Save Money and the Environment by Reducing Construction Site WasteBYHYU 180
Did you know that the average home build produces\xa0about 8,000 pounds of waste? \xa0 And with increasing landfill and building material costs, reducing job site waste could both help the environment and save you a significant amount of money.\xa0 The less you have to throw away, the less money you have to spend getting rid of your construction waste.
When renting a dumpster for a construction site, you\u2019re charged based on the size dumpster.\xa0 The more waste you accumulate, the larger and more expensive the dumpster you\u2019ll need. In addition, the weight of the debris will also have some bearing on waste management fees.
This is an unexpected line item that ideally we want to avoid. \xa0 In this week\u2019s episode, I\u2019ll give you some quick tips on how to reduce job site waste so those overage fees are less likely to occur. Plus we\u2019ll hear from Angela Phillips of ZTERS, the waste management solutions company that I\u2019ve been working with.\xa0 Angela will give us a little more insight into how we can manage our waste more efficiently.
