As you plan your remodeling project, waste management is an often overlooked yet essential factor. You’ll create considerable waste during your demolition phase, and you have a few options for getting rid of it. You will make the most of that waste and get it off your job site quickly with any of the waste removal options below.

Waste Removal Options During a Remodel

1. Repurpose It

Because new materials make up a significant portion of your remodeling budget, you should reuse whatever materials possible. For example, you can reuse the lumber from your old wood-framed walls as spaces or fire blocking. If you’re creative, you can use scrap metal or old tile in decor projects.

2. Donate It

If you’re not going to use your usable old materials, let them go to a worthy cause. Choose a local nonprofit that needs items. Organizations such as The Salvation Army may even come by your property with a truck to pick up everything you donate. You won’t need to arrange transportation, and you’ll receive a receipt to use as a tax write-off.

3. Recycle It

Before taking your waste removal to a landfill, separate everything that you can recycle. Many recycling centers will accept items such as scrap metal, appliances, and lumber. Doing so is an environmentally responsible way to handle your construction waste because it keeps those reusable items out of landfills and reduces the impact of creating new materials.
