Regular Rubbish Removal on a Building Site is Important: Here’s Why

Construction waste is one of the most common types of rubbish found in Sydney, and the rest of Australia. Thanks to our enormous building industry, there are millions of tons of timber, plastic, metal, rubble, and more to deal with every single year.

In fact, in 2019 we produced more than 27 million tons of construction waste. This figure made up about 44% of all waste produced throughout Australia! Unfortunately, this timber, metal, plastic, rubble and more, is not recycled as it should be, but that’s a different story.

Below, we’ll take a look at why you should organise regular construction rubbish removal on your Sydney building site.

Health and Safety

Health and safety is probably the most important thing to consider on every building project. There are so many hazards on even the smallest construction site, so plenty of attention is required to ensure a safe working environment for all.

Rubbish and debris are some of the most common hazards on any construction project. Loose bits of plastic, timber offcuts, spills and stains are the main causes of trip and fall incidents and injuries. Therefore, good waste management is absolutely critical for health and safety on any building site in Sydney.

Keep walkways clear

Walkways must be unobstructed on a building site, so that workers can perform their duties in a safe manner. If there are errant pieces of timber, piping, rubble or something else strewn across walkways, workers can easily trip, fall and injure themselves. That is simply unacceptable on a building site.

Avoid items dropping from height

Sometimes, waste may pile up on upper floors of a high-rise construction site. This presents added risk, because these items can fall from height and cause serious injury to people working on-site, or even passers by.

Removing this waste on a regular basis will ensure that the risk of injury is greatly reduced, creating a safer working environment for your people. What’s more, people passing by will also be free from hazards.

Maintain a pristine project site

Keeping your job site orderly is important for health and safety, but there are plenty of other benefits that come from a visually pleasing and clean site. That includes appearance based benefits, and increased efficiency on site.

Appearances

A well-maintained building site is always a must because it exudes control and confidence. Your client will want to see that everything is under control, including waste management. When there’s no waste to see at all, they’ll be pleasantly surprised! This builds confidence in you and your company, potentially leading to further contracts and stronger relationships.

Efficiency

A clean workplace is a more efficient workplace, and this ethos applies to all kinds of working environments, from offices to building sites. Waste can get in the way, obstruct walkways and fill areas that should be utilised for other things. On the other hand, a well organised site with clear walkways makes life easier for everyone.

It’s easier!

Collecting waste from a building site each week or even daily is much easier than tackling huge piles of trash at the end of a job. It also makes it much easier to identify different waste types, and thereby ensure that they are correctly disposed of, recycled, or reused. On the other hand, sifting through piles of refuse that have been permitted to build up over a few weeks will take far too long.

Save on space

Piles of waste will take up space, and on many building sites, space is at an absolute premium. You need space to store materials, vehicles and machinery, and to provide access for people and vehicles. Therefore, it’s critical that you establish regular Sydney building waste removal on your site.

Skip bins also take up plenty of space, especially if you have multiple bins on site. On the other hands, regular building waste removal with a truck prevents the need for skip bins, and will also ensure rubbish doesn’t accumulate.
