Renovation and Being “Green”
As Carol progresses, there things I have learned that I will pass on so you can “learn from others” and not make the same mistakes.
Construction waste debris is the area that I could handle better on my next project. We filled a 30 cu yard dumpster with debris we cleared from the house. And we still needed another one! You need different dumpsters for construction waste and yard waste. The disposal rates are different also.
The changes I would make going forward are:
- separate the metals, and other recylables (I started doing this later)
- do not cut the landscape waste until you are ready to remove – by doing this you avoid handling it twice
- renting a grinder/chipper and recycling the cut wood as mulch (I did do this however make sure you rent the correct size grinder otherwise it goes very slow)
Renovation requires construction waste disposal
- plan on renting a dumpster at various times during the project renovation
Recycling to use as mulch
