Rubble (construction and demolition waste) consists primarily of stony materials, wood, metal, and plastic. Rubble is created during construction or renovation projects. When collecting rubble, we distinguish between clean and contaminated rubble.
You can offer rubble at one of the recycling centers.
What belongs where?
Clean rubble: to the recycling center
Uncontaminated debris, such as:
- brick
- concrete
- roof tiles
- gate
- vowels
- ceramic material
- masonry
- natural stone
- paving stones
Contaminated rubble: have it removed by a commercial party (company)
- contaminated rubble is mixed with contaminated soil (hazardous waste).
- non-workable rubble are materials such as plasterboard, aerated concrete blocks and sand-lime bricks or rubble that are contaminated with glass or tar.
Reuse
Clean rubble is sieved and reused in road and hydraulic engineering, for example, as paving material under road surfaces and in noise barriers, and in the production of concrete and asphalt. Contaminated rubble is first cleaned. It can then be reused. Materials such as wood and metal are recycled, and used to make new wood and metal products.
