Construction Dusts

Following significant changes in the construction industry on the management of construction dusts (including silica dust) there has been an increase in disposal of construction dust in our construction and demolition waste skips. This often comes in the form of bags of dust from dust extraction systems or vacuums. These construction dust waste bags are likely to have very high levels of crystalline silica which poses a significant health risk to our workers who may be exposed to silica-containing materials during the transport, sorting, processing and recycling of the bin contents.


To prioritize the safety and well-being of our workers, we kindly request that you refrain from disposing of any construction dusts, including silica dust, in our construction and demolition waste bins. We have developed a construction dust disposal solution to minimise our workers exposure to potentially harmful construction dusts.

 

We are able to offer the following solutions for disposal of these wastes:

  • This bin will be delivered to your site and clearly marked as a “Dust Waste Only” bin

  • The bin is to be lined by yourself with sufficient 200um plastic to allow plastic to be folded over and sealed at a height equal to or lower than the rim of the bin.

  • Any bags of construction dust (including silica dust) are to be deposited into the Construction Dust Bin only and not in any construction and demolition waste bins.

  • Once the bin is ready for collection please contact the office and request for a pick up or changeover of a construction dust bin

  • The driver will then collect or changeover the bin and the contents will be disposed of at a facility licensed to receive the waste

  • This bin will be invoiced as a delivery fee plus a fixed disposal charge
