Our
Construction Waste Bins
Good construction waste management practices begin on-site. Every area of your site should have the right bin in the right place – although we also offer construction waste sacks. Dedicate bins for different types of building rubbish, and make sure everyone knows the system.
We can help you create a robust, logical construction waste management process with expert advice and the provision of strong, sturdy bins. As long as your site can be accessed by our commercial refuse vehicles, we can deliver and collect bins and sacks in a range of shapes and sizes.

Recycling Solutions
Here at Urbin, we take our responsibility towards protecting the environment very seriously. Construction waste is some of the most problematic to dispose of, but you can rely on our dedicated professionals to complete the job ethically on your behalf.
We strive to ensure our construction waste disposal services don’t result in any waste ending up in landfill. That’s why we partner with construction waste recycling experts. We have the vehicles and technologies needed to ensure the following types of waste from building sites never find their way into the ground.
Inert Waste
Inert waste includes materials such as bricks, concrete, soil, and stones. Many inert materials can be crushed to create aggregate materials for concrete or asphalt.
Plasterboard
A lot of plasterboard can be recycled to make new plasterboard products – potentially cutting your costs.
Cardboard and Paper
Common recyclables such as paper and cardboard can be reconstituted to make more paper and cardboard or shredded to create insulation and animal bedding.
Metal Waste
A lot of scrap materials wasted on building sites or generated on demolition sites can be recycled fairly easily. And there’s often money to be made.
Plastics
Certain types of plastic packaging and bottles can be recycled to produce new plastic.
Glass
Waste glass can be crushed and repurposed to make new products or form the basis for aggregates, insulation and other common building materials.
Wood Waste
This includes excess and unusable wood that can be repurposed to produce landscaping pellets, garden mulch, chipboard, animal bedding and fuel.

Waste Management Process
Ordering construction bins and sacks, arranging delivery, and requesting collections couldn’t be easier or faster, thanks to our simple and efficient process.
We can work with you to tailor a solution according to your specific needs. We understand how hectic and hazardous the average building site can be, which is why we’ve developed a four-stage process that can be adapted to your specific needs with a tweak or two.
Choose Your Construction Bins or Sacks
We’ve developed a simple yet effective process that begins by placing an order for your bins or sacks.
Tell us about the exact type and mix of building or demolition waste you’re generating. We also need to know whether you need bins, sacks or a combination of both. Next, choose the appropriate sizes to ensure you have the necessary storage capacity on your site until we arrive.
Choose a Delivery Location and Time
We try to keep our construction waste management services as flexible and frequent as possible, as we know debris and mess can be dangerous in these environments. Once you’ve selected the type, size, and number of waste collection receptacles you require, just tell us where and when you’d like us to position your bins or sacks. We’ll make recommendations if we think there are better places on your site for waste storage.
To ensure everything goes smoothly when we drop off your bins, we’ll need to know about any issues that might affect access, including code-accessed gates, restricted areas, opening times, health and safety procedures, and restricted personnel rules. Once we have everything we need, all you need to do is wait for your bins or sacks to arrive.
Gather Your Construction Rubbish
We understand that building site rubbish accumulates quickly yet erratically. So keep filling your bins or sacks as you go about your daily duties.
Remember to stick within any agreed weight limits, and don’t fill the receptacles with unapproved or inappropriate rubbish, including caustic substances.
Request a Collection
When you’re ready for us to collect your construction waste, give us a call or request a collection online.
Construction Waste
Explained
So, what is construction waste? The short answer is that it’s anything generated or not used that needs to be collected and disposed of. The nature of what we collect at Urbin depends on the nature of the building or demolition site in question.
Collection of Inert Waste from Construction Sites
We pick up and dispose of materials such as concrete, asphalt, bricks, stones, and soil. Predominantly generated from construction, demolition, and excavation activities, these materials do not undergo chemical or biological reactions and remain stable over time. Due to their non-decomposable nature, they are unsuitable for landfill disposal.
Collection of General Waste from Construction Sites
General waste includes materials that are not harmful to human health or the environment. Common examples include recyclable plastics, glass, and metals. These materials can often be repurposed or recycled, minimising their environmental impact.
Collection of Hazardous Waste from Construction Sites
The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, the COSHH Regulations, and the Control of Lead at Work Regulations (2002) outline the kind of waste materials that are legally defined as hazardous. Specialised handling is crucial for these types of waste to ensure safety and compliance.
We can also remove the following types of waste from demolition sites:
- Insulation
- Cement
- Adhesives
- Wood
- Packaging
- Bricks
- Soil and stones
- Tars
- Decorative materials
- Gypsum
Why You Need a Reliable
Construction Waste Management Provider
Construction sites are already relatively dangerous places, but the risks of trips, falls, and injuries increase when waste and debris are left lying around. There’s also the issue of pollution to take into account – whether that’s involving the air or potentially hazardous substances leaking into the ground.
The Waste Regulations 2011 ACT makes it a legal requirement for building companies to dispose of construction site waste quickly, safely, and responsibly. To ensure you’re complying with your obligations, the law requires that a waste transfer note is completed every time rubbish and waste materials leave your site.
Other reasons why construction waste collection services are essential include:
Your Business Reputation
If you have a reputation for messy and potentially dangerous construction sites, prospective clients may be put off and look elsewhere. These issues aren’t just cosmetic, they have the potential to put lives at risk. If potential clients think you have a relaxed attitude about safety, they’ll be very reluctant to enlist your services.
Health and Safety Regulations
As well as the regulations listed in The Waste Regulations 2011 Act, your business has a range of obligations with regard to general health and safety. Avoid hefty fines, protect your tradespeople, and ensure the work is completed to a high standard by appointing a construction waste collection company today!
Cutting Costs
By reusing or selling building waste, you can slash your overheads and become more profitable. In addition, you can avoid the landfill tax by ensuring all your building waste is either recycled or disposed of ethically. We can help you create a construction waste process that enhances the profitability of your entire operation.
Top Tips for
Minimising Construction Waste
Managing waste from construction and demolition sites starts with you and your team. We can provide efficient, legally compliant construction waste collection services, but organising and storing rubbish on-site is crucial. To help you do just that, here are a few simple tips:
- Order the precise amount of materials needed for the project to avoid excess waste
- Incorporate waste reduction into the design phase by planning for standard sizes and reducing offcuts
- Implement a system for segregating materials on-site to identify those that can be reused or recycled
- Donate surplus materials that are still in good condition to organizations that can use them
- Store materials properly to prevent damage and reduce the need for replacement
- Provide clearly labelled recycling bins for common construction materials such as metal, plastic, and wood
- Educate workers on the importance of waste reduction and proper waste management practices
- Conduct regular waste audits to track progress and identify areas for improvement
