When you have finally reached the point where you long awaited renovation project is going to go full steam ahead, it is hard to focus on the debris from the project, but focus you must. It is no longer good enough to simply call for a dumpster in Hartford CT and toss everything in it.
It has been estimated that close to 140 million tons of construction waste went into landfills in 2008; that tonnage represents almost 30% of the total amount of solid waste generated in the country on an annual basis. The dumping of construction debris and waste is doing more than filling landfills faster than they can be opened; the toxic waste that is being dumped is poisoning the earth and its water table.
The good news is, people are finally taking these numbers into account and rather than fill a dumpster in Hartford CT and drag it off to be dumped, people are beginning to realize the benefits of de-construction.
De-construction is done by crews are trained to take a building down and save everything that can be reused or recycled. Instead of heading to a landfill, this material either ends up becoming a new version of itself, or it is sold as it is; back into circulation. Although the process is more expensive than just hitting the place hard with a wrecking ball, people are considering the benefits that will accrue over time. There are actually cost benefits attached to de-construction.
Green demolition
When green demolition is conducted, it is estimated that a full 80% of the material that used to end up in a dumpster in Hartford CT, and from there to the landfill, are now finding new homes. The average cost to demolish a building using de-construction is around $10,000. The additional cost is labor, but with the material that is now available for sale to recyclers and the tax credits that are applicable for environmental awareness, it tends to level out.
For new construction that wishes certification from the U.S. Green Building Council, at least half of the construction waste, including previous demolition to make way for the new building, must be recycled and kept out of landfills.
Every state has set its own rules; in CT, cardboard and steel, both valuable recyclables must be kept out of construction waste. On site separation takes place when a dumpster in Hartford CT for each recyclable sits on site. With on site separation, the dumpsters can be loaded onto trucks and taken directly to the recycling facility.

When mixed scrap is in one dumpster, the separation takes place in a dedicated facility.
