The recycle sign with the green arrows chasing each other in a circle is something you will see at most construction sites. Is just a token gesture or are construction companies really committed to reducing and recycling? From the sight of overflowing dumpsters at most construction sites, the answer may not be what we are expecting.
While large waste volume means increased business for construction dumpster rental companies, it definitely is not something we can ignore, and this was brought to our attention by a group of people who claimed to be conducting a survey regarding environmental responsibility within the construction industry.
There are probably very thick recycling manuals sitting somewhere on the desks of all chief. These manuals most definitely will contain a chapter or perhaps more than one chapter devoted to the economic benefits of recycling. However, it is debatable how many people working in construction have read the pages in the manual.
It would not be surprising to find out that the recycle manual is gathering dust in a corner, taken out and referred to once in a while during one a periodic health, safety and environment meeting. How can we find out how much of the waste produced at construction sites is unavoidable and how much of it is due to negligence? This challenging question was examined recently by an unnamed environmental group.
Representatives from this green outfit tried to visit several construction sites in New Jersey to examine the various materials that were being disposed of in construction dumpsters. This was not an easy task because construction sites are very strict about safety regulations.
As an alternative, the environmental group contacted dumpster rental companies in New Jersey to find out more in regards to the contents within roll off dumpster at construction sites . The environmental company concluded that there is much room for increased recycling of materials on construction sites, but due to lack of time and job site space constraints, recylcling is simply not always a top priority.
