After completion of the repair work, construction waste always remains and there is a lot of it, if the repair was major, with redevelopment of partitions, replacement of doors and windows, replacement of pipes, radiators and sanitary ware. So what to do with construction waste after apartment renovation?
What relates to construction waste
After the repair work is completed, you may have:
- fragments of brick, concrete and drywall;
- dry construction and cement bags;
- cans and cylinders after paints, glue, polyurethane foam;
- scraps of wallpaper and broken tiles;
- old window frames and doors;
- glass in any condition;
- trimming pipes and wires;
- suspended ceiling parts;
- pieces of plaster and other waste decoration materials.
This category also includes old broken furniture and various interior elements.
All this garbage can be classified by size as small-, medium- and bulky. In addition, there is a separation of waste depending on the level of damage to the ecological situation and the environment, since the discarded materials may contain salts, alkalis, acids, heavy metals, gas explosive mixtures.
Waste disposal methods after apartment renovation
There are six legal options for disposing of construction waste:
- take out construction waste to a special landfill on your own;
- throw part of the waste into special containers;
- hand over metals and plastics for recycling;
- sell bulk and stone materials for dumping;
- apply for a comprehensive solution to a specialized company;
- agree with the developer on the use of its container.
Each of these methods has its own specifics, which must be taken into account.
Self removal to the landfill
This option is one of the first that comes to mind when deciding on where to take out the construction waste yourself. Many people think that this is a city dump, but they are mistaken. It is forbidden to throw away construction waste at a city landfill, and at a special landfill this service is paid. therefore this is the most complex, time-consuming and expensive method of disposal, and not vice versa, as it may seem.
Special garbage containers
This method of garbage removal after apartment renovation is cheaper and easier, but not all yards have tanks for collecting glass, plastic and paper. Therefore, you should find an equipped site and dump a certain part of the waste there.
Recycling points
In this case, you can not only not spend money, but even make money on recycling. However, valuable recycled materials include only those that can be processed and sorted by this criterion. This is, first of all:
- ferrous and non-ferrous metals;
- grades of polyethylene, polypropylene and other plastics;
- metal-plastic pipes and window profiles;
- uncontaminated paper and cardboard;
- rubber and rubber.
There are points where you will receive wood waste for processing into wood chips and manufacturing chipboard and other sheet products. The addresses of your city’s collection points can be easily found on the Internet.
Sale of stone and bulk materials
Debris of brick, concrete, ceramic tile, drywall and removed plaster are very popular in construction as a material for filling and filling voids. On average, for these types of waste, buyers offer:
- brick, concrete and tile battle - 150 rubles / m3;
- plaster, gypsum, sand - 110 rubles / m3;
- Bad soil and clay - 50 rubles / m3.
Sometimes you may come across announcements that such construction waste can be taken out for free, but they will take it out of the apartment, load it and take it away with their own transport. Here you need to carefully calculate. Often such offers are quite beneficial.
Specialized companies
The main thing that should be remembered when contacting specialists is the need to conclude an agreement, which states the contractor’s guarantee of the mandatory and legal fulfillment of their obligations.
A specialized company provides loaders for the removal and loading of garbage, own vehicles and has an agreement with a landfill. The range of prices for services is quite large. Therefore, do not be lazy and browse the network, at least a dozen ads.
In accordance with Government Decision No. 1280 of October 20, 2017, public auctions for the removal of construction waste are held in the Russian Federation. It is on them that prices for the provision of such services are formed.
Contacting the developer
If the total amount of waste is small, then you can go to the construction site to dump garbage into the developer’s container. For a relatively small fee, this is quite possible. Especially in cases where some of the materials have been handed over for recycling.
What to do with the garbage that remains after the construction of a country house
As a result of the construction of an individual building, a large amount of waste remains. However, unlike the repair, in this case the construction waste here includes:
- fragments of brick, blocks, and other stone materials;
- trimming drywall, flooring, roofing materials, ceramic tiles, sheet iron;
- pieces of plastic and metal pipes;
- pieces of boards, timber and lining;
- various containers and packaging materials.
First of all, all solid and loose materials can be used to fill underground voids, to fill the blind area, parking area and access roads. With the rest of the waste, do the same as recommended when repairing an apartment.
Legal grounds and conditions for disposal
Sanitary Rules and Norms prescribe the removal of all garbage remaining after repairs or construction only in specially designated areas. Non-recyclable waste must be delivered to a special landfill for subsequent disposal and disposal. Therefore, you just won’t succeed in simply hiring any car and taking construction waste to the city landfill. Now it is strictly forbidden. The current rules for the disposal of construction residues and debris are clearly spelled out in Federal Law No. 89-FZ.
After the adoption of a number of legislative acts, all residents of apartment buildings and owners of private houses were obliged to sign agreements on the export of any solid waste. They indicate where to throw construction waste and that such services can only be provided by a specialized company that has received permission and obtained a license.
The owner of the apartment needs to contact his Management Company and find out if she has an agreement on the removal of construction residues and with whom. If such an agreement is not concluded, then you will have to search for the performer yourself. It should have a staff of workers, appropriate transport vehicles, containers for storing and storing residues, a package of permits. If you have an agreement, simply decide on the time of supply of equipped vehicles and the execution of work.
Penalties for improper disposal
The amount of administrative penalties in case of dumping of construction waste in the wrong places is determined by Article 8.1 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation. It says that individuals can be fined up to 2000 rubles. with obligatory garbage collection at strictly specified dates. For the same violation, legal entities may be fined up to 100 thousand rubles.
