Hazards That May Arise If Waste Isn’t Cleared Promptly

Mark Luck

Both commercial construction work and DIY renovation projects can result in large quantities of waste, something that is an inevitable part of transforming a property. Waste can accumulate when old materials are stripped out, or when new building materials are delivered in excess, all of which can lead to an accumulation of refuse that can soon crowd a garden or work space.

 

When working on a renovation project, it can be easy to overlook the importance of waste management, where this can feel like a secondary task to be handled once all the prioritised work is completed. But it is vital that construction refuse and garden waste is cleared promptly, where an accumulation of rubbish can become increasingly harmful over time.

 

Read on to find out more about how unsorted waste can cause a myriad of problems if it isn’t cleared promptly.


Soil Contamination


Construction waste can include all sorts of metals, plastics and artificial fibres, many of which can contaminate the soil as these materials decompose. This can happen if small pieces of refuse break away and mix in with the soil, or if chemicals enter the soil in liquid form. Over time this can make the land inhospitable and difficult to cultivate.


Legal Challenges


Many authorities will have legislation in place to prevent the accumulation of construction waste, where these restrictions are designed to prevent environmental harm and the creation of eyesores in the local area. If large quantities of waste are left for a considerable period, construction teams or businesses may face legal challenges.


Wildlife Impact


An accumulation of construction waste can impact local wildlife in a number of ways. If artificial materials are collected in a garden or green space then this prevents wildlife from accessing their natural habitat. Additionally, all kinds of wildlife can ingest pieces of waste that can cause them harm and in turn damage the ecosystem more widely.


Aesthetic Issues


Home and business owners are likely to want any construction waste to be cleared promptly in order to address aesthetic concerns. Large volumes of refuse can obstruct views and detract from the value of the property, so it is important to organise waste clearance as soon as possible.
