What is Construction Waste?

Construction waste refers to any building materials and solid wastes extracted from repair operations, renovations, remodeling or construction of a new structure. When combined with demolition waste, it is often described as construction and demolition waste. Some types of construction waste can be recycled while others need to be disposed of appropriately, as they tend to be hazardous. Identification and classification of construction waste is important as it reduces pollution and risk of injury.
