Over the past five years a greater emphasis has been placed on recycling or construction waste. There are a variety of different strategies a construction company can utilize in order to implement an effective recycling program for their waste. The key is choosing a solution which is both economically viable and relatively simple. Fortunately, simple accessories can make current construction machinery a huge asset in the recycling process. The first step is deciding between source separation and co-mingled recycling. Source separation means separating different recyclable materials at the job site. This provides higher recycling rates and lower recycling costs. In fact the revenue generated from this practice can actually pay for some materials. As an added bonus it often leads to a cleaner, safer worksite. Unfortunately, there are some drawbacks to consider as well. In order to separate everything on site multiple containers will need to be in place. Plus, workers will need to separate materials as they gather them. In the end, this leads to more complex logistics. The other option is co-mingled recycling. Co-mingled recycling means placing all recyclable materials into a single container which will then transported to a processing facility. The advantage to this approach is only one or two containers will need to be on site, the logistics are simpler, and workers do not need a separate materials as they go. Unfortunately, this typically leads to lower recycling rates significantly higher recycling costs. One way to offset the costs associated with recycling construction waste is utilizing relatively inexpensive accessories to make construction machinery more useful in the recycling process. For example, adding specialty implements excavators allows for all of the prep work to be done on site before the material was shipped off. The most popular construction machinery accessory is essentially an excavator bucket and grapple in one. In order to choose the best strategy for recycling construction waste is important to economically justify it. Unfortunately, recycling is rarely done strictly for environmental reasons. This means it must be justified financially. The easiest way to do this is to plan and identify potential buyers which will make it easy to estimate recycling costs on a material by material basis so that the cost of recycling can be accurately compared to the cost of disposal. Don't forget to add an additional benefits to on-site recycling such as a safer work environment and the ability to use construction machinery to speed up the recycling process and transport materials, thus reducing transportation costs.
