Preventing and eliminating waste on the jobsite reduces both your disposal and new materials costs. These are two important areas that shouldn’t be overlooked as they effect your bottom line!
Prevention begins at the initial stages of the project when it is essential to talk with both the client and the designer to choose the appropriate building materials. At this time waste management strategies and goals for the job site can be established and detailed.
A few of the basic strategies include: working with suppliers who buy back unused materials at the close of the project, requesting that materials be delivered in reusable containers, ensure that storage practices keep materials safe from damage and adverse weather conditions, purchasing pre-owned, high quality materials or materials that come with minimal packaging, and not over-ordering amounts to materials that cannot be returned.
