Construction projects generate a wide range of waste materials, from concrete, timber and metals to packaging and hazardous waste. Effective construction waste management helps businesses remain compliant, reduce disposal costs and increase recycling rates while supporting sustainability targets.

Whether you are managing a refurbishment project, commercial development or demolition site, Agecko can develop a tailored waste management solution designed around your operations and environmental objectives.

Not sure what waste services your project needs? We can carry out a comprehensive waste audit and develop a tailored waste management plan for your construction site. We account for every factor, too, from specific sustainability goals to your site schedule.

Key Waste Streams in the Construction Sector

Construction sites produce a wide variety of waste materials—some recyclable, some hazardous—all of which must be handled in line with strict regulations.

Common waste types include:

  • Inert waste (bricks, concrete, rubble, tiles)
  • Timber and wood waste
  • Metal waste
  • Packaging waste – pallets, shrink wrap, polystyrene
  • Plasterboard ( this MUST be kept separate for compliance)
  • Hazardous waste (asbestos, paints, adhesives, and solvents)
  • WEEE waste – (lighting, faulty tools, and outdated electronics)
  • General waste – (non-recyclables from worker areas)

Whether you’re managing a small-scale refurbishment or a large commercial build, a tailored waste solution will keep your site safe, legal and sustainable.
