with the fact that you may not have a defined service agreement with a waste hauler can significantly impact your budget and lead to inefficient waste removal. For a high-impact work like C&D that relies on effective and timely waste removal, this can prove to be a challenge. –
Construction companies often face significant challenges when it comes to ordering waste services across multiple locations. Each city or municipality may have its own regulations and requirements for disposing of different types of waste, which can lead to confusion and inefficiencies. Additionally, working with multiple haulers can be time-consuming and complicated, especially when trying to coordinate services across multiple locations.
When partnering with Waste Control, we’ll help you significantly reduce your waste disposal costs. Our team of waste management experts can identify areas or aspects of your process where you may be wasting resources, as well as suggest more efficient and cost-effective waste disposal solutions.
Waste Control’s one-source solution for waste services can help construction companies streamline their operations and save time and money. By partnering with Waste Control which has a national presence, construction companies can ensure consistent service across all of their locations while also benefiting from economies of scale. This means that they can negotiate better pricing and access a wider range of services than they would be able to if they were working with multiple haulers.
Compliance with Waste Regulations
Environmental regulations surrounding construction waste disposal can be complex and ever-changing. Non-compliance can result in hefty fines, negative publicity, and other legal repercussions – Waste Control can help.
Having a single point of contact for waste services also makes it easier to stay compliant with local regulations. Instead of having to navigate multiple sets of regulations, construction companies can rely on Waste Control to stay up-to-date on the latest requirements and ensure that all waste is disposed of properly.
California is known for having some of the most stringent environmental regulations in the US, particularly in terms of waste management. Construction waste disposal in California is governed by a number of state and local laws, including the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the California Green Building Standards Code (CALGreen), and the California Building Code.
The CEQA requires that all public agencies and local governments in California evaluate the environmental impacts of any proposed construction projects. This includes the potential impact on air and water quality, as well as the amount of waste generated and the methods for managing that waste. Additionally, CALGreen requires all new construction projects in California to meet certain waste reduction targets, with a goal of diverting at least 50% of construction waste from landfills.
The California Building Code also sets standards for the handling, storage, and disposal of construction waste. The code requires that construction waste be sorted and separated into appropriate categories, such as concrete, wood, and metals, to allow for more efficient recycling and disposal. The code also regulates the use of on-site waste management facilities and the transportation of waste to off-site facilities.
In order to comply with these regulations and avoid potential fines and legal consequences, construction firms in California need to implement effective waste management practices. The best way to do this is by partnering with a waste management company well-versed in California environmental regulations. At Waste Control, we have extensive experience in managing construction waste in California and can help ensure that your company remains compliant with all relevant and current regulations.
Environmental Sustainability
According to the World Green Building Council, construction and demolition waste account for nearly 40 percent of all solid waste generated. In the US alone, the construction industry generates an estimated 600 million tons of waste annually. This makes sustainability a critical aspect of any construction waste management strategy.
At Waste Control, we can help you implement sustainable waste management practices. This will help reduce your carbon footprint, preserve natural resources, and protect the environment. As mentioned, California has particularly stringent environmental regulations that impact the construction agency. Waste Control can help you navigate the rules by putting best practices into action. We work to promote environmentally-friendly waste management solutions. By partnering with us, you can rest assured that your waste is being disposed of in the most sustainable way possible.
One way we help boost sustainability is by prioritizing recycling and reuse. Our team will work closely with you to identify recyclable materials, such as concrete, wood, and metal, and develop a plan to ensure that these materials are diverted from landfills and repurposed or recycled, to the fullest extent possible.
