What is Construction & Demolition Waste?
Construction & Demolition (C&D) material is comprised of mixed heavy loads which usually contain a combination of timber, concrete, bricks, tile, rubble, metal, plastics, plasterboard, cardboard and paper.

Where does Construction & Demolition waste go?
SUEZ has a range of skip bins and bulk bins to suit your project needs.
Skip bins are delivered and collected from your site according to your schedule and ensure your waste is properly disposed of while maximising the recovery of recyclable materials.
What happens to Construction & Demolition waste?
All salvaged metals are shipped to specialist external companies for sorting and recycling. The inert fractions are recycled and resupplied to the civil construction market as an alternative to traditional quarried products.
Through our joint venture operation, SUEZ-ResourceCo, we operate dedicated C&D Resource Recovery Facilities where the dry material can be manufactured into Processed Engineered Fuel (PEF) for use as an alternative to traditional fossil fuels.
